While on the Subject of Geeking Out...
Is Big Bang Theory not the greatest show ever? It reminds me of Freaks and Geeks in the I'm-worried-they'll-cancel-it-because-it's-so-cool, way. It's like the Geeks to the umpteenth degree, but funnier. I just laugh non-stop through the whole thing, and sometimes hubby looks at me like, 'you thi...
you would look fabulous in that suit! buy it! hi.
10 things
My sweet pal Viv gave me this sweet little award I have to list 10 things that make me happy, so here goes; 1. finding old, glass cloche bells to make a terrarium under my dining room table 2. the arrival of this next cookbook from Frankie Magazine 3. this freakin' fabulous bathing suit 4. thi...
good luck, kara! we have a "food is not a big deal" attitude with our kid in my house because both my husband and i have struggled with weight issues (thin, heavy, thin, etc.) and i don't want her to have an unhealthy view of eating in one direction or the other. i try to make sure she's exposed to everything but i never make her sit there until she's done or force her to eat something - i do make her try everything at least once. ;) i agree with your sentiment about feeling for the animals but not being quite as impacted as maybe i should be. i've really changed the way we eat and the way i cook since my daughter came along. anyway, i think it's a great idea to try it and i wish you the best of luck!
Kara: On Eating
(source) I am going to be a vegetarian for the month of April. About a month ago I watched Food Inc. after being prompted by Hayley's Food Adventure. It's a really eye-opening and well-done film and I definitely recommend seeing it. I can't say I had the response like most people did and...
there is absolutely nothing more lovely than a handwritten note in the mail. sigh. you've inspired me!
reaching my "thoughtfulness potential"
Honestly, I try to be thoughtful. I truly have the best of intentions to write the occasional thank you letter, thinking of you note, and birthday greeting in a timely manner. But sometimes I'm really late, and sometimes it doesn't even happen at all. I am so guilty of letting other priori...
OH.
MY.
EFFING.
HELL.
dude. i would have lost my shit so fast and never have been able to compose myself in time to ask for a photo. that is INSANITY. i love them SO much. you are SO SO SO smart to have jumped at the chance when you had it. they are super sweet for saying yes.
WOW. i am SO jealous of you. like, even more than that time that your eyeshadow kicked my eyeshadows ass. fah real.
Incredible Capri...
Monday March 29th 2010, Capri, Italy Edwige and I spent the day in Capri on Monday, a beautiful island in the south of Naples, known in France as a french singer sang he found his first love in this Island. Whatever. We almost missed the boat to go to the island, but we finally made after a l...
oh. my. gosh.
they are so beautiful, they sort of make my teeth hurt. i am way jealous because i can never find fabric that good - much less vintage. wowzers.
Vintage Fabric Galore
I have been hoarding these 1960's fabrics for some time now! And I love them so much that they are displayed in a glass armoire in my living room. Seriously. Is that normal? Most were scored at flea markets and some on Ebay. And even though I've used quite a few for curtains, evidently I don'...
that looks fabulous! which kits are they?
it was like Christmas and a birthday all wrapped up in a pretty bow...
My mom sent down 7 big boxes of stuff yesterday. It was like super exciting to open the boxes and see scrapbook kits I'd ordered 2 or 3 months ago, the possibilities overflowing. Milkglass she'd found thrifting and knew I'd like. My Frankie Magazine (thanks Jodie!!) and Frankie books I'd order...
i've been wanting to get a loom for my girl but i'm not sure she's got the patience for it at nearly 10 years old. ;) but i guess i could always take it over if she gives it up. heh. thanks for the photos!
weaving loom
We've been learning how to weave on a loom. This first one is a child's peg loom and it's teaching my daughter a great deal of PATIENCE. This 2nd loom was a thrift store find with an incomplete woven creation still in tact. It was just too tempting to pass up so it came home with me. I was int...
ditto everything jen said! <3 love the snail shots and the goofy leprechaun action. nice job scoring the coins. ;) miss you!
luck o' the Irish
Usually on Saint Patrick's Day the Leprechaun's come very early in the morning and leave gold chocolate coins for my Littles...well, we've been so busy this last week that the "Leprechauns" forgot about Saint Patty's Day and didn't prepare ahead of time....so, the "Leprechaun" had to search high...
TOTALLY agree. and the video julia posted is one of my absolute favorites!
I am a Thriving Artist
I have a mission: going all the way back to why I began podcasting, including this early podcast and post ~this mission inspires my life, my teaching and my art. I want to change the concept of starving artist to thriving artist. It's time don't you think? I thought so, and then I recently...
aren't these the papers you said were exclusive to france right now? gosh, i've been drooling over them since you posted! gorgeous!

girlfriends...
are one of my greatest gifts in my life. Through blogging and crafting, I have met some of my most inspiring and amazing friends. Jen sent this to me last week and said when she saw it it reminded her of us, with cute coordinating dresses. Now, if I can get her to knit some mini leg-warmers li...
yay! fabulous front entry! love the new puppers! aww! adorable.
casa neuva para mis pies consados...
Well, I'm almost all unpacked, most of my pictures hung (although this place is bigger than my other place here and I need about 20 more prints/wall decor to fill the spaces) and clothes hung. I love this over-the-top chandelier, reminds me of one I saw in an Anthro store in San Fran once, ...

i <3 that she's loving the computer at that age! hee. my girl started before she turned 2 and now she's a whiz. ;) that smile is ADORABLE.
Geeks in Training
D&E came over Sunday for lunch and afterwards, Chris got out the laptop so Eva could play some webkins games. He took The Mags over, as well, and - no surprise - she was totally enraptured by the whole thing. Look at the little genius, already able to work the mouse! She must have d...
heh. that rules. <3 miss you already! you don't have to wait until the next time you're in the airport to email me, btw. ;) xoxo. safe move!
looks like someone is missing the U.K...
Little sis got her hair cut short last week. She loves wearing a mohawk, too. I finally took a picture. you like, right? Agh! I shutter to think not... This next week we're moving into a new house...so I may be a little absent for awhile, but I'll be back..
rest in peace, barbara. love you, celine.
February 16th
Today I was in Jerusalem. I prayed for my sister Barbara who passed away 4 years ago. While walking around the Old City, I surprised myself not to think about that sad day as I was embracing the culture and religion of this amazing place. But we went to St Sepulcre church and I lit a candle fo...
YES! those opening credits...especially in 3D, were AMAZING! yay! i'm so glad you saw it! i can't wait to go back and see it again!
Press!
Well, hello. again. super-late. Oh goodness! It's nearly 11pm and this is the first I've had to finish this blog post that I started on Friday! whew! There were some cool shout-outs that Bubbly Shnooks received last week from some fab favorite bloggers of mine that I'd meant to share for the las...
when i saw this today on danielle's blog, i was wowed. so super gorgeous!
Of leather and feathers
OK, who nicked the first half of January? I have no idea where my days are going just now, but they're going there fast. The only time the hands on the clock seem to slow down is when I'm wide awake at 4 in the morning, trying to get back to sleep, trying to follow the 'don't get up and do work'...
ha! i'm sure there are lots of us sharing words this year. :) good luck with yours!
I feel like a little thief.
Because after I chose my word for this year (which is the first year I have done this, so I'm way behind on this concept) I found out that Heather had already picked this as her word! But I begged and pleaded (well, I left a comment on her blog) asking if I too could use this word and she very g...
I might try and catch it this weekend! I've heard great things.
On the List Today:
Hello, folks. Did I mention I love being at home?? he he...I love being at home. I'm such a homebody. Totally enjoying this week off. Hoping it's two weeks, not just one - we'll have to wait and see when work starts. :) Anyhoo - today (for lack of other things to blog): 1) Buy groceries - an egg...
dude. i am totally gonna learn to knit this year. yay! and this book looks rad!
It's worth reading until the end....
I realized that I've been neglectful sharing some of the lovely things I've discovered lately. #1. I know a lot of the folks in my circles are caught up in knitting (I go back and forth about picking it up again, I'm kinda lazy!!) BUT if anyone does crochet, While We Play has some beautiful patt...
