Stands in line (of which I may be the only one right now)to pick up her stash holding a giant box of dark chocolate covered graham squares to give to Bari in the event she's needing a fix and happens to be in my town on arrival day. Should she not be in town, I am super willing to send them via Pony Express to show my appreciation for the most beautiful fabric collection in all the world. I am planning on making my summer wardrobe from every last thread...
Paris Apartment... The whole collection.
I've been giving you snippets here and there of Paris Apartment. I have now been cleared for take-off and can show you the complete collection. As much as I love my three previous lines, there is something so entirely close to my heart in this one. I can't put my finger on it, but when the sa...

Your giveaway is not only fabulous and generous, but it's also the greatest birthday present EVER!! Yup, you're picking the winner on my birthday.

Cherry Blossom Picnic 2011
Yes, it's cherry blossom time again! I just adore our annual family picnic down at the Tidal Basin in D.C. and eagerly anticipate it all winter long. We usually try to wait for the warmest, sunniest day to go, but the weather just hasn't been cooperating with us. So, this year, we bundled up,...
This inspires me to make friends with my crochet hook again! How can I find this book???? :)

Crochet obsessed
Lately I've had crochet on the mind. This was further fueled by a happy browsing session at Kinokinuya in Sydney on Friday, where I came away with this book: As always, there are some refreshing Japanese takes on what can sometimes be a daggy craft. As far as crafts go, crochet was my first...

I've been playing around with an iPhone app called Hipstamatic. Love it. You can fiddle around with the different settings and get different effects. It gives everything a very vintage feel. I spy with my little eye....a rotting banana. Today was a very interesting day. California is h...

3 mice live here
Vernal Equinox is this weekend and it feels like it could snow around here. It's not that cold really, but you know what they say in Portland—it's a wet type of cold. We still plan to celebrate the first day of spring as usual but this might be putting on rain jackets and boots and visiting...

Someone is getting a present. That's all I'm saying.... (I think giving presents is just about the most fun ever, don't you?)
