Food for Thought

Strawberry Love

“It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn’t use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like “What about lunch?”
-A.A. Milne via Winnie the Pooh

igigi & Design Theory

igigi: Everything I need, I could find here.

Have you heard of the igigi general store? It hurts my feelings that it’s in Sussex. As in England, at least a nine hour flight and big money from here…but still tempting.

As I wander around their site, I’m already designing our new rustic house in a big sunny [...]

But Will it Make You Happy?

Is it a strawberry?

“Promise me you’ll always remember: You’re braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.”

- Christopher Robin to Pooh

The King County Metro system has moved my bus stop. {Pause for dramatic effect.}

…they actually put another one back, the one between Molly Moon and The Cuff. I [...]

Shoes for Tuesday & Lollipop Bowls

Wingspan Heels

Cute shoes for Tuesday. {No photos; Tieks are not friendly to my taking their images for free advertising for them…seriously?} In lieu of those shoes, and because there are no limits to the number of cute shoes I can find on the internet, I give you pictures of these cute shoes {above}, and [...]

Grey Friday

Double Obi in Grey

Friday Pounce! {….you caught me. This was supposed to have gone up on Friday, August 20th. Aaaaand it has, technically. I just had a crazy week, and have a backlog of posts to put up. Eventually I’ll be through enough of them that I’ll be putting up my July pie pictures [...]

How to Be Alone

Having become enthralled with Danielle after seeing her read her Knotty Yarn post on YouTube, I’m now stalking her website, Knotty Yarn. Shhh, don’t tell.

Other sites I’m spending my morning tea-time on:

Simply Breakfast

Mango Power Girl

It’s My Darlin …Dana actually stopped & photographed me on my way to work about a month ago. I was quite [...]

Tiny Fat Bird Moods

Bluebird of Happness

Wednesday Pounce!

Bluebird Butt

It’s not news that I love tiny fat birds. I almost named my business Tiny Fat Bird. I ask S for tiny fat bird sketches, prints, watercolors, book covers, tiny fat bird everything. I can be found in the wee hours of the morning curled up with Migi, stalking [...]

Blueberry Lemonade Necklace; Thoughts on Value

Blueberry Lemonade Necklace. Silk.

I’m reading the discussion of perceived value on LinkdIn, which starts with a quote from Japanese Economist Noriko Hama:

“When you buy something cheap, you lower the value of your own life.”

…I buy that. {Seriously} It’s especially in my thoughts these days, since I’m now selling my work, because while I want [...]

Dandelion Girl

Dandelion Girl

It seemed appropriate that I was in the middle of a sneezing fit {not as cute as it sounds} when I stumbled across this pic on Etsy today. Allergies, which I never had growing up, are upon me in spades this Summer, and I am so over it. Sneezing yourself awake is right [...]

Tomato Hues

Tomato Pin Cushion

Monday Pounce!

It’s been so cold in the mornings here over the past couple of weeks; it starts out chilly, keeping me wrapped up in sweaters, scarves and gripping a cup of hot tea, until I wander downtown to work in the afternoon…and I emerge at 5 pm to bright sunny skies and [...]
