Grey felted scarf.
I want to make some of these…
Felt pebbles.

Textbook Pumpkins are awesome.
Mondrian Cake
I’m a Flickr & Tumblr addict.

Tartlette rules.
I want to make this Apple Cardamom cake, via Tartlette.
Trying out some new themes; the look of the site might change a couple times while I play around with the style.

Yes!
So. It’s been an odd year, and my time on this site has clearly suffered. Apparently the powers that be really missed my blog posts, because I find myself laid up with a broken foot, a pile of books & my computer.
I was a miserable wreck trying to get up/down our stairs – we’re on the top floor, no elevator – & the most basic things are almost impossible when you can’t put any weight on your right foot. I spent the first few days feeling sorry for myself, watching old TV shows on Netflix, eating pity doughnuts from Top Pot & realizing how thankful I should be that it wasn’t my head that cracked at the bottom of the stairs. Or one of my hands, keeping me from making jewelry. I’m still alive, which after missing four stairs and landing on a concrete floor is definitely something to be thankful for.

Pocket Frog Love.
Blogging is like exercise. The more you do it, the easier it becomes, but if you spend a month on your couch eating Cheetos, excercise gets a little more exhausting. I haven’t been sitting around eating cheesy snacks, but I have been up to everything but blogging. No writing, no sitting & sifting through Tumblr and Pintrest. I’ve been working, which is rewarding but exhausting, & running around town, cleaning the house, selling a large part of my former wardrobe…and maybe playing Pocket Frogs. Maybe. Don’t tell.
It’s good to be back,

“Get up and work.”
I actually didn’t intend to take a two month break from my space here. My studio’s in need of a little love too, as long as I’m being honest.
August is here & I’m feeling much better. {I’m the only person I know who can catch pneumonia in July. July fourth.} I’m adding work to my shop, doing some serious cleaning, & putting my wardrobe through another overhaul. Anyone interested in buying a pair of worn-twice 9.5 limited edition Fluevog boots that I love, but are too small – send me a message, or they are going on eBay!
I’ve gone and invested in two new pairs of shoes:
Best. Boots. Ever.
These won because the heel is the perfect height, the arches fit like a glove, and on my 35″ inseam, they go up to my knee on their lowest setting. I. Love. Them.
The perfect Oxford.
Truth Selby’s. I could walk all day in these, and probably will. Love. I need more Alexander Wang and Black Crane in my wardrobe to go with them…
So, everything that doesn’t go with these shoes are being hung in the potential-elimination section of my closet. We’ll see how that ends up going. {Luckily, it looks like I have a good foundation of pieces that already go with them.}
Oh! I’m also selling this ring:
Vintage Sapphire Ring
It’s on my Etsy page!

I found this via Mighty Girl…anyone who’s met me, or possibly has read this blog for long enough knows that I’m prone to unnecessary rants about small injustices, like the guy who walked into our store today with a lit cigarette, or the other guy who came in with a ferret. I have a daily battle against the patrons of the ice cream shop across the street, who haven’t heard of the extension of the “you break it you bought it” rule to include ice cream & cashmere. It’s reassuring to listen to someone else rant about small offenses the way I do.
If you’ve worked in an office, the last minute and a half or so of the video is for you. Of course, most of the people telling those stories don’t realize that they’re only funny if you work in accounts/insurance/the office.

A place for everything…
Dish love, found via A Well Traveled Woman. I’m spending a lot of unintended time on Tumblr and Pintrest. {Step one is admitting you have a problem.}
But I’ve made sure my friends are addicted to it too, so I’m not alone, which means….it’s not a problem! …still working on that thought process. Sorry, friends.
Had a lazy Sunday full of pretty people who were so sweet, which is always nice. Seriously, you guys who smile and talk with me, and laugh outrageously when I hold up the fantastic candy-pink Tucker dress? You make my day. Although you were very nearly topped by an adorable little girl with a headband who teetered around in platform Coclicos for a while before collapsing into fits of giggles. Just giggles, mind you – we are very safety conscious, and it was over carpet only. I think a new shoe addict was born today.
Tomorrow I’ll be back at my bench in the morning, then overhauling our kitchen. {I feel like I’m always overhauling something these days. It sounds very dramatic. I’m just figuring out how to be an adult taking care of adult things.} It’s fallen to me to make sure we’re eating right while Shawn works to make the next Angry Birds…please, let it be the next Angry Birds, I could use some new shoes. So – recipes and healthy stuff all around.
Guess what I have??
Good to the Grain

“Epic Mopping”
Shawn did a sketch of what he imagines I do on my days off when he’s at work.

…Sunday song to make you smile. Psapp is best known for the Grey’s Anatomy theme {Cosy in the Rocket} but I far prefer “Dad’s Breakdown”, especially for the line “you may well laugh, I certainly did when I wrote it down in my ‘portentous breakdown’ column”.
