naughty list
I’m feeling a little naughty because I took advantage of Cyber Monday to purchase things for myself. A new winter coat, 30% of the already reduced sale price, plus free shipping. New running shoes, last year’s model, free shipping. And also because my new Kindle Fire arrived and I feel like a kid at Christmas. That’s part of the dilemma of Christmas shopping isn’t it? That temptation to buy things for oneself. Best of luck in making it to the nice list.
My Naughty Wish List
- letterpress date book
- reversible linen apron
- this necklace
- this set of honey badger buttons to hand out to people “in the know”
- these household boulders - in the ridiculous, money to burn category.
- decals – any of them
- these lovely bed linens
- this nail polish
- ultimately some day the barn house
Truthfully I don’t want much of anything, but it is fun to just dream a little.
and here is the link to the clay ornaments tutorial.
papercut heroes
I’ve been following Rob Ryan forever. He is one of my papercut heroes. A friend sent me a Rob Ryan coffee mug recently, and in her note she said she had never heard of him before. I was flabbergasted.
Doesn’t everyone know who Rob Ryan is? Maybe not. Here are two more papercut artists I admire immensely. Just in case you’ve never heard of them let me introduce you. Angie Pickman is the artist behind Rural Pearl. About a year ago she graciously gave me permission to use one of her papercut designs for my tattoo.
The other artist is Suzy Taylor otherwise known as Vegaslammy.
Who knows, maybe someday someone will describe me as one of their papercut heroes.
blazing hot
Yea, I am of the genetic stock that sports sweat mustaches! I’m telling you the only way to deal with this heat is with a sense of humor. Saw this poster on Knack today, via Every Day Posters Every Day. I scrolled through every last poster on the site, then made my own:
where i live*
*in my head
Lately the heat indexes here have been in the 100′s. The other day I ran 4 1/2 miles at 1:00 in the afternoon when the actual temp. was 99. So, I was thinking that either I’m some kind of Super Hero or completely lacking in common sense. That got me to thinking about creating an info graphic to really get to the bottom of the mystery. As you can see denial is nearly as big as reality, and alternative universe is the biggest of all. Obviously that’s where I live most of the time.
And *squeeeeeee, Harry Potter – The Last, comes out tomorrow. My kids and I have lived at Hogwarts off and on since then very beginning. THE. VERY. BEGINNING! Hogwarts seems as real as reality. Harry, Ron, Hermione – they are our friends. It will be hard to say good-bye. So for a little while longer I’m going to live at Hogwarts.
sky lanterns
We celebrated N.’s 13th birthday on Sunday. Sky lanterns were part of the festivities. Wow, we got 16 for $37.00, but I see from the link that the price has doubled. WTH??? Anyway, they were magical!
I’m feeling an itch, and I don’t think it’s chiggers or mosquitos. I think it is an itch to be back in this space…
