Mwaaahaahaa. I got a skein of Vesper Sock Yarn from kpixie today. They went on sale at 1:00 my time and appeared to be all gone at 1:05. It was so hard to chose a color, but I knew I didn’t have much time, so I went with Midnight Knitter (it’s the one on the bottom):

Turquoise and Orange! Delicious! Now I just have to finish the other two pair of socks I’ve started.

UPDATE:
Well, that’s what I get for gloating. My order went through, my card was charged, but apparently I was seconds too late, so no yarn for me. :o(

This is me being completely materialistic, but I really would love to have this and this. I also really like this one. This one isn’t pink, but it’s just so cute. Here’s the thing. I don’t drink café au lait, or even coffee, but I just love café au lait bowls. Would it be wrong to start a collection of pink ones?

P.S. Lady Eleanor? She is fini! Pictures tomorrow.

Sometimes I just like to look at my favorite photos by other people on Flickr. Don’t they look good together?

I think I’ve figured out this Art for Art idea that I was talking about yesterday. I’ll post a more definitive explanation within the next few days. Meanwhile, I’d still love to get input from others, please leave a comment if you think this sounds like something you’d be interested in, and maybe even spread the word on your own blog?

I have this idea, but it’s not fully formed yet, so I’m sitting down and typing it out and hoping that I can make sense of it all.

I created an Etsy account for myself, and the plan is that I will put some things up for sale and the money will go right into my Paypal account and then it will go right back out again as I buy some cool original art from some other Etsy sellers. I want to fill my home with original art, some of it mine, but it would be boring to only have my own creations displayed, I want to collect all kinds of stuff. So, while I think my plan is good, it’s going to take me awhile to have enough to sell to be able to buy what I want and I want more immediate gratification.

What I want to do is exchange art for art, but I want each artist to be able to specify some parameters for the art they will receive. Size, color, medium, subject, any and all of those categories. I would most likely create some sort of textile art, because that is what I do best, but I wouldn’t mind having a patron, for lack of a better word, that will give me an idea of the sort of thing that they would like, and I would do the same, based on what sort of art they generally create. I think this exchange could also involve some sharing of materials. Does this make sense? I know I don’t have a huge audience, but are there any artists/craftspeople out there up for something like this? Leave a comment or send an e-mail, I would love to hear from others about this, and suggestions would be welcome as well. I’m not sure if this would work on a larger scale, or if I should limit it to me and one other person. I’m just sending this idea out into the internets and will be waiting to see what comes back.

I’m going to the cd release party in L.A. next week, I’m very excited.

Today I like my Votivo candle (scent: Clean Crisp White)


I like using my Mrs. Meyer’s Counter Top Spray (scent: Geranium)


While I’m spraying my counter tops and cleaning, I like to listen to my iPod with my Bose Sound dock.

I like my dog Reggie, even though he is getting old and crotchety.

I like my cat Gigi. She likes masking tape, scotch tape, packing tape and envelope glue. When I peel off a new layer on the lint roller she comes running and I give it to her to nibble on. She’s a little weird, but in a good way.


I like the salt and pepper shakers my sister-in-law sent me, just because she knew I would like them.
