golden delicious (big) apple

this city sure is bizarre to us non-city folk. or just me.
my feet are sooo tired (and dirty/stinky!) !

fruit tart toot fart

happy mother's day!


oh my goodness glazed perfection.




okay, so, this making of the foodstuff is getting to be pretty tasty.

chloe

the weather has been perfect, so i'm trying to spend more time outside. chloe gets more time outside, too. i think she's pretty jazzed about summer. what do you think?


what a spaz.



she's such a babe.

honey, i'm home

wednesday was pretend-to-be-domestic day (okay, i made it up). so i made steak. and sweet potato fries. and stuffed mushrooms. and and and apple turnovers...

i'm pretty pleased with myself, so i would like to take this opportunity to to show off my minimal cooking skills, because maybe this'll be the drive to make me cook and bake more often than just during my cookie dough blues.



fresh warm apple turnover... mmm... someone pass the 'nilla ice cream!



i think i'll make a fruit tart for mother's day.

so, presently...

Erykah Badu - "Window Seat"

this song has been on repeat for the past week.
[off of new amerykah part II (return of the ankh)]

so good!!!

sepia

i actually started drawing this week.
nothing fancy.
i need more practice.
no erasing! ever!

knock, knock, who's there?

oh, it's just spring.
someone at the door?
oh, just a fly. hello, fly.

spring means green,

with lots of ugly new things!

on mornings like these...

i just want to stay inside,
writing to old friends on my new toy,

and enjoy complete balanced breakfasts.
(egg-in-a-hole, blackberries, and bananas... mmm.)

clouds, you can stay awhile longer.

today's undertaking

it's been awhile since i've crafted anything... but birthdays will spur me into action! i was a wee bit worried my un-crafty spell would never end. apparently long bouts between crafts leads to over-exertion and over-enthusiasm once you start again. i forgot how obsessive and anal i get about making things.

anyways, inspired by this Instructable, i decided to make a shag rug for matt's 23rd birthday.

i used flannel instead of t-shirt material... cutting strips is such a pain! i've got blisters on my fingers...


one day later and halfway done!


the finished product. does it look like plaid, or did i fail?


soft on the toes!



i hope he likes it. my back hurts. ouchie!

go, explore

science is fun, especially when there are a billion kids running around 'ooh'-ing and 'ah'-ing and cutting in front of you and grabbing things out of your hand!

notables: drinking fountain toilet, is this room getting smaller?, and BRAINS!!!
