i cannot believe that it has been exactly one month since my last post! wow, either i'm a real slacker of have been really busy...we'll go with really busy :)
actually, things have been a little crazy here in the Des and here's what has been going on:
1. we went on a super relaxing trip north to the cabin and spent time with wonderful family [more pics will be coming soon!]
2. the Sunday night we got back from Minnesota, we got 4-6" of rain in a couple of hours and our basement flooded for the second time in three years...ugh!
3. the next night, our basement flooded again... double ugh!
4. i drove back to the cabin the following weekend to pick up youngest son, who stayed on and missed all the drama at home [man, was i jealous!]
5. work has been crazy busy
6. school started today... yeah!!! both of my boys are now in high school and all i can say, again, is how time flies!
it's called Pocket Shop and you can see mine on the right sidebar of this page [under Please visit]. the widget provides access to a lot of of your etsy shop information, is super easy to set up and install, and there are seven different layouts available.
and this great tool is provided by the always helpful craft cult folks. if you have an etsy shop, you should check it out!
isn't this wonderful? it reminds me so much of when my boys were younger and always outside playing baseball...
this piece was created by mummysam, whose work i just stumbled upon. i love her sewn and fabric art as well as her new fabric line @ Robert Kaufman. there really is so much more, so i would suggest taking a peek if you're not already familiar with her work!
... no, that's not a mis-spelling above. an absolutely hilarious etsy treasury curated by chuckhodi was brought to my attention by regretsy on facebook today. check it out here!
Mara Skujeniece is a ceramic genius!
She used these spools for inspiration
to make these molds
to create these beautiful vases
and i cannot tell you how badly i want this!
you can find the entire 'spools' collection and many other wonderful creations [the hyperbowls are fantastic too!] at skujeniece... [website found via Aesthetic Outburst]
i have, do and always will LOVE argyle [i still have a pair of argyle socks from college, which was only twen- ...ummm not so long ago]. those simple geometrics just never seem to go out of style...
you too can play flickr favorites over at ArtMind...i forgot there would be a theme since it's the first week of the month, but oh well...
i just watched this movie for the bazillionth time and i love it! i always feel so proud to be an American after watching it- plus it's just a great movie with wonderful songs and dancing! hope you're having a wonderful weekend, no matter where you are...
