my parents

I've always loved this picture of my parents, so when NPR did an article on the website, My Parents Are Awesome, I thought I'd submit it.

I pulled out the 'ol film camera this summer. It's so fun getting them back from the developer, even if the color is weird and there are plenty of blurry ones in the batch.

I love this picture Elisabeth took.
Cecilia's beautiful house pictures!

Some owls

I made these owls once before but wasn't completely happy with the construction. I've decided to use dowels, drilled in and secured, a nice clean look.

Have you seen these flies yet? via ffffound.
I made this yummy dish last week.

more grey

Feeling a bit unfocused lately. A Urologist who had purchased mooks from me in the past has now commissioned an anatomically correct mook. The above is a cutout from the fig leaf I am making, for the sake of decency ;)

I was just telling Tony that I wish Bean Bags would come back into style, but with an updated look. A few days later, I spotted these in the back of a magazine. Made by Stephanie Marin for Marin Designs, these might fit the bill -I'd love a bunch of them, scattered about in the house.

These comics by K. Beaton are so funny.

We didn't catch any fish.

On a rainy day we went fishing. The sun peeked in every once in a while. Enzo came prepared with his fishing lure collection but we wound up using some greenbacks (they were already dead) that were given to us by some really sweet and knowledgeable fishing boys. We never caught anything but it was really nice.

A big, huge congratulations to Fliss, she's had her little one :)
And some beautiful baby pictures of Leen's sweet Annabel.
mieke willems has their new online shop, now all those nice things are within grasp.

October weekend

Had a weekend jam-packed full of some of my favorite things:
Went to a wonderful Oktoberfest with some great people.
Saw Where the Wild Things Are, really liked it.
Spent a lot of time out in our yard, planting a peach tree and getting my fall garden ready.
Made my most favorite White Chili and looked through the new Mome that just arrived in the mail.
And best of all, snuggled up with my guys-we finally got some nice cold weather here :)
