the aftermath


My head hasn't been in a blogging state lately. But I always get that itch, and I know it will come back soon, my need to record stuff here. The photo above was from a delicious Sunday night dinner, and like Molly it captures how this weekend felt for me. I wish they could all be three day weekends....

a different angle


Color Me Katie has a very sweet post up today about taking photos from behind when a group is gathering for a picture. I love the idea of doing this and the different perspective it offers up.

Artist Crush: Bec Groves



Pretty sure I first read about Bec Groves on MrXStitch. I love the details of her work, it makes me want to become a better embroiderer.

SF Chefs Unite


Lucky me, I get to go to this event for work this weekend. My mouth is already watering just reading the menu. We'll be giving away two tickets on one of our sites, as soon as we post 'em I'll link it here. And tickets are still available for purchase here if you're looking to eat some good food for a good cause this weekend.

i heart surprises

You might remember me posting about this map a couple of weeks ago. I post things I love all the time and with my Pinterest obsession it's hard to remember all of the things I covet on the internets. So imagine my surprise when I walked into my kitchen last night to say hello to my boyfriend, who had just come over and was making himself dinner, to see this map hanging casually on my door, just like it had always been there. I think I might have squealed, maybe. Best surprise ever. Well this one was pretty amazing too.

Now that I own one of these beauties I can tell you it's even nicer in real life - so head here to get your very own, of any state you fancy.

Morning on Twin Peaks


More ipod photo fun - the tilt shift app. Shot this while waiting for the bus this morning.

Sweet Ride

This is the shot of this car I've been trying to get right with my plastic cameras for a while now. I love my ipod for making this happen. Although the car is actually pink and I'd still like to capture that. Maybe I'll do a series where I take the same shot with my Holga or Diana as I do with my ipod. That might be a fun project.

Yashica again.. .

I've posted about this amazing camera a few times before. But I swear every time I get a roll of film developed that I shoot with my Yashica Mat I fall in love with it more. I wish I could take some credit but I think the majority of the magic that happens in these shots has everything to do with the camera.

oh no.

I still love film. And I still kind of hate how easy it is to get a photo to look like this with an ipod/iphone. But now that I have one I can kind of see the fun in it. So I'll still be taking photos with film but I'll also be playing around with my new toy a lot despite what I may or may not have said about digital photos like this. Cake!

Modern Log Cabin Quilting

By now you've probably seen Susan Beal's beautiful new book, Modern Log Cabin Quilting. I was so happy to receive my copy, not only are her projects beautiful and detailed the book itself is so pretty and well designed.

I love that the book has a nice range of projects and explains the basics of quilting, which for a non-quilter like me is important. Susan makes quilting seem approachable and easy. I can not wait to pick a project and start sewing. Of course when that will happen with the new job I'm not so sure...

But for now I can flip through Susan's lovely book and dig through the nice big box of fabric Jennifer Paganelli sent me and fantasize about the possibilities.
