thursday

Geez, did I lose my blogging momentum already. It’s 20 degrees here today. On March 13th. I think maybe that’s all there is to say. But I’m here. I’m struggling with turning out tiny bunny ears. And working on scrapbooking the world’s most mundane week… here’s a picture of us sitting in the house doing nothing, and working on taxes, here we are watching tv. Actually Sunday was exciting tv, True Detectives finale & Cosmos in one night! I was so happy. I’m so excited they’re redoing Cosmos so my kids can experience its awesomeness.

Here’s a cute shot from the Land of Nod catalog that has Skip and Charlie in it. I love the messy casual shots they use. I wish the glamour shots of the dolls they’d captured were more like these. I don’t love the one of Skip. And this one of Bertie doesn’t do her justice at all either. Fern‘s is cute though 🙂 I like how her capelet is askew.

epiphany! maybe.

I'm standing in front of my fabric closet looking for something to make a quick bunny from. I have many choices. Lots of Springish choices. Lots of pinks, greens, yellows. And yet I can't find a single fabric I want to make a bunny from. I realize I'm ruling everything out because I've already made something from this or that fabric. And it can be 10 years ago I used it and still I don't want to use it again because I already did. Am I weirdo? I just donated a ton of old thrifted fabric that I was never going to use. Do I need to go through my "good" fabric too? Maybe if I weed out half of it and put it away in the attic for a while I’ll be inspired by what’s left.

scarf to be

I find the first day back to school after a 3 day weekend to be particularly uninspiring. I would think it’d be the opposite. Hit the thrift store in effort to inspire myself and picked out the following from the sari rack to make into an infinity scarf.
