Happy Friday Friends!

Here’s something fun:
KPD was mentioned on the Hand Embroidery Network blog!
(I LOVE them!)

Enjoy the weekend!

so I come home from work and I have all these grand ideas of what I’m going to accomplish in the next following hours.
Tonight’s goal: Figure out what I’m going to do next year.
… right after I check my email, respond to some messages, read a couple blogs, and do a little sewing.

I’s 9:19 now and the last thing I feel like doing is self-reflection and research.
so instead I’ll blog.

3 random things:

1. So I’m making all my food these days. It’s working out fairly well… I had homemade applesauce for desert at lunch today. it was glorious.
Yesterday, I made myself an egg wrap using an odd ‘high fiber’ tortilla. The experience went like this:
first bite: “oh goodness. This is disgusting! I’m going to throw up!”
swallow: “okay. breathe… breathe….hmph. I’m hungry and tired and don’t want to make anything else…”
second bite: “okay. Maybe I could just not focus on how bad it tastes. I should focus on the cheese flavour! …focus on the cheese…focus on the cheese….”
And it worked!!! I ate the entire thing without throwing up! Score! I’m super proud of myself. Maybe I’ll be able to use my new found skill to eat other things! like fish!

2. Found this site today through Sarah Von’s blog:
Postcrossing: The Postcard crossing project
!!
“It’s a project that allows anyone to receive postcards (real ones, not electronic) from random places in the world”

3. Earlier this month the Toronto Animated Image Society was offering a Stop-motion animation workshop!!! I almost signed up for it. But alas, I was busy that day. bummer.
I’m keeping my eyes open for the next one though.

I. love. this.
(via Mandy - Thanks Mandy!)

hello there!

I feel like it’s been a while, but it hasn’t! only 3 days! score.

Here are three things:

#1. I’ve decided that I want to open up an umbrella repair shoppe.
in Vancouver.

I’ll repair umbrella’s “while you wait” and it will be a nice coffee house atmosphere. While patrons’ umbrellas are being repaired they’ll be treated to a complimentary specialty coffee, a comfy chair, and an unread newspaper.
There will also be a selection of new umbrellas available for those who would rather trade-in their umbrella instead of having it fixed.
(the above pic of a square umbrella is from Umbrella Heaven.)

#2.
Interrobang.
How did I not know about this word / punctuation before?! I love it!
love love love.
Thanks Contrariwise!

#3. Poem Cup as seen in the Curiosity Shoppe.

I like this.
It reminds me of the bank.
…you know, back in the day when you had to fill out those slips of paper in order to withdraw money.
those were the days….
