the shell collector

i made this shadowbox for my mom, labeling each shell with their scientific names. i think i want to make one for myself too!

whities

is that how you would spell white ees? anyway, i found all these plastic farm animals at Rust Belt, a craft fair this weekend and selectively took out all the white ones that i could afford. i like them so.

lil' project

i bought these little dishes from ikea with the intention of painting them gold inside, but the martha stewart paint didn't work out so well. Here's the project I was inspired by.

but then, as you see, it was looking horrible, so i resorted to old stand by: krylon!

la dolce vita baby

a friend and i went to a party of (mostly Sports) photographers held by one of the best people ever! (Thanks Leon!) and in the lil' window just outside in the courtyard was this lil' sweet 5mo. old bebe. i was petting her for ages when i noticed the people on the other side of the window mouthing the words, "TAAKE HERR HOOME!" I went inside and the family sitting at the table heard that she was dropped off this morning there, about 7mi and Woodward, in Detroit, and she needed a home. So, without any second thoughts I took her home to my parents who live kind of close by.

When we returned, everyone clapped and were very happy that we had rescued her. :) She is still with my parents, and I think everyone is falling in love w her. She purrs the second you pick her up and just flops into your arms.

my mom wants to call her Bella, or something Italian to remember where we found her.
