I stood up from the sofa and noticed this! OMG, really, I didn't sit there that long, did I? Y and I agreed it was dang hilarious to see my Hydraulic jean imprint so clearly formed so, I had to share. ...

I have been MIA for a week, first due tobeing busy then due to injury.Thanks to those who expressed concern :)you make me feel warm and fuzzy.Follow my week to see what happened:Day 052:I found my wedding shoes! All the rest went back for FREE!The shoes I settled on are a tad higher than I really wanted but for now they are the best choice. Since Zappos gives you 365 days to return, if I do find a better pair over the next few months...

Project 365: Day 051
This is the view as I lay dying under this tree trying to rest after almost making it around the full lake (40 min ride). I can't even imagine how long it would take me to walk it but forever seems to ring true. I would have made it except I attempted to change gears, which I have never understood and still obviously don't, and my bike got all out of whack forcing me to stop. Once stopped, my body realized it should seize the moment...

Project 365: Day 050
We went to The Dish for a nice yummy breakie and this is the mug they gave me for my coffee. Totally perfect. I really wanted to stuff it in my purse but since I haven't done that since my UCB days [blush] and I don't even carry a purse anymore (I used to have to lug so many samples/rocks etc. around for years as an interior designer and felt like such a bag lady, that now I try not to carry anything I can't deal with in my pocket or...

Project 365: Day 049
We brought Stella home today! She's my new ride. Perfect for some fun exercise around the big beautiful lake next to our house (I seriously need some outside exercise now that I don't walk all over SF on a daily basis). As you can see, she was a bit buxom for our Mini. Luckily that convertible top saved us once again. We've moved some pretty large things in this manner. The Ballard Bookcase Company even sports a photo of us moving...

Project 365: Day 047
On a quick run through Ballard (a groovy neighborhood in Seattle) I came across this in a shop window. I think it's a men's clothing store called Blackbird but I am not sure as the windows were covered up with this logo paper. All I know is, it's a meshing of two of my beloved obsessions, a crow and a skull. Waaaaaaaay cooli...

Project 365: Day 046
Today's image is what I think looks like Cthulhu flying over the trees while I was stuck in traffic. I see him in profile with his face looking to the right and wings on his back on the left. See it? His tentacles are trailing down. See it yet?????OK, it is weird and kinda gross. It's actually a "Rorschach" left by a crow on our car windshield, LOL. Yes, and that is what I see!I know, I know, I really need to get out with my camera...

Etsy shop owner Laura Walls Taylor quite possibly has the best timing. I decided to brew a batch of my current favorite tea, Red Bush Chai. I haven't had tea in months. I go through moods. Today my tea had literally just finished steeping when UPS showed up at my door with my new Vulture Mug. Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!!!I love my new mug and it is now my favorite. It is the perfect size and fits my hands and fingers comfortably. The...

Our friends invited us over for dinner tonight at their lovely home. They have recently acquired baby chicks. There were a couple of yellow and mostly black tiny chicks. They were so cute and soooooooooo soft! They are still living in the house under the heat lamp for now. These will be laying brown eggs in the near future. 'Twas a delightful Easter surprise for me.This Easter was also interesting as we attended our first ever Passover...

Project 365: Day 042
I have been working on a business card design job for a client and was finishing up the design work today before our D&D group came over. Zira, not being too happy about the slow invasion of guests, she is a shy one, decided to hang at my feet under my computer desk. This is not her usual spot. Normally she prowls about up here in my studio and likes to hang on either her cushion by the window or atop the spiral staircase, aka her...

Project 365: Day 041
As you might be aware, all Foxy Monster jewelry items come in a black and soft pink jewelry box with non-tarnish cotton. A black and pink double sided satin ribbon/bow (which slides on and off) completes the look for a perfect presentation as a gift or just to keep.It all ends up looking like this after I hand tie the bow:Why do I include this??? Isn't this extravagant or wasteful???There's actually a very good reason beyond presentation,...

Project 365: Day 040
As you are aware, I have been neglecting my wrecking duties due to my crazy schedule at the moment. One page of the journal is for filling with fruit stickers. I started working on that page right away but recently all I have managed to accomplish was this little vignette in my kitchen. We have had all kinds of company as well. No one has asked a thing. I wonder what they all must think? Do they think I have a fruit sticker fetish?...

Project 365: Day 039
These are definitely not the shoes. I decided I better start looking for my wedding shoes now. I've been to enough weddings to know such shoes are hard to find. I looked around Nordstrom, Macy's, etc. but nothing. Then I had a brilliant idea. I love Zappos and tend to buy most of my shoes from there anyway. They have the best service, really helpful customer reviews, free shipping and free returns within 365 days, perfect! I figure...

My Etsy Favorites
I don't know if you all notice my Etsy Favorites down the bottom right column but I am always adding to them. It's the best I can do since I can't figure out how and when to make an Etsy treasury list, lol.I have to point out that my currently added favorites make for an amazing image. You really should check out these fellow Etsy sellers.1. How much for that Lamby in...
