Good deed

Greg and I helped Beth move her studio (out of this building).

To thank us she made us dinner.

Bread pudding:



Cake!



Maybe if you're lucky she'll let you help her move next time.

Leviticus board redux!

OK, remember this board I found?

I saw another one in the same spot!





Too small to join the collection though.

5th Ave/53 Street

Then. Now:

Cat whisperer

I crocheted a toy for Sunday.







































































































I know what the kitties like. Aw yeah.

Found

Metal canister!






















Perfect for containing our board collection.

(Note: black doormat also found on the street.)

Weekend work

Oof. Worth it tho.

Sunday sunshine

On my feet.

Late-night park

Full moon.

Working too hard?

In my sleep last night I said, "Did you check the captions?"

Is it just me?

Or does everyone hate putting the vacuum cleaner away when they're done?

Life enhancer

Something to make and keep in the fridge:



Simple syrup.

Then you can make iced espresso with vanilla syrup.



OH MY GOD YUMMMMMMMMM.

I love Saturday.

Nassau Avenue

Window display.







Pysanky undersea adventure?

Secret desk drawings

Hee hee

I made this in 1987, when I was ten years old.



My Dad had it at his house for years, but now I have it.

It really gives off that art-nerd vibe.

:(

It's just not working.

I give up.

Dinner

It was my job last night.



It's OK to have mac n cheese if you also have a big salad. That's what I say.

Big painty mess

At first I thought it was ice cream.

Totally worth $115

I so want one of these.



Oh, but I love this too!



That's not me but it sorta almost maybe could be in a parallel world. A world where everyone has a lot more style than they do in this one. And wear high-waisted pants.

It might seem like a good idea

But it's probably best not to give yourself a haircut in the morning before work.

Greggy jewelry

I made it for him when I was learning how to crochet.

He wears it on special occasions.

New butter dish

For some reason we have never had a butter dish. We just left the sticks sitting around in the wrapper or stuck them in a bowl.

Well, now we have this!







Made in Mexico of recycled glass from a 1950s mold.

Pretty nice!

Nightime preparations

I like to make mornings as easy as possible.

Patent leather

At the office today.



Flats, clogs, and loafers. Can you guess which is me?

Hint.

Decorative

Remember this?

Well, now the box holds my yarn and the rack part is on the windowsill.



It seems oddly to float.

I like.

Kitties

Testing Greg's wood-burning pen.



































Yep, works good.

Greg is an angel.

Maybe literally?



This pork chop dinner was ready when I got home from work at eight last night with another project to finish before bed.

Thank you my darling.

Dejeuner sur l'herbe

This jumped out at me as I made my way home last night:





What does it mean?

And what does the Manet painting signify to Poles? I don't think a pastiche like this would mean much to most Americans.

Mystery

On our windowsill and fire escape: hunk of grass.



I did not put it there. Greg did not put it there. Our upstairs neighbors were out of town.

Was a bird trying to build a nest there??? Or maybe just left it behind after stopping for a snack?

Street shelves

A homemade unit, sliced in half.



Look what it's made of!



Wainscoting? Molding?



Way to recycle.

I grabbed those two leaning boards for our collection.

NEW OBSESSION

Tomato farming.

Neighborhood fauna

Squirrel. Eatin' bread.



"What?"

Ha.

A new bird:



We think it's a gray catbird!

A wine crate on the fire escape (for future tomatoes):



But—see the stealthy cat in the background!?!?



It stood in that position without moving for a loooooong time.
