Please can we go here?

We're good friends, aren't we?

Giant granny UPDATE

I bought some vintage yellow yarn on eBay!





Now I can finish the blanket.

Botanizing on the asphalt

Elephant, turtle, bull (?), bicycle, tree, maple leaves.

I made a pincushion

I keep it in this tin.







Even the worst seamsters on earth need a place to stick their pins.

Dinner by Becky

A bunch of stuff in a bowl.

With friends!



Yay!

New kitchen counter!

Greg is making us a second work surface.





Isn't it beautiful?

We're going to chop right on it!

What to do

Save all your yarn scraps and stick them in a tin.



Who cares if they are only two inches long!

When you have time, tie them together and wind them into a ball.



Then: crochet a cover for a cushion!





Yep!

Post-office passport center

DO NOT MOVE THIS STOOL.

Found!

The Bible of Southern Cooks!

Paparazzi

Every night when we leave work:

"Ladies! Who are you wearing?"



"What did you edit today? Is that 'Wite-out' brand correction fluid on your dress?"

And then: everyone wants me sign their copy of MOMA Highlights since 1980.

What a drag.

BEST THING EVER

Brobdingnagian pencil. In the trash.

Yes.

Your attitude about mistakes

Found this morning on the foot stool:



Heh heh heh.

I wonder if these will show up in a print?

The perfect view

My lap. With a cat on it.





We are both purring.

I can't help it

Does this ever happen to you?

You order something. It comes in a yellow padded envelope stiffened with a square of cardboard.

You kind of want to keep the envelope, but it's ripped, so, OK, you throw it away.

But the cardboard! A perfect piece of cardboard!



So brown, so pristine, so light, so cardboardy. You could draw on that. Or build something out of it. Or maybe you will need to pack something.

YOU CANNOT THROW IT AWAY!

You just <3 cardboard.

Augh!

What number even IS this!?

Wandering around the Internet

Found these.








































They remind me of this. And guess what—it turns out these houses are on our street!

Thank you Dan Witz.

Apples!

Mini.



It would be sooooo awesome to make a mini pie!

Or—gasp—mini baked apples!

Hello

Where did you come from?





I like your hat.



Too big for Exley though.

Is anyone hungry?

Because I know where there's a muffin.



Let me know.

Same but different

Remember these orange Mikasa mugs?

Ok, well check this out:



I bought it on Etsy.



Makes me happy.

It's pretty cause it's yellow

It's kind of a rule.

Ha ha

Some doofus went inside and left his bike light on!



Name of Greg.

CRINKLE CRINKLE

Huh—what?



What is that...pink...bag...



CANDY!



I had Almond Joy.

Then I had Almond Why-Did-I-Eat-That-I-Don't-Even-Like-It-And-Now-My-Heart-Is-Racing-And-I-Feel-Strangely-Hot.

Then I had Almond Joy again.

[Cycle repeats infinitely]

Turkey pot pie

Greg made it last night, because I had work to do.



It was SO GOOD—because he did something I never do. Which is: follow the damn recipe!

I made the biscuits for the top.

Leftover biscuits for breakfast:



YES.
