Weekend snack

"Roberto's Bread." Bought on the street for $5.

FINALLY!

Birthday watch!

Good for telling the time.



Classic styles! Thanks Greggy.

Saturday coffee

To go.





From "the Heath Ledger place."

Nassau Avenue mystery

Sometimes I catch the bus here.



I have noticed something very odd.







What the—?

Black Beauties

Now these are in my life.



































Welcome.

Oh ha! You can see my reflection in the toes (also the reflection of the BREAD planter)! Shiny shiny man loafers are my new best friends.

I found a hunk of rusty metal!

Yes.



I will put it with the others!

Most best birthday present!

Hudson's Bay blanket! The real deal!





This morning I lay in bed and sang coureur-de-bois songs!

J'entends le moulin ticka ticka tacka,
j'entends le moulin taaaaacka!
Tick ticka tacka tick tick tack,
ticka taaaaacka
ticka taaaaacka. . . 

Etc. It was awesome.

Thanks Greg!

Poker night!

Greg is a shark. (sharp?)

We had a flock of sheep cookies! Made by Anna! (Also lime juice and rum.)





Also much cheese.



And cake.



And everything!





That was fun.

Happy Valentine's Day to me!

I found this rose on the street.

Simply beautiful

Also: free.











































Found on the street. Yep.

The same principle applies to skorl pictures

My friend Beth sent me this picture. She says she took it in the park the other day (she knitted the sweater herself, and the skorl modeled it for her).




She is a very talented girl is Beth. Quite the skorl benefactress.

Baby pictures because why not?

Flashback to Christmas! Samuele is gettin' some work done:



Do not disturb!



He's editing some labels for me.

Restoration Home

Someone should probably get me this book for my birthday.





































Very nice.

I like old-timey pencils!

In fact, I am a sucker for them.






















These are blue.

Fun times

When I go to the Y I like to sit at the mini table and pretend I'm a giant!!



It's pretty awesome.

Rare sighting of a crochet-related accessory!

At Craftster.

WHY WHY WHY?

Why does this scarf have to cost $324?











































Saw it on Totokaelo, which is where I go to torture myself.

My homeland: Canada's Ocean Playground!

Bought for $2 at a flea market in Park Slope last weekend:





Northwest Arm!



Canoe jousting? Wha—?



That is Barrington Street, on the lefthand page, top right.



Apple Blossom Queen.



This looks like the South Shore to me.



Giant fish!



Now I really want to go camping!



Highland Games.






















This was published sometime before 1949.

Found: "shabby" "chic" dresser

Nice, right? Someday I might repaint it.

For now we keep our napkins in it!



And, in the bottom drawer, random crap!



You have to put that stuff somewhere.

I made this!

New glasses case:



I used a new technique of doubling up the strands of yarn: one turquoise and one red in every stitch.



I love it! Also: very sturdy.

Mirado Black Warrior!

Find a pencil, pick it up. All that day you'll have good luck!







Good luck, plus a free pencil!
