Goodness

Oh Goodness! My brain is having the most difficult time not exploding from all that is in my head. There are so many things I want to make and do. Such an inspiring week this has been. From pretty things in magazines to awesome creations on flickr to springtime colors seen at Anthropologie to a worn vintage sweater, I'm about to burst! Today is the last day of my 36th year. Tomorrow I will turn 37 and begin another year of creativity...hopefully even more so than the last.

Today is the kick start to my birthday weekend, because you know, it is after all, MY birthday so why not make it last? I just got back from Yoga and I am worn and tired and exuberant. I will quickly made a madcap dash about the casa to straighten things up and put the finishing touches on a couple of gifties for wee friends and then it is off to a photobooth and some cupcake eating with my gals Stacey and zaza. Oh I can't wait! Happy Friday folks!

Aren't those cupcakes pretty? They're from Leda's in Sherman Oaks and we snacked on them while watching ANTM. Thanks Renee!

Lunar Eclipse Tonight!

I hope these clouds go away! If yer in L.A. you should be able to view it pretty darn well! Take a look at the sky from sundown to about 8pm...I think that's what I heard. Yay!

Hop! Hop! Hoppin'!

A new round o' bunnies will be up in the shop soon! I just need to stitch up some samples as I'm thinking of doing customs this year. I have the fronts all printed. Four or five different browns and then brown printed bunnies on pastel pink, green, blue or yellow. You get to pick the backing color and bow and I'll stitch them up an mail them to you. I can't wait! They make me very happy. No bunnies in boxes this year, just cellophane. Oh how I love spring and Easter and bunnies!

The Week in Review: February 11-17

It was a chaotic, fun, crafty, busy and ickified week. I broke out the gocco for this year's batch o' bunnies and mailed off most all of my swaps. I baked merengues and cupcakes and popovers. I coughed, I sneezed, I whined and I ached. I did not however manage to nap. Drats! This week, hopefully, will be better. I'm still feeling sickish but it's moved up to my ears. Youch! Hope y'all have a most pleasant week. This is my birthday week. Whee!

Yesterday was a busy day. I got all gussied up for the holiday and took silly pictures. I also made some cupcakes and some homemade cinnamon cream cheese frosting. I then hit the library and merrily went my way to class. I've got a big time research paper due and I need to come up with a topic. Yikes!

Now, it's almost three in the afternoon and I have done nothing all day. Nothing productive mind you, it's not like I was simply sitting on the couch looking at my sock monkey collection. Though, truthfully, there was much sitting on the couch as I am feeling halfway run over by something large like an SUV or something. I'm not having an agreeable moment with all the ick and sickishness that is floating about the neighborhood. Everyone seems to be coming down with the ick or ending the ick or in the middle of it all. The hacking I am hearing is enough to make me hide in the bathtub. If only my bathtub were nice and didn't drain so quickly. I'm in that purgatory of not being sick but not feeling good. It must be a lot like how my mamos felt all her life. Not fun, I'm telling you. Not fun.

Today I did however, wash the dishes and watch this movie. I also read this magazine and looked at this book. I think I will sit on the floor now and organize my fabric stacks or maybe I will snuggle back into the sofa with this movie and one of these.
