the week in review: sep 6-12

in between bouts of job hunting and home searching we managed to make things, cook good meals, celebrate a birthday, visit an apple farm and flounce about in happy socks. this week will most probably involve much of the same. i wish i could find work crafting and writing about it. my head is so full of ideas it will soon surely B U R S T ! ! !

i'm a cover artist!

mixtape and i go way back. i was the first crafty profile girl in issue numero uno and contributed to both the kids issue 7 and issue 11. before the mister & i hit the road, i got to eek out a last bit of crafty business creating the cover image for the most recent (and second to last in print on paper) issue of mixtape zine. the theme was All Around the World and man, did we travel all around our little world. it's a great issue, if i do say so myself and i do and there will be at least two more issues available in time for the holiday season, so get your crafty indie-homemade-fix withmixtape (you can even pick up earlier issues) and be one of the coolest kids on the block! thank you justine, it was a fantastic ride!

bundling up in the summertime

a few weeks ago, mr. a-go-go & i went to see Where the Wild Things Are in the park as a part of a free summer movie program. since evenings tend to get chilly here in the central valley, we knew coats and hats were in order...and blankets...hot cocoa is good...so is popcorn.and i cried like i always do when i watch this movie (well, both times).

the week in review: august 30-september 5

last week was chock full of hugs, squeeze, goood visits and ice cream. we left los angeles for slo on thursday where we met up with the danny boy who is no longer the young lad we knew. he's almost taller than mr. a-go-go and has facial hair to boot, gosh kiddo, we do adore you and hope you come up soon for a visit. back in slo we wandered around the valley with a sister a-go-go, hung out in morro bay, enjoyed some pretty tasty fish & chips and blackberry crumble. we rode our bikes into town in search of soba noodles and checked out an old fashioned threshing bee. a pretty good week mehtinks. a pretty good week. this week we get back to job hunting and project finishing. may your september be a happy one!
