good morning!



it's been so hot here the past couple of days that it's been difficult for me to work - nothing too appealing about ironing in a sweltering top floor apartment, but i persevere just the same. quilt project 03, better known as adrienne and shaun's wedding offering, has officially swallowed me whole. i hustle home from work, have a snack, cue up ira glass, and dive in till i feel peckish again. all the while, i'm loving the process and feel so much more organized with this 3rd quilt. research pays off for sure!

later, maybe we talk inspiration??

amazing no sew, no stitch, felt pieces by craft systems. not really my personal home aesthetic but still so beautiful.

sad to see summer go, but glad to see this from my living room window.

mike's parents are in town and they bought him these lovely flowers - how sweet.

i bought myself 2 cartons of figs at whole foods - also sweet.

we all win.

i die. omigod i die. thanks for sending this betz! miss you lots.

i've been bad about posting lately. i'd like to blame it on my now-in-process project, a flurry of assorted guests, endless baskets of laundry, and bouts of very efficient cleaning. the truth is that i've been feeling very lounge-y these days. watching movies on a projector in my living room seems so much more appealing than spending time on a computer. anyway, back to work! above, pictures of the project that will soon invade my free time.

i feel like i'm chasing summer as i've been opting for weekends north (where it's hotter) to oakland's cooler temperatures. maybe it's the east coaster in me, but i miss the oppressive heat i grew up with. here are some pics of a blissful labor day weekend in sonoma where i visited some clydesdale horses - or as my dad calls them, "budweiser ponies". more pics to come.

i'm obsessed with jenny + johnny's new song - i will listen to this on repeat till i hate it.
