Sleepy Eyes

If only they actually looked good on someone...

just a little bit longer...

Madly, madly, madly...

Loving these fashion photographs (and clothes!) from Gruhche

the designer lives in Utah and Idaho

 

 but says she spends a lot of time in Vienna, Austria

I wonder if she's met my friends

and that's all I need to know...

know, know, know

madly, madly, madly...

Black Beauty

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!! 

 ...or Thursday for everyone outside of the U.S.

Happy Black Friday!

Adios Autumn

It may have been winter now for a bit, but it still doesn't always quite feel like it in Tennessee.  Thank you 70 degree weather.


Either way, I'm sure the temperature will regulate out to cold sometime soon, so here's a little sendoff to fall with some warm autumn hues from inside.  I'll just hope winter brings snow - just doesn't quite feel the same without it after living in Colorado.

I'll see you all Friday, Happy Thanksgiving!

...sometimes it'd be nice to just sit and stare

sit and stare...

sit and stare away...

 

As cozy as an apple

I stumbled upon these apple cozies the other day in Cuffe Shop and am still finding them amusing!

Green

Brown

Multi-Colored

 Or, perhaps, you'd prefer an apple pouch instead

I think they were made with the teacher in mind, but I really like this little pouch myself!

...maybe I should be a teacher 

mmm, maybe not...

"Here comes the sun..."

Little darlin'

 The smile's returning to the faces

 Seems like years since it's been here

and I say...

...it's alright, it's alright

 

Please disturb...

 Just a little something funny from Piratebooty for your Saturday

 

...now back to work

 

so maybe i'm not quite there yet...

peels erom deen

Or, if I'm straight forward, 

need more sleep.

This weekend will be filled with work work work...

So, here's some fabric

 a pinback button (or magnet)

 and some buckles and sliders

Happy Friday!

...sew long for now!

Hoooly Hotel!

I'm obsessed!  I saw this just last week; but man it's cool.

HOW is this a hotel?  It may not seem like the ritziest hotel around, but if you're into unique or economy spaces, this might be the perfect place for you to check out; or should I say, "check-in"?

Here you have it ladies and gentlemen, Portland's own Ace Hotel:

Or, if you prefer, Seattle

Or New York

Or yes, if none of those suit you, Palm Springs

...yep, I think I'd do just fine on that patio

just fine in deed...

Polaroid Partiality

Well, I'm about to begin working on my collection, but luckily I remembered I hadn't blogged for the morning...

So I open up Etsy; when what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a miniature Polaroid, 8 tiny when near!!

Okay, so maybe it's not Christmas quite yet, but wouldn't these make for some fun cards?

Or hey, why not just use them as decorations?

I love the look of hanging pictures on a clothes line with wooden clips (I actually painted some to hang black and white photographs when I was out in Colorado)!

A calendar would make for a great gift too though...and check out the inside!

Or a photograph of Salvador Dali's original boat, named after his wife (and muse!)

docked at Portlligat bay!  How cool is that?!

Oh, and for those of your wondering, I have made it to day 3 of boot camp

(thank you alarm clock).

But, alas, time to finish the latte and get to sewing!  Bed, I will see you tonight...

Thank you Ella K Sverdlov for this inspiring photography.

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

...can't believe another week has almost flown by again

2 weeks and my collection will be finished...

2 weeks.

2 weeks.

2 weeks.
