Nails

Happy Spring... even though we are suppose to get an inch of snow today.

P.S. I am painting my nails crazy until the end of summer.

Studio

I really want to clear the clutter out of my bedroom, and apartment in general.  All of my block printing, and knitting projects are creating too much clutter, not to mention I have an overwhelming amount of fabric and supplies.  Plus, it's uncomfortable blockprinting on the floor, and sewing on the living room couch and coffee table.  I'm trying to talk my two girl friends into renting a space with me to split the cost.  If I do ever get a studio space here are the dream objects I would love to fill it with.

Ideas

My ideas folder on my desktop is overflowing with digital images.  I'm in the middle of a gazillion projects, but I'm going to pull up some of my favorites, so I can remind myself of the things I want to do next.  Some of them aren't even projects for me but projects I want my boyfriend to do for me.  Ha... well my birthday is coming up so maybe he'll indulge me...  Unfortunately when I save these images it doesn't record where I have taken them from.  If anyone knows, send me a message so I can give the credit to these creative geniuses!

Movie

I watched Exit through the Gift Shop this weekend, for the second time.  A documentary about graffiti art, more specifically about Banksy and Thierry Guetta, a filmmaker trying to be a graffiti artist.  It's interesting and funny, and the art is amazing... well some of it.

Vacation

   Every year for the past four years, Peter and I have gone to Maine for our summer vacation.  Some years we went alone, just the two of us, and others with a huge huge group of friends.  I am madly in love with Maine, and all the memories I have of being there.  However, I miss the beach.  I grew up going to the beach (Bethany Beach in Delaware specifically) every summer.  The routine always went something like this: pack the cooler, set up umbrellas and chairs, float in the ocean for an hour or two, eat sandy pb&j sandwiches, bury your brother in the sand, come home and take a shower outside, eat a great meal, and hope hope that the arcade and candy store were in the cards for the evening. 
   Well, this year I booked five nights camping in Lewes, Delaware (a fifteen minute drive from Bethany!) on a campground right on the ocean!  It's like the cheapest trip I have ever planned, and much closer than trips to Maine have been.  I'm going to take the extra money and invest it in some camping luxuries - so it is less roughing it and more comfortable.  I'm thinking air mattress, big canopy or screen hut for daytime hanging out (get away from the bugs), fresh seafood - lobsters, crabs, scallops, mussels mmm.., things like that.  It's nice to have something concrete to look forward to, I've been working so much and it's been so long since my last vacation.  Here are some great old school beach photos to encourage daydreaming about summer.

Food

I am way over due for a dinner party.  My friends and I have been slacking, I can't even remember the last get together we have had... Christmas I think.  I love when we all get together and eat lots of delicious food, drink wine, listen to music, tell stories.  Below are some images of inspiration for my future dinner party.
