oh, so modern.

it's that time of year again. time to be terribly disappointed by cold blustering days, and time to be surprised by the days so perfect you don't even know where you end and the air begins.

fun fact friday!

here are some of my wind turbine pix. i just thought i'd compile them in a single post. they are fun to look at, anyway. they are all licensed through Creative Commons as attribution only, so if you would like to use any of them on your blog or website, all you have to do is link the photo back to my Flickr account.

dear internet,

cynicism. it's the affliction of our generation, a personal affliction of mine, and it is an absolutely useless trait. Conan took the time to stomp on cynicism during the last few minutes of his final night as host of the Tonight Show.

"All I ask of you is one thing(and I'm asking this particularly of young people that watch): please don’t be cynical. I hate cynicism — it’s my least favorite quality and it doesn’t lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you’re kind, amazing things will happen."

wow. i felt like he was talking straight to me. and then i thought this whole mess with NBC might be good, not just for Conan, but for every young person who tuned in and heard his appeal.

sew, sew

i have been sewing a lot lately. here are some pix of my most recent creations. i have a lot more, but for the past few days i have had trouble uploading pictures to any website. so these will have to do.


baby bib


pillow case




camera cover

clearly, i really dig this paisley fabric which i was able to pick up for $2/yard.

i really want to make some of these baby footies with some cute fabric.
