unruly things

hi friends! thanks so much for the well wishes. I’m feeling lots better. it’s great to know what good rest and lots of movie watching can do for you.
I was able to get out of the house for a bit this weekend, despite feeling sick. I bundled up in my hoodie and went to a little farm on Sauvie’s Island in search of a pumpkin. instead, dlb and I picked out these tiny gourds! to put their size into perspective, that little yellow squash shaped one is just about 2 inches long. love.
I’m working on finishing up the calendars for tomorrow’s shop update. I’m so happy with your enthusiasm about the calendar. I really love the way it turned out and couldn’t be happier. the shop update is scheduled for tomorrow at 10am PST! hope to see you there!

I’m:
at home.
full of sniffles.
sore throat.
sick.

I wish that:
I could be outside. it’s beautiful in Portland today.

this weekend I’m:
working on a fresh set of calendars for my shop.
finishing up long over due orders.

there will be:
a shop update on Tuesday at 10 am PST with calendars and possibly some other goodies.

I’m off to get some rest. I hope you have a wonderful weekend, filled with lots of sunshine, happiness and rest.

have you read Smitten? I’ve totally gotten hooked. it’s the coolest dating and relationships blog, written by the amazing Joanna Goddard of A Cup of Jo. from reader submitted photos to funny dating “do or don’t” to adorable proposals, it’s such a fun read. if you haven’t read it, go there now. I promise you won’t be disappointed!

I’m not normally one to like exposed zippers but, I am in love with this dress.

I love these handmade leather bags very much.

Abby opened a shop with some of her lovely photographs. I love each of them so much though these two are my absolute favorite.

check out this stop motion film that Afton and her co-workers made to promote the studio where she works! I love it. so cute and creative.

I tried. it didn’t exactly work out.
but if I did, I’d make this neckwarmer from this pattern. however, my grandmother has been itching to knit. packaged in a pretty envelope, I sent off the instructions to her last week.
I’m excited.
