paper flower

Hallmark channel, Monday morning, watch Morgan Levine make her delightful oversized flowers with Martha. They are SO striking, you're gonna want to make one... or just buy one...

Magical. 

Spring is in the air.

quote of the day

"When any creativity becomes useful, it is sucked into a vortex of commercialism, and when a thing becomes commercial, it becomes the enemy of man."

homemade mushrooms

I finally finished a couple sets of clay mushrooms—some toadstools and some plain gray. 

I need to take a few more photos and then I can put them up on Etsy.

What a process!

incredibly thankful for mother earth.

I can't imagine what life would be like if the nature looked dreadful.

beauty surrounds us.

dear blog

I have not forgotten about you, I promise.

epic

On my way to work this morning, I rode my bike down 1st avenue against traffic. Passed a cyclist riding the correct direction in the bike lane and he shouted "SALMON!" at me. Took me a minute and then I got it! Made my morning.

Riding home from work last Friday, I got into a little accident on 7th avenue. Car pulled out of a spot right in front of me and I slammed the brakes, face planting over the handle bars into the street. No real damage, but a gnarly bruise on my upper thigh.

It's kind of pretty. Like outer space.

doing mushrooms

Spent Monday—my dreary day off—inside crafting clay mushrooms designed to add a bit of whimsy to any potted plant.

Attack of the fleshy fungicide!!!

Should have some available on etsy soon.
