Which one do you like the best?

hollyhock house

The Hollyhock House was designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright for heiress Aline Barnsdall in 1921. She disliked the house, and soon donated it along with the surrounded lands (now refereed to as Barnsdall Park) to the city of Los Angeles in 1927.

The name Hollyhock House was given to the structure due to the stylized representation of the Hollyhock flower that Wright used as decoration along the outside.

You aren't allowed to take photos inside the house, but I assure that it's definitely worth a visit!

water

Water, Our Thirsty World is the current exhibit on display at the Annenberg Space for Photography, a museum devoted entirely to photography that opened about a year ago in Century City. The museum is free and I found the exhibit very moving. The  exhibit was produced in conjunction with National Geographic, so if you're not able to visit the exhibit in person (on view through June 13th), please check out the current issue.

buttoned up cowl

I haven't posted about knitting projects in awhile, but never fear, I'm still purling away. I just finished this cowl for the second time (the first iteration got ripped out, as it looked terrible). I added buttons to it - otherwise it would have been hard to get on over my enormous head. I think it came out pretty cute - too bad its supposed to be 80 degrees today!

I'm especially pleased with the buttons, purchased at The Button Store.

Ravelry: Burburry inspired cowl, or here.

a garden tour!

I have a black thumb, killing innocent plants before they even knew what hit them. It's clearly not genetic, since my mother has cultivated a supremely beautiful garden. Take a gander!
