2nd (and 3rd) attempt


Here are my 2nd and 3rd attemps at the hairpiece that I am going to wear at Jesse's upcoming wedding. Honestly, I don't love either option, but the wedding is this weekend and I am sick of working on this....maybe they will magically turn fabulous once I put them in my hair!

Jeff was given media passes to Outside Lands to write about their food and wine offerings. He took me along as his photographer (sweet!). My highlights for the day including Calexico:


Lucinda Williams:

Robert Randolph & the Family Band (sorry - I couldn't get much closer):

...and this catfish PoBoy.

Hungry? Read Jeff's review of the culinary offerings here.

first attempt


I am attempting to make a fabulous headpiece to wear at Jesse's upcoming wedding....and quickly learning that these things are significantly harder than they look. After wrestling with fabric, ribbon, and clip-on earrings for an hour, this is what I came up with. I am still going to add the hat veiling, but that stuff is a pain, so I need to motivate to adding it. I might be making this too difficult and should just keep it simple (i.e. less ingredients):


Thoughts? Feedback?

oranges, lemons and bells


I love this hilarious installation of "yarnstorming" from Knit the City at St. Martins in London. Reminds me of Jessica's farm box.
