A Bit of Randomness
Yesterday, the marvelous Rhea came over for some chatting and tea. I call her the "marvelous Rhea" because she really is quite marvelous. She knows me well and as soon as I whipped out my camera she asked, "is this going on the blog??" Rhea is a terrific graphic designer and has agreed to completely rework my logo for the shop, including business cards and some free gifts to include with my Etsy sales.
I'm really excited about it all and hope to reveal the new look with the next update of my shop. Hopefully that will be towards the end of the month. There's so much crafting going on here, but I want the next update to be a surprise. I'll show you snippets here and there in the coming weeks so at least you know something is going on in the green room.
The following are completely random photos I've taken around the house lately. I guess quite fitting for a Friday, where the craziness from the rest of the week seems to melt away in anticipation of the weekend. Ah, Saturdays...lounge pants, pancakes, a good book, a movie, some snow playing (and eating), and visits to our favorite little book store to see friends and have my daily soy mocha.
A hat the little one found buried in Stephen's office. She dragged it upstairs and placed it on the floor in front of where I sit on the couch. I found it after she had gone down for her nap and chuckled as I read the visor.
A mobile that was my sister's, then passed down to me, now passed down to the little one. It sits in our living room where the sunlight streams through the window most of the day.
A glass bubble I thought looked brilliant in the sunlight.
My favorite dried flowers that I never tire of.
I hope your weekend is full of creativity and laughter. Stay warm! See you back here on Monday.
Hey e. I like the photos you took of me!!! I didn't think I would like them, but I do. And I noticed that I have very child-like hands. Thanks for the tea, have a great day. See you tonight???

Heather- It was -10 degrees here this morning. I think going out to get my daily soy mocha may have to wait until tomorrow :)

I laugh to myself everytime you say "lounge" pants :) How exciting, a new logo! Can't wait to see what you put in your shop! By the way... I had my very first Green & Blacks milk chocolate bar today, it was staring me in the face at the supermarket and I thought o.k. gotta try it in honor of you :) Which is your favorite? I wasn't sure which to buy! But OH MY it was SO good!!! My youngest kept saying MINE! MINE! no, no sweetie, Mama's :)

Nicole- We like the dark only here :) They are good, aren't they. Wait till they go on sale and stock up!! That's what we do. We go through about 3-4 a week here. Insane, really. What's so funny about lounge pants? Tell me! I thought about calling them pajamas, but we don't sleep in them.

My brother and I have this strange humor with certain words, juvenile I know. You are absolutely correct in calling them lounge pants, For some reason when I hear that word I think of someone fancy sitting in a overstuffed arm chair smoking a pipe, it is such a snazzy word! It's great! I love it!
Posted by: Nicole | January 04, 2008 at 04:37 PM
Ha! Well, I do lots of pipe smoking in giant arm chairs, so it must be fate that I now have "lounge" pants! hehe :)
