Baby heads

Pam,
That made me laugh - just thinking about Baby heads:) Super cute hat by the way!

Image borrowed from here.

After running the Grand Targhee Marathon this summer - my friend commented on the course and said "It was like running on baby heads." I stopped and stared for a bit and thought ... what the hell? - he meant that the cobbles on the trail were the size of baby heads. Perfect explanation for their size. Too funny...
Miss you,
K

What is the size of a baby's head?

I tried to make my own hat for a baby and this is what I came up with... I think its too small!!!!

A New Frontier

Hello my Dear Friend Karen

Ok, first thing: I did not know you were terrorized by birds. Funny that. I think they are strange and wonder how is that we are all life in such different forms..right this is cheesy? A Grosbeak actually landed on my shovel this summer while I was standing next to a pond at someone's property out of town. Then, just as the bird landed on my shovel as I was holding it casually: a couple deer popped out of the woods on the border of the yard and I thought "Holy crap am I Snow White?" Anyways, I will agree with you on the new classification for Owls :)



I am so glad you liked the print and gloves! It is raining here today and I love it! I am happy to have a break from the sun. I know, that sounds ridiculous because the rest of the country is preparing for winter. Rainy days are great for staying inside to study and sew ...

I am so excited you have a sewing machine! We really do need to plan another crafty vacation/visit! You must absolutely check out the sewing book called "Sewing Green". I love love love it. I can totally see you in the leave scarf on the front. I made the baby quilt inside and am making some baby hats for Beth/Jan and my cousin. I am using the wavy fabric for the hats and found this fucking great fabric for some small clutch/purses !! The water holder, tree door jam and skirts patterns are also GREAT!



This craft fair is coming soon and I am SO EXCITED! I do wish we could go together!--Unique LA Craft Fair. I am also going to walk this Fun Run in Venice Beach/Santa Monica. I have been feeling isolated so I decided I can do things like this and volunteer.It will be fun also because my friend Ann Marie(from Montana!) will be working down here for a couple weeks and we can do it together:)And, I can't lie, I really want the t-shirt. Haven't located the volunteering opp. yet, but am working on it!

And finally, I would love to share with you the invites I designed for my friends wedding!

Owls aren't birds

Eggs over my Pammy,

Thank you for the birthday cheer. You are MAKING me something?! I cannot wait. I feel so loved that you shared so many nice things with me in Cali. I am looking for the right frame to hang the bicycle print. I love it. I ate the fingers on the plane on the way home oohhhaahhhaa (insert evil laugh). I have not worn my new mittens yet but winter is almost here. I awoke to the best birthday gift of all - a fresh coating of snow:)

The link you posted was to a bird site and I thought, why is Pam sending me here - birds? I really am not all that into birds. They kind of freak me out. Why are they SO light? I know, really, I took an avian biology course back in the day - tough semester filled will horrible dreams of birds flying into my bedroom with no feathers... Another story for another day... This got me thinking, owls are technically birds, however, I am unwilling to accept this as fact so from now on, I will consider owls as their own ... class? phylum? group. I love the owl on the block of wood - we could make that.

I do, however, like this magnet from that site.

This one too.

I like this site and this print (on the left) in particular.

I wonder if I put this up in the house if I would DO more - be more proactive when I need a little shake up...

Anyho, I am getting a new sewing machine for my birthday - Rob ordered it for me and it should arrive any day. You will need to come here so we can craft together. I think my first project will be a simple A-line skirt that I have been WANTING to make forever. I have the fabric already, it is super cute - nested dolls on solid black. 

Here is that site I told you about - with the amazing Halloween Party Decor. 

Heh heh. Miss you!

Happy Birthday to YOU

Hi Karen! Happy Happy Birthday!!! I apologize for my delay with posting, but hopefully my virtual joyous celebrating of your joyous day of being born will make up for it :)

It was SO great to see you and Rob. I had forgotten how much of a secret cynic Rob is, and I love it! He said "You now, I just don't like people that much". I am so glad we were able to spend some time together and I just hope I can convince you to come down for another visit because there are a lot of funky flipping things I know you would like as I do!!

Ok, so, when I saw the deer I had that reaction-you know the one that goes like this: OMG they are soo f**cking cute. I want to eat them they are so f**cking cute I'm going to die. I think I especially like the representation of the deer's love for the shoe.

I have some groovy sites I need to share,this is one I can think of right now:

but for now I will share this random collection of Owls Pics I have collected over time as inspiration for, well I dont know what for, but for something inspired and crafty. It comes in waves and currently I am kind of obsessed with sewing-but I can't tell you what I am sewing until I am done...
