Ladyplanter
My mom gave me this sweet little teapot several years ago. I love it, however the steam would scorch the curved handle making it impossible to use as intended. Now she's home to my prayer plant that's on its revival tour (poor thing was down to one leaf this past winter!). I hope both will flourish in their new functions.
Revamped.
The lid to my loose powder was cracked so rather than buy a new one to refill I worked with what I have: E6000 glue, pink seed beads, and a delightfully terrifying robotic dinosaur. rAWrrrr!

MEOW
This foto'd stencil is dedicated to Brian for going where few dare to adventure. Thanks for dodging sea worms, getting damp feet, and giving your precious time to capturing graffiti in Dublin Bay! Despite the piles of worms blocking your way to this castle of decay this is the best thing I've seen come out of Ireland and one of my favorite presents. You deserved a break from those school books. I love you!

Our Little Ponies
Hasbro sells blank My Little Ponies for a mere $5 a pop. Brandon got us a few for my birthday but only recently have we dove in. Mine is going to be a bee with a bouffant. It is tradition to have pizza while working on our little ones. ...now you know where Ponies and Pizza got its name!

.Be[e] Mine.

I got my Valentine's gift today! Stupid snow made the mail move all slow, like in pony 'express' days. He planned it so that it would arrive exactly on time, which earned him points for thoughtfulness in that timely sorta way. I adore that he remembered the day at all, but it melted me that he also saw it for the cutesy heart-holiday it can be if you choose to make it such. This was my first present from Brandon, material-wise. Having him in my life first as a friend and now my love is the biggest gift of all and always will be. When I think of him I glow. My heart lights up from within - it's a precious feeling. So here it is, he got me a bee bracelet because I called him 'Bee' even before I knew of his childhood adventures with them; my sweetheart name for him. A bracelet so I can look down at my wrist and be reminded that he's thinking of and loving me every moment. It's perfect, and after a test run I can say that it works, too!
My trip to Memphis is coming up soon. I'm so excited and yet...sad. It will be so beautiful to hold him and fall deeply into his ever-changing shades of eyes. In fact I'll be quite content to look into them the rest of my life. He has the kindest heart, the warmest voice, and is super nerdy-smart. Score across the board. He's also the most handsome man I could ever imagine. I love that we fit like two lost peas finding our pod. SO happy.

.tonight i met coraline.
She's sat quietly on my bookshelf after an absorbing read or two after Neil Gaiman put his words into the world and Dave decorated the cover. I generally purchase anything by that duo instantly.
"Coraline" was fantastical and when I heard she was going to turn into a movie I didn't hold my breath (those who have passed out while holding onto rumors of "Death" understand).
But tonight she became real.
Thanks, Henry Selick. I always knew you were magical.
3D was completely the way to go...I'm glad my friend from work and her boyfriend insisted then dragged me out into the big, scary world. I might have missed this.
So beautiful.

.pitiful fog at rose city vet hospital.

This time up: Fog had tapeworms from eating fleas off of Lily while grooming her. EWWWwwww. I could have caught and sold them since they're a trendy dieting rage, but instead I took him in to get medication. Everyone there wanted his soft Wonder Woman cat carrier - everyone, but Fog. He also hated his medication. Here, he's trying to sink into the examining table so nobody would notice him.

.staying alive on the west coast.
Photography is poetry in motion
When the lens touches my eye
I am not here
They are not there
My heels click and the rubies sparkle
A tear might drip to the concrete below
But with a pinch
And with a breath
...breathe...
I am still here
In motion
Creating poetry
When the lens touches my eye
I am not here
They are not there
My heels click and the rubies sparkle
A tear might drip to the concrete below
But with a pinch
And with a breath
...breathe...
I am still here
In motion
