Friday5: week 38
I felt like a little watermelon this week. Love my green coat that I got for christmas and finally liking my modes of dress again. Maybe I’ll start up on wardrobe_remix again? The dead of february always makes me want to crawl under my covers and wake up when it’s spring. I’ll just trick myself with color palettes & silly faces. HOLY SCHNIKES. Change is afoot. Also, husband’s all up in my business. <3 Happy Friday, loves! May your weekend be exactly what you need.
Random cross-country flights to places that winter is a foreign concept. Also: seeing my bare ankles for the first time in almost 5 months.
Truly helpful & awesome airline employees (Coley @ John Wayne for United was my hero on Sunday)!
Who Whut? Cafe on Chicago Avenue at Franklin. Their caprese panini is divine. Om nom nom.
Early-birdie spring cleaning. Part of me is hoping that if I get a jump start on this now that it will magically induce spring in Chicago. Think it will work?
Fresh yarn. Mmmmmm.
The XX: Yes, I know they’re like indie darlings from more than 15 minutes ago but hot damn, I’m a slow starter when it comes to music. Delightful noise in my ears.
Trying to drum up a few more freelance clients—because I certainly do not have enough to do, right?
Yeasayer: Ambling Alp. This song makes me chair dance.
Friday5: week 37
Tee Hee, sneaky husband in Monday’s photo. & he says he’s never in them. HA! With press days being on Wednesday, it always feels like a Friday. And Thursday always feels like a Monday. I love the altered sense of time that Publishing has given me. Welp. I’m off for a weekend in California—after work of course. Vroom vroom. Goodbye snow! Sucka. Happy Friday everyone! What are your big plans for the weekend?
This week I’m dropping love bombs on the following:
My cranes! While I don’t love the cold that this particular draft brings, I do love that my cranes (which are for sale in the shop) are always dancing. Makes me miss installation art in a big way.
My camera & using the video mode as illustrated above.
Knitknitknitting away. Cruisin’ on some items for the shop (which I won’t be putting up until the fall—sorry!) and some baby gifts for friends’ who are expecting!
Starting an inspiration folder on Flickr. It’s a private album, just for me of beautiful images I discover.
My very first tutorial—there are definitely more to come. AND apparently, Paper Source (one of my favorite companies—I could go crazy in their stores!) offers a ready-made Quotation Dry Erase Board one if you’re one of those instant gratification sorts.
