Friday5: week 56 Technical difficulties kept me from posting this until now. Faces! They are mine! Yargh! Happy Saturday!

 

Whee! Good morning, Friday! Flip-flopping posts today. 4×6 for you now and Friday5 for you later.

What’s floatin’ my love boat this week?

• Tiny containers: this is an attempt to be more organized as we unpack. My goal is to be settled and ready for a housewarming party when my bff visits at the end of September.
• Husband surprises: doing a huge ton of chores around the house; we have both been avoiding chores as of late but this has definitely helped jumpstart our quest for a cozy home.
• Career Comfort. Feeling like I am finding my stride at work. You know when you start a new job how it takes like 3 months to get settled in? Well, I finally hit that and it feels pretty good.
• Writing it down. Using a sketch book to sketch/write/list ideas. Trying to plot out my next moves and figure out where exactly rottencupcakes is going. I’ve been drafting a lot of plans and ideas and posing a lot of questions to myself about the blog and it’s direction. I’ll probably be putting a reader survey up and would love to get some feedback from you! What do you want? Who are you? Is it horrible for me to admit that I have no idea what I am doing? And that’s kind of scary?
• Leetle bits: The used bookstore having awesome things for super cheap. Green grapes. The Japanese market. The bowls I found at the Japanese Market (ktys & minkeys!). Surprise presents from my seester (tiny buddha, kitty card, cupcake picture holder, chicago transit map mug=SWOON. Seriously, Emily, I think this is one of the best presents I have ever received!). Finally buying a Trikky (a Kid Robot vinyl diy toy)—but leaving it white. Stripes. Lipstick. My wonderful friend continuing to explore her photography.

What’s keepin’ your chin up this week?

A note about the pre-season sale: it will be ending this Friday, the 13th! So if you haven’t pre-ordered yet and plan to—time is of the essence! I will be taking them down in order to prepare more for the 2010 season! <3

Friday5: week 55
I didn’t get a chance to do this post this morning but I wanted to start the weekend off right with a proper goodbye. Wish you all most excellent weekends! Happy Friday! <3

 

 

Non, je ne regrette rien.

What do I love this week?

• Going to the beach an building sand castles
• Watercoloring.
• Home-made banana milkshakes
• Every box I unpack makes the apartment a teeny bit more like home (yes, I am still unpacking).
• This article from Design Observer about Publishing in the Age of the Internet. It talks about the super-abundance of visual information we are digesting with the help of the internet and how it effects print.
• The new StopMotion Recorder I downloaded to my iPhone. It is super awesome, easy to use and I am having lots of fun with it!
