All the beach glass that Claude had collected over the summer perched on the window sill above his bed. Sometimes, the sun would be at the perfect angle for it to shine through the multicolored collection projecting mad shapes all over his feet as he daydreamed in the afternoon. They were his thinking colors.

Tonal Tuesday: so many glass bottles

Yummy pretty-colored cookies. Sugar and a cute color palette? You’ve won my heart.

Tonal Tuesday: box of macarons

Holy guacamole! Spicy avocado deliciousness.

Tonal Tuesday: It's so spicy

Feeling soft and worn at the edges. Like good leather that breaks in and becomes more delightful and buttery and soft the more it’s used. Old paper ephemera and trinkets. Dried roses from our first anniversary. The sky is grey outside but it’s cozy and warm here in my heart and memory.

Tonal Tuesday: postcards from the past

Slice of Awesome, no. 21: the green machine

Tomorrow is Earth Day! In celebration of this, let’s go with some green-colored awesome today.

1. This DIY  for a pretty dang cool oilcloth storage bins. I want to make a billion of these. You could use them in the bathroom for qtips & toiletries. Organize makeup or jewelry or my nightmare of a sock drawer. I love compartments; this DIY is the perfect enabler.
2. “Bog In Mine Skull” Art Print by Graham Erwin (via OMG Posters). I love the crazy science robot frankestein henchman feel to this. Delightful!
3. This kickass little set up in particular from Paper n Stitch’s nice little green round up. The tree repurposed and given some industrial pendants and made into glorious lighting.
4. Adorable green eggs sugar cookies made in honor of Dr. Suess’s birthday from My Paper Crane. SO cute.
5. Fantastic green bicycle painting by Kris Atomic. The rendering seems almost tender; with warm fuzzy feelings toward the subject. It looks a bit like Dolores if Dolores were green. I would love to figure out if I can move my headlamp down like that to make room for a basket. Hrm…
6. Sheep! Elephantine‘s lovely daydream of Ireland.
7. Llamafont is amazing! The tiny illustrations are most excellent, though I am not quite sure how to use this in practical application. Oh silly me: it’s because llamas make everything better!
8. Shelby Dillon has been producing some wonderful work in her daily paintings.
9. Hee— I could not get over Gemma Correll‘s sweet German pug, lederhosen and all.
