The Drawing Board This is the logo for a project I’m working with. I am so thrilled to be a part of such an exciting and worthy cause! I’ll tell you about it more some other time…Anyway, I want to show you a partial process of all the crazy mental doodling that manifests itself when…

Bowling pin shelves and dissonance
I have a truly remarkable and multi-talented roommate. First of all, Matt was invited to sing at a professional choir here in Denver by the music director of the church choir that he also sings in. On the day that Matt had his first, three-hour choir audition/rehearsal he also painted and built this bowling pin…
Hello little printer
I think you’ll enjoy this:
Zenith R521F radio
Like my little radio I picked up at a thrift store in Omaha? I think it’s pretttttyy cute! Right now I have him tuned to an oldies station because I think that’s what the little champ is used to (that, and he only has AM radio). I can’t wait to put him in my apartment!…
Stories to tell, stories to live
Almost didn’t make it, did I? But huzzah! A movie! Last Saturday I went up to see Mr. Ira Glass, as you all know. He was simply lovely. I can’t imagine being excited about an actor/actress or band, but I was completely in awe of Ira. That’s me. His lecture, like this video, talked about…
Halloweekend
How many posts about this are you going to see? Probably a ton. Here’s the costume I made at the last moment, but who am I kidding: I really liked it. I already had my obnoxious gingham dress and so, inspired my costume last year, I made my own riding hood Saturday morning. And thanks,…
Keepin’ it relevant
A part of me always thought that once I graduated and was out of school I would have all the time in the world to pursue my hobbies. Books would be read, scarves would be knitted, hats & mittens crocheted, blogs posts would be published….everything could be mine once I came home at 5 o’clock.…
Old chair, new chair
Matt and I were super productive today. It’s when two metal types hang out together. I was on a mission to find an guest chair for my office and a shelf. So first we hit up some thrift stores (actually, a lot of thrift, antique, and vintage stores). We scored these wooden chairs for an…
Best by 1991
Last Sunday I was making homemade pancakes for Susan and myself and I needed some baking powder. Standing on a chair and reaching all the way back into the cabinet above the microwave, I found this can of Calumet baking powder. Calument? I’ve never heard of this brand. I figured it was some weird hyper-organic-supa-fresh…
Liberty Vintage Motorcycles video
You might not be into motorcycles, but still something about this video appeals to me. I think it’s a combination of my love of vintage things and some of the books I’ve been talking about or reading lately (Tom Wolfe, Hunter S. Thompson, and, yes, even David Sedaris).
