where has the time gone?  

it's already February!

I had today off- it felt so nice being able to do normal things around the house.

made some thangs to go around the house, did some laundry, vacummed, dusted my shelves...

.

all while listening to the smith's

it was great.

I made a garland.

And then I hung it above my bed.

folded ben's shirts.  stacked them all pretty- like.

JESSA from G I  R L S

It's hard to have a favorite.  But I do like Jessa.  And a bit of Shoshanna.

Who's your fave?

Eric Trine & Will Bryant.  Collab.

"Sharing ideas and jumping into each other’s processes is what it’s all about." : Will Bryant

Agreed.

I have a love for lawn chairs.

Speaking of-  I'm selling our two Cesca Chairs, if you are interested, please let me know!

I'm still working on Hella Haus' website.  It's a bit hard- I'm not so very good at these things- I think I rather just have some techy-savy friend set me up with something nice and clean, anyone want to volunteer??

.

We need to do some powder coating on our first strong piece and we are very excited about sharing it.  

.....

And we went out to Tiger Mountain to take our profile shots...it was FREEZING out.  

Doesn't look like it here, but it was.  trust..

oh, Happy President's Day.

JFK, you are still by far the better looking presidents of history.

"Things do not happen.  Things are made to happen."

yo!

hello, monday.

it's been a week.

still series #4

This is my new handbag.  Has a gold zipper.  It's classic.  Not classy.  Classic.  

And suits me well considering my pops is an electrician.

.

ben came home the other day and said, "babe, I got you a new clutch"  I was

surprised that he knew what a clutch even meant- he knows I'm not super heavy into

purses, or "handbags" so when I heard that, I was completely shocked.

He hands me this new Klein Bag and I immediately FELL IN LOVE.

He knows me so well.

.

Speaking of bags, I'm liking these sculptural lunch bags.

.

Gold Leather Brogues?  

I wonder if I can moonwalk in them.

Only, Marni.

...

New favorite Christmas movie?

Well, it's not exactly new, but check it-

Rare Exports

It's pretty terrific.

Oversized sewing thimbles.  Vito Nesta.

Table Light.  Iacoli & McAllister.

.

.

Seattle-based, Iacoli & McAllister are probably the first designers that I really felt have executed a

sharp design of these sophisticated, eventful chandelier-like lights, but now all of the sudden this type of

geometric lighting is hitting every design blog and not to mention, most of them are poorly designed.  

If I see any more of these, I'm going to go crazy.  And not in a good way. 

I need a bit more excitement.  It's like you eat too much of your favorite food and you can't eat anymore 

of it, or you'll get sick to your stomach.   same ordinary feeling.  

but this table light character.  he gets me going.  I want to draw a little face on it and watch 

it wobble walk around my living space.  and name it thub, or gabe.  

,

and diamonds?  what's up with diamonds?  why is Rihanna singing about diamonds?  

.

barf.

..

this can get bad, I should go now.  

Adios.

december 3

oh, hi.

it's monday.

i'm tired.

but i'm on this roll.  

i can't quit.

one still. everyday.

it's 10:39pm and it's cold in my studio.  i'm going to bed now.

the heavy rain woke me up last night a quarter to three...with our original window panels, i literally thought the rain was going to blow through those windows and shatter- broken glass.  good thing that wasn't the case.  

Yea.

I went to this amazing fabric dying workshop last Wednesday held by the girls 

at Kaleidoscope Vision in Capital Hill.  It was fun-  looking forward to more local workshops/activities like these.

destination: portland

my friends ali & mike are getting married next year.

them two are adorable.

from Minnesota.

and both lovely.

..

.

Yeah, say that out loud...Meeee-nehh-ssooodddaaa.

.

we made a girls trip to Portland this past weekend with Ali to 

try on some dresses and do girly things.  I'm so happy I went!  I love going dress shopping, 

especially with a friend who's getting married!

 the two dress shops 

we visited were the English Department & Sarah Seven.

..

.

I didn't have my camera with me at the English Department, but managed to take some photos on my iphone- who knows if you'd notice the difference. 

They carry crazy, lovely designers from Jenny Yoo to Ivy & Aster.

The dresses that Ali tried on were all very STUNNING.  she looked STUNNING!

I was reminiscing, for sure.

.

..

..

..

.

Stunning Ali.

 In love with hair pieces.

I would collect them if I could and decorate

my home with them, is that weird?

..

..

my good friend of mine, Blanca and I sitting inside of Sarah Seven's boutique.

(our Ali was inside the fitting room, while I was taking this photo-btw) !

 we got to stay at Hotel Monaco, downtown Portland.  

unbelievable.  I was blown away by the decor - utterly strange, but beautiful nonetheless.  

fancy and entirely unique.  they had a duck-legged lamp!  

cute little bronze waddle feet, I wanted to take him home with me. he'd fit really nice next to my sofa on top of our side table, we need a lamp there-  everytime I want to eat a snack and watch some TV, I get crumbs all over cause we have no available light there!  

okay, on another note- those bed sheets!  gnarly, right?  

I like them so much- I think because they remind me of my sweet VEGAS!   Did I just type, my sweet vegas?  uh, I guess I did.  

Okay!

Right?  The lights and such-  I don't know if I'd actually get them, but they are real-cool.

.

..

.

 .

And of course, all the shopping in Portland.  

raddddd.  

Brought back all sorts of goodies.  

I wish most of it was from Una.  because.  holy shit, 

I love the stuff they carry in their store.

 Ate at Screen Door for brunch, of course.

.

Now, back home in Seattle.

Back at it -  at work and loving every minute.

..

.

This girl was such a cutie- and into it like I've never seen before.

She had all these surprise poses that came with every flash in her 

little jazzercise dance-wear. 

bustin those moves out like it was nothing!  like a pro.

Did I mention she is 4½?  

Yeah.

4 years old. 

.

It made my work day-

Happy Monday.

28

just turned 28 recently.

it's a rad age, if you haven't tried it.  you should.  I'm 4 days into it and I'm feeling like a superstar.

.

..

 

I FINALLY set up my itty bitty still life studio downstairs-  it's an incredibly small space to be taking pictures, but it works. 

for now, at least.

.

..

 Just recently got my haircut.  and dyed darker.  

This is my mom to the right.  Taken in the 70's, somewhere near Queens, New York.

 she is my inspiration for my haircut. 

And, this is me and my guy.

28 really makes you feel like a superstar ..

thanks, willy.

What about that Felix fella?

...

This moonball is clever.

,

...

I have this obsession with balloons, balls, rounded, spherical objects and things.  

It's kind of all over my brain right now.  Yours?

.

okee.

good night, Monday.

See you later, Tuesday.
