Computer was in for repair this weekend. So sad! It was a bit nice not being tied to it though. I found these adroable eggplant at a fruit stand by my house. Dan and I grilled out a HUGE batch of veggies this weekend including my cutie eggplants. They tasted so freakin' good.

New Tape

Ohh how I loved mixed tapes growing up. As mix Cd is great too but there is something so nostalgic about a mix tape. Nick Hornby hits on the phenomenon of mix tapes in High Fidelity. I am so excited I so this on Flor's blog.

Open House

I am going to have an open house at the end of the month to sell my embroidered specialties (makes them sound fancy) and Envirosax (look above at my 2 new fav's)..Ohh I lurve them. They roll up super small and I put them in my purse and I am trying to carry them all of the time.

The lady at Albertsons wanted to buy mine this morning. My mom got a 20 cent credit for each Envirosax she used instead of using the bag from the store this weekend. Go green and save some green. God know we can all afford to save some money lately..

Shhhhhh!!! It's a swap surprise

This is for a swap I am doing with sew-sew-a-go-go. Her daughter is Madison and is 3 almost 4....She likes pink and is into skeletons right now...I found this pic on flickr and modified it a bit but it turned out cute. I love the girl skull. I am debating whether or not to put her name on it...

I am working on all sorts of stuff. Pics will be posted this week!

Reality and Dreaming.........

I was writing a response to someone and talking about school at the Academy of Art recently. I forgot how much I loved going here and some of the great people I met.I only talk to 2 or three people from SF. One of them is my friend Nicole who lives in Chicago and Jakey Ryan who resides in LA currently. I attended the Academy in the summer of 2002 as soon as I had graduated from grad school. Grad school is something I shall talk about another time.

I was so fortunate to be able to experience this school and I think it was probably the best school experience I have ever had and maybe the first time I felt like I actually was the the right place....

In my opinion, San Fran is one of the most accepting places I have ever traveled to. I totally loved the fact that anything goes there.
