the owls are not what they seem.

the owls are not what they seem

gift number 2 = finished!

the owl transfer i used is from sublime stitching.  
the awesome faux bois hoop is from michaels.
it took about a week, but i didn't really a big block of time to just stitch away.

i'm pretty sure the recipient doesn't read my blog but he's really into twin peaks and "the owls are not what they seem" is a clue THE GIANT gives to Agent Cooper.  researching twin peaks got me sort of intrested in the show, i've only watched a handful of episodes though.  so don't give anything away in the comments :-)

so that leaves like 5 more gifts to make, at least.  

what are YOU working on??????

MY FAMILY AND OTHER ANIMALS.

it seems like everyone in blogland has already watched this movie or read the book.
i finally got a chance to watch it tonight.  it's was adorable and soooooo very nice to look at.  the whole movie could be a spread in french vogue.  i swear.  don't take my word for it, go watch it.

blank.

i'm trying to post everyday this month.

trees.

i wear this one hat everyday, and people always compliment it.  i made it out of cheap-o homespun years ago.  i always direct people to my shop if they say they like it.  but, i don't have any for sale.  i guess i should whip some up.

I'm waiting for the water to boil.  I'm making baked macaroni and cheese.

it rained all day, but i kinda like when it rains.  maybe b/c i'm a scorpio?
