My latest knit accessories

In the last couple weeks, I've made 4 new accessories! One I've decided to do a little more work on...that one is VERY different. You'll just have to wait to see it ;) As for the other three...We had a photo shoot today!! I love taking photos :) Well, I prefer to be behind the camera, so this time I got a friend to model one of my cowls :D She did a great job! And I got to spend a while today editing photos, which I just love to do.

What do you think of my new products?

Isn't she adorable?!

I think the white one is my favorite. I love that it rolls to be whatever height you want! Which do you like best?

Texas

I'm Texan. As most of us say, I'm proud to be Texan. Of course, sometimes Texas pride gets a little ridiculous, but right now I'm just loving Texas culture. I love the lights and the murals, the cowboy boots and country music, the down-home-cooking and the old-fashioned manners.

Sometimes I wish I did ride a horse to school and only take off my cowboy hat to pray.
...But new Texas is pretty cool too ;)

Bye Bye Bus?

We hope not. Alex first laid eyes on this beauty 3 years ago. I named her "Tweeks" because the mechanic kept saying "two weeks" until he finally got her running three months later (and she always needs tweaking). We love her.

We love camping with her.

We love taking her on joy rides.

But, unfortunately, last week she died. We're not sure yet what's wrong, but it's likely we won't be able to afford to fix her this time. Don't worry, we won't let her go to a junk yard. But we may not be able to keep her. It's a sad day.

In tribute to Tweeks, I offer this.

Tweeks, you're in my heart. For our sake, won't you please get better?

a room, a box, and a book

Happy New Year!

(This post has nothing to do with that though.)

Here are some things I found today that amaze me...

A Mario room designed as an art installation by Antoinette J. Citizen.
Alex and I have decided that our child's room will look like this. We'll make the question mark boxes light up though ^_^ Blik sells decals for Super Mario Bros, new Super Mario Bros, and Donkey Kong :)

The Shit Box (please excuse my French) by The Brown Corporation - a lightweight portable cardboard toilet. It's completely degradable! Pretty amazing, right?

And I got this book today at Book People. I passed up two other books on my list to get it, so you know it's good. I like that instead of a how-to (which the other two were) it simply shows great design that's out there. Inspiring :-)
