see jane[s] work
the famous bug was here last week. i was so happy to have her around. i feel kind of bad as i was buried under a big old pile of stuff i had to get done. but being ever so accommodating miss gwen went with the flow. i feel very very lucky to have such a friend - it's not every day that someone says - i just want to be with you. so whatever you need to do, we'll do. and it's not every day that i feel comfortable allowing someone into my space like that.
gwen is a pretty special gal.
we sewed :: we graded :: we had dueling laptops on my dining room table :: she knitted :: she sewed :: i sewed :: we chatted :: we ate :: we had tiki drinks :: we met up with lisa c and diana . she had the brilliant idea to use my tanks on some skirts....
you can see those and read gwen's take on our adventures over here
we didn't just work. we did play [otherwise we'd be dull girls].
i took her to the secret button store. i was only supposed to look as i have buttons from my last visit there i still haven't used, but alas. i succumbed to temptation. i think the blue ones will make a necklace and the bakelite orange ones will become pins....
we also went to heath . i think i'm the official bring everyone from out of town to heath wagon. the lady in the store even recognized me from the visit with amy!
above is a shot of their colorway chips and a wall of their plates. i can't say enough about how good their aesthetic is. so good that they carry miss sally's cards!
gwen - come back - anytime...
::::::::::::::::::::::
i'm kind of in a bah humbug kind of mood. no decorations this year. just can't fathom it. i have one more big stack of grading and a few more holiday cards/treats to get out. and the big push for my nashville show. almost almost almost. i've had no time for posting here, movies, flickr, reading [barely getting to blogs], real shopping, taking photos [i miss this so much], or.... but i'm letting it all go. there's only so much a single human can do, right?
i do feel like i can see the light at the end of the tunnel if i squint. yup. there it is.
ok - off i go to tackle my lists. type more soon.....

so glad you got some time with gwen!!
xo
Just being with someone sounds like relaxed joy :)
thinking about you in the final push. and so glad you had a great visit with gwen. sounds like such a good good time. xoxo
i hope your graded passes fast so you can have some time for doing WHATEVER YOU FEEL LIKE, yeah baby!
i wish that for all of us. i was feeling pretty bah humbug too, till the frost came and i could feel my christmas spirit stir a little, enough to get my camera out actually, not that i've uploaded any pics yet, but it felt good to finally take the thing out for 20 minutes - a real treat in these crazy days.
be well sweet lisa, you sparkle like frost in the sunlight. ox
i know what you mean about the bah humbug thing. we did manage to put up a handmade tree in order to TRY to get in the spirit, but it's just not happening. we move the day after christmas so i think that has a lot to do with it.
i'm glad you and gwen had a great time. she is such a gem, i just love reading her blog. hope you guys can meetup again sooooon!
happy holidays, don't forget to RELAX.
and hope
you are getting
close to
done...
it means
a lot to me
that you
were willing
to share
the little time
you had
with me...
xoxox
ps it's weird
to see oneself
from the back!
Next time I'm in town we'll have to visit Heath together...I could spend all day looking at their beautiful tiles.
Merry Christmas, Lisa!!!
xoxo.
there´s a light at the end of the tunnel hopefully soon :)
And i really think you deserve some time out...thaks for those peeks in xx
