buttons in Etsy

a lake in the middle of Central Park from my excursion last weekend.

New York was beautiful today. i couldn't stay inside for long. i took Puch out for a ride and ended up on Roosevelt Island, an island in the middle of the East River. there's a river walk that goes completely around the island, with views of Queens and Manhattan. directly underneath the Queensborough Bridge. so close i could see the rust on the steel beams of the bridge.

i was aching to get outside so badly that i forgot my camera.

i am ready to graduate to the next bicycle. i'm sorry to say it, but Puch is a bit too heavy and difficult to ride for me now, for the kind of riding i want to do. we're all in agreement then? good. maybe i can trade it for something a bit lighter. i wonder if the boys in Brooklyn would have something.

new earrings in Etsy!

all of a sudden i wanted to make jewelry.
a gal on Etsy had a little contest in her shoppe, and i won the cutest magnet!

tinaseamonster.etsy.com

it says, 'sometimes i worry about zombies'

so as a token of my gratitude, i sent her a pair of puzzle piece earrings. i only hope her ears are pierced.

i was inspired.
on the floor in my newly rearranged bedroom. i haven't wanted to leave it all evening. all nice and clean. the lady i'm subletting for is in town tomorrow, staying at our apartment. so i wanted my room [aka her room] to look nice.

a corner of my room, with my new chrome Target shelves. a gift from my gentleman friend. it was his suggestion to put my enormous yarn collection in my suitcase, which you can see to the right. genius.


tomorrow: rain. lots of rain.
