NYC bound

Off to NYC for work.  Hoping to squeeze in a few fun things!  

[three potato four]

This week...

There will be some of this with MCB.

And hopefully lots of this.

Then a little of this.

And hopefully a lot more of that.

Oh - and hopefully my computer will get fixed. We will see. And then I can post while I am away. Woop.

Friday Faves

As you go about your weekend - remember this.

Yeah, Yeah - reverse image. So lame that I cannot fix this. I am on my work computer - which does not have photo shop. I also do not have my camera. So, this was taken with my web cam in my office and I cannot figure out how to "flip" this image so it reads correctly - c'est la vie. Anyway, I am loving all of my new tape...some purchased in SF recently & more brought home for me unexpectedly from Paris (thanks BK). I made little thank you cards using them - such fun!

Digging these new pendant lights from (of all places) IKEA. I love the way the light seems to get diffused - soft, warm. And, only $8 for the shade...sold.

This little lovely I received as a birthday gift this year. I absolutely adore this radio and the sound is killer. We only have one radio station here in Telluride, but now that I have received this puppy - I have been listening to it non-stop no matter what they are playing.

This is the only "white" I would like to see right now. Instead, we are getting hammered with more snow. Hurry Spring!

Sigh. My computer remains broken - I need to see if I can find a way to get it fixed. Of course, I hope I don't have to replace it as I really don't have the money to spend on a new laptop. In the meantime, my roommate got an iPad. It is awesome. And now, I am thinking if I have to replace my computer - why not just get one of these? I mean, do I really need a full computer at home if I have one at work? It would save me some money. Let's discuss.

And finally, a potential new project? Details to come (when they happen).

Portland revisited...

Over Spring Break I went to visit Portland - I had not been in 10 years or more.  

So much cuteness, good eats and drinks, and fun friends.  

Here is a quick run down of a few spots I visited that you should check out.

Crafting/Shopping: 

Bolt

Close Knit Yarn Shop

Lark Press Letterpress Printing 

 

  Queen Bee Creations

 Eats/Drinks:

Pine Street Biscuits 

 

Por Que No Taqueria

Liberty Glass 

Rugs Bug.

I am at a loss to find a rug that I am really jazzed about for the babe's room...The two above are ok, and would both work, but realistically should I just go with a natural fiber and call it done?

Yes it is

This weekend....

...is going to be a busy and hot one (95 degrees!!).  First up - Chess Fest at Hotel Congress.  Some Crafternoon folks will be helping at the kids craft table.  

Check out the beautiful poster by Dennis. 

Love the Through the Looking Glass theme  

(ps. Cathy do you see the Lion & Unicorn?)

 Next up - a wedding of friends on Saturday at the Tubac Golf Resort and Spa. 

It will be a lovely celebration of a couple that has been together for ~20 years!  Wow.

I embroidered this as part of their wedding gift.   

Finally, on Sunday I am super excited that we will be having Crafternoon at the C.O. Brown House which has been the home for Crafted for the past few months in Tucson.  We will be crafting at their lovely courtyard - and best part- we can BYOB.  Cooler is ready to go. 

 

 Happy April Friends!
