Long time no write

March 2nd, 2009

Sofie had pneumonia last week, and was in the hospital for 3 days. I had stomach flu.

I now have bronchitis.

I feel like crap.

Sofie’s greatly improved… a bit raspy, but otherwise playful.

We started watching Pirates of Penzance Sunday. She seemed especially smitten by Kevin Kline.

My sister, Elysia, is flying into town this Wednesday. Wants to nail down some details for her wedding here in May.

She’s repeatedly tried calling Bella Dolce to arrange for a cake, but no answer. Anyone know what that’s about?

Okay. Time for me to make some tea. Just wanted to pass forward this awesomeness that George shared.

I’ll be back soon to write. I have lots to say. :)

Enjoy!

Matryoshka + Japanese = cuteness

January 15th, 2009

How fabulous is this Matryoshka Cafe Curtain print?! But wait… there’s more fabulousness with this item:

The ready-made cafe curtain is one of those brilliant exports from Japan. These have a white, screen printed scalloped border along each edge, and pre-cut holes for curtain rods. Simply trim the excess fabric along the scallops, hem the sides to the appropriate width (or just finish with some bias tape!), and you have ready to hang curtains! The screen print ink will keep the fabric from fraying along the scallops and curtain rod loops, minimizing the prep work - ingenious!

Ingenious, indeed!

Available at SuperBuzzy, home of “Japanese fabrics, notions, fun craft supplies, and other cute stuff.” Thanks to Junior Society for bringing this into my world. SuperBuzzy’s website was recently redesigned by Meomi, of whom I am a long time fan and tshirt-wearer.

AND… SuperBuzzy is apparently located just down the way from me in Ventura!

Are you interested in seeing everything in person? We don’t have a retail location, but we love walk-in warehouse visitors! Please email or give us a call to set up a time in advance so that we don’t miss you!

Definitely a visit will be occurring in my near future.
