July is over. What a fun month. There were fireworks, rooftops, and friends. It was hot–super hot–but the weather seems to have chilled out for now. The top-viewed posts in July were: boy’s life by robert mccammon. One of the best books I’ve read this year. rocket, my screen-printed bike. Don’t you want a bikeContinue reading “month in review: july”

saga: white outfit inspiration
I just read a graphic novel for the first time. It’s called Saga, vol. 1, by Brian K. Vaughan. It was cool! Ever the speed reader, I had to remind myself to not just read the text, but to really take a look at the images. It’s kind of a love, adventure, space travel, warContinue reading “saga: white outfit inspiration”
rooftops and new skirts
I had a lovely weekend. A great friend came into town, I ate a lot of really good food, and I spent an inordinate amount of time on rooftops. This particular rooftop view is from the top of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In the summer, they open the roof for drinks and sculpture onContinue reading “rooftops and new skirts”
the cuckoo’s calling part 2
We enter part 2 of The Cuckoo’s Calling (Kindle here, my thoughts on part 1 here) to follow our heroes while they gather more clues. I actually feel more like I am in the board game clue than in a story. If security guard was in the wash room, and the boyfriend at the club,Continue reading “the cuckoo’s calling part 2”
rocket, my screen-printed bike
“Seems to me,” the Lady said, “a boy’s bicycle needs to see where it’s goin’. Needs to see whether there’s a clear road or trouble ahead. Seems to me a boy’s bicycle needs some horse in it, and some deer, and maybe even a touch of reptile. For cleverness, don’t you know?” In Boy’s LifeContinue reading “rocket, my screen-printed bike”
project life: beach vacation
More project life! This time from our wonderful family vacation. #fatcat definitely likes the pages. We had so much fun on vacation and there was no way I could include all the pictures. I chose some that I thought kept it beachy and relaxing–just like our trip.
hot hot hot
What do you do when it’s this hot outside and you need to look professional at work but your commute includes walking in the sun and riding on hot trains? Well, start with the bare minimum: a sleeveless dress and sandals. Once you get to work, replace your sandals with some heels and add aContinue reading “hot hot hot”
the cuckoo’s calling part 1
It is a not so secret desire of mine to become a police detective. It is my back up plan, my alternate universe career, and the subject of quite a few daydreams. I can’t stop watching cop shows or reading murder mysteries. (And yeah, I know that’s not exactly how it works in real life.)Continue reading “the cuckoo’s calling part 1”
project life: may
It’s been a very busy summer. A wonderful, fun-filled, busy summer. I’m a little behind on project life, but these are the pages I made from a weekend trip in May. This was to celebrate my best friend Jewels‘ upcoming wedding. We had so much fun. There was so much more I could have included,Continue reading “project life: may”
miss blue glass and miss green glass
In Boy’s Life, which I totally loved, two sisters named Sonia and Katherina Glass were almost perfect mirror images of each other–except one always wore blue and the other green. Now that is style. They adopted a uniform, dressed as themselves, and went with it. Plus monochrome can really be a great look. I don’tContinue reading “miss blue glass and miss green glass”
