Nude Dressed


I'm all over the idea of the muted tones for Spring. Unfortunately, this dress at Urban Outfitters was not in my size... GRRRR

What Fruit is This?


It certainly is gorgeous. It looks like a fruit Anthropology would sell in wire baskets.

Inspired Cover Art


Don't know if the book will be good... but I like the design.

Cookbook Creation




Ideas Coming Together

When I started this --- or, rather, RE-started this, I was inspired by a few design blogs. Now I'm overwhelmed (and excited) by the zillions of creative blogs I'm finding. I'm starting to get so inspired to do some artwork and even post it. Who knows....


This image reminded me of an idea I had a while ago... so here it is to keep reminding me. PS: The art is by Thereza Rowe and another place to find interesting artwork is: Artists Who Blog

A New(ish) Way to Shop

I know this idea isn't new - but I think it's so smart. A lovely French woman takes you thru seven days of her wardrobe. Meanwhile, a sidebar gives you little shopping links to similar garments to the Mmes.

Throwback and Go Forward - Gorgeous Motorcycles

Motorcycles are a no no in this household... but I love the look of an old Triumph. These bikes are new --- but they harken back to a time of no obnoxious colors or logos... Simple is better.

Glitter Paintings


This kind of makes me laugh - the glitter painting craft project in the MS November issue centers around MS's cat, Vivaldi. Please shoot me if I do a glitter painting of my cat.... I mean, I suppose a slightly abstract version wouldn't be bad---but not a glamour portrait.  In any case, this goldfish version sparked my imagination. Putting this in for later inspiration.

Friends in Frames

Jeff has been wanting to get pics of our friends and fam on the wall. I'm slow to respond, but a sale on cool frames at West Elm might be the jump start I need. Just have to figure out where to put them!
