A field of Black Eyed Susans.

I'm glad that I can walk out the doors of my workplace and take a walk here when I need to. Every summer our park explodes with Black Eyed Susans and it's gorgeous.

Signs of summer.

Sunflowers and cats peeking out of open windows.


Currently: at my desk.

Playing with color.

Scrap Rug: 3.

You may remember that I started a braided scrap rug quite a while ago. I believe I disassembled and reassembled it a total of 3 times. It's currently rolled up in an un-finished state under the futon in our office. Let's just say the process was not nearly as easy or quick as it appeared to be 

About a month ago I figured out how to make a crochet rug that had a very similar look to it. I took all the remaining cut scraps that I had from the old rug and used them to start a new rug. I added other bits and pieces of fabric that I had, some old sheets, some linens I picked up from thrift stores for the wedding, and extra remnants from Christmas gifts this past year. It came together incredibly quickly. I'm just about finished with it and wanted to share some pictures. Bowie especially likes it.

Double exposure.


(I love happy camera accidents.)

On another note, two friends of mine from Indianapolis have started a really great radio show called The Standard Variety Hour. They describe it as "an hour long radio program that focuses on current/local events, miscellaneous happenings in the community as it relates to entertainment/politics/art/culture, and displays underground artists and musicians that aren't typically heard on mainstream radio." While I don't live anywhere that I can pick up the actual broadcast, I've listened to the fist two shows via podcast and I've really enjoyed it. I encourage anyone who loves discovering new music to have a listen. You can find it here:

I'm selling my first love on Craigslist:


I'm not happy about it, but it had to be done. E-mail me if you're interested.
