the month of may

was incredibly packed! I think I stayed at my apartment for maybe one weekend the whole month and of course that was a the weekend an incredible opening happened at the Schnitzer for a really cool show... pisser. That's another story for another day, but if you are in Eugene and like polaroids and sparkly shoes you should go...

an experiment in making workout clothing...



A gift for a certain someone...


Pillowcases! They turned out pretty cool, but required a lot of patience. I found nice, but badly sewn pillowcases at ross, ripped out the stitching, recut and ironed them, found backing to do embroidery on the machine and by hand. The wash away backing and I had a tug o war and I recommend hand rinsing the stuff out before putting in the washing machine. it's pretty gooey, but kept things stable while stitching. After little lessons learned I loved this gift idea and I think he liked them too. And yes those are my attempt at making outlines of ginkgos... they look at little bit like odd hearts, but I like them and curtis always tends to get a kick out of me yelling out "Ginkgo! look!" every time we walk or drive past one.




So of course we made pizza & had beer. His apartment is nice and warm from all of the exposed windows so the dough poofs up really well.


And visited my photobooth

has it really been 5 years already? <3

five years! That's awesome, congrats.

They TOTALLY LOOK LIKE GINKGOES!! sooo awesome, I love them!! And I do the exact same thing, I still point out each & every ginkgo tree! haha. I am buying one this weekend and am plotting where to plant it, those things get big, fast!

I have yet to go to the Polaroid show, thankfully it's there til September as I am sure I won't make it for a few more weeks still!

the best part? i didn't have an real ginkgo's handy so i used your calendar to trace them out :D Those do grow really fast. I was trying to convince my parents to plant one in their yard, but we realized it would take over much of our sunny space for growing plants. But this way you will have an endless supply of leaves!

The show is incredible! If you can get there before the end of June there is this really cool exhibit set up with tvs. There are also photographs by weegee the famous!

I am sooo excited to have a ginkgo! But yes, I do need to figure out where to put it ...
