so, yesterday, i woke up with a headache, took a mild pill for said headache, took a shower, had some coffee, slept all day. all. day. i woke up with a headache again today, although it doesn’t seem as bad as friday. i lead such an exciting life. i really really do. i get so mad at myself when i can’t get out of bed. it is such a strange thing.
when i finally woke up at 8 pm, i think, we watched the kingdom of heaven with orlando bloom, etc, which was not bad, if really long. it was on hbo or something. liam neeson and jeremy irons were in it, so that is something.
i am doing a couple of trades that i am excited about…one is with poppy who contacted me (isn’t that always so flattering?) and i am getting a cool necklace and a pink and green stained glass business card holder. wooot!
i have been drooling over diana’s gorgeous ceramics. i have degrees in clay sculpture and had so much fun doing the work for it. my hands know what to do and i really never even got frustrated (except when i threw pots, etc, rather than working on sculpture) somehow. i am inspired to take my alma mater up on the cheapo studio fee they charge to use their stuff. i can mix my own clay there for next to nothing, as well. a garbage can full of my own favorite mix of clay. mmmmm. her work is gorgeous and i am hoping to do some sort of trade with her, even just for a small piece…she uses lots of flowers (especially poppies, my favorite) and birds. so gorgeous. i came across her website via lisa’s wonderous blog, one of my most favorites. and someone i would love to do a swaparoo with at some point. fingers crossed.
the odd thing is that i always loved bird things, and then my good pal gabe (who is awol, btw) went into a hardcare bird/pigeon phase in his artwork, and then i started noticing birds. everywhere. and this vase
i have had for ages that i adore became part of the luxe logo.
not much else to say, on account of me not doing anything at all this weekend, not even spinning all the gorgeous fiber i dyed, although i finished all the sock yarns, so that is a good good thing. wooot! here is some yarn for your viewing pleasure. i hope to do an update tonite, or to-morrow at the latest…
ok. off to shower.
smoooooooooooooooo….cha cha cha!

(& her blog!) did you see her new cuffs? and i’ve totally been wanting to try my hand at cuffs; but hers would put mine to shame! i love them! five. i love love that vase that is part of your logo – just lovely! so there. were we separated at birth
