luxe

so firstly, update. nonstop, everyday new things added…birdies with hats (yes, really.), freeform crocheted jewelry, tons of scarves, neckywarmers and other wearables and yarn and fiber. yesterday i did my first holiday yarn of the season that has tiny christmas lights in it. i have to take photos to-morrow. super cute. really. so pop by and try to pop by every day if you have a moment to swoon. hee.

new season of project runway. ooooooooh. so excited. it seems like a higher quality of designers. it always cracks me up to see the 21 year olds that have that “it’s perfect!” way about them still. and then, a few years or 10 later, you are horrified that you not only cranked out really strange stuff (and not in a good way) but did it with obnoxious attitude. sigh. and then the slightly older people that are more of an artist and make really odd things that wouldn’t suit many people, but they love that about their clothes, but it makes most people hate them. those people never get hurt because they think that you just don’t get it. maybe that is best, really. so far, good. what say you?

in other news, jake got me (and himself) and early channukah/xmas pressie…a BIIIIIG ipod video! squuuueeeeeeee! i have had a 10G first generation ipod for ages. the battery doesn’t work, although i fairness, it has never broken and has worked forever. it is covered in paint and ink and is a mess, but it served me well. we have huge music collections in this house and i am unable to keep track of what we have and where it is because i had no room. so i got the biggest memory ipod and you can put photos on there and shows and whatever you like. so. awesome. i am on the lookout for a fun cover for it. any ideas? thanks jake!

my good etsy friend, ashley and i are doing some swapping for xmas gifts (okay, maybe some of it is for us, too.) and i am super excited. jake got two really cute new jackets, a black velvet blazer (he looks so gq in it!) and a olive green corduroy jacket with patches on the elbows…really swank, so anyway, he needed some cufflinks and i found these awesome ones in ashley’s store…lookie here…i have one of the pebble rings from her shop from a previous swap with an opal set in it (my birfstone) which i love, and she made me custom a wee love knot ring. so go…buy. her prices are really reasonable. and she is awesome.

i think that is about all for the mo.
