I wish I could be there with a big box of vita coco and a plate of healthnut toast. (Instead I'm racing off to Elmwood for the weekend before Brimfield.) Worst daughter of the year award, right here.

Ode to Patrick
Diposting oleh fawaid on Jumat, 07 Mei 2010
They say that when one experiences acute withdrawal symptoms, the body goes through several worsening stages of physical and emotional distress, only to hit a plateau of hell at the bottom. Then, slowly, your symptoms begin to dissipate as your body acclimates to it's new equilibrium. Only when you reach that equilibrium can true personal growth begin.
But then the Time-Warner cable guy comes and reconnects you to the internet after a week of cyber solitary confinement and all of a sudden, thoughts of personal growth are pushed to the back burner as you spend a consecutive 5 hours looking at cute terrier mutts on petfinder.
So yeah. I have the internets again. It's good to be home.

This is Patrick, my cable guy. He walked into my apartment and looked at my internet situation and said "I see you're interested in the whole antiques thing. Is that why you have an antique modem?". It was kind of amazing.
He wants to start a cable guy blog about the crazy houses/people he sees day to day. He showed me some photos on his phone of potential subjects. Some had floor to ceiling Star Wars figurines. One had a 5' tall head of Michael Jordan. Crazy appliance hoarders abound. He took a few pictures in my place (do I fall into the hoarder category?!?) and in return I snapped a picture of him for you to appreciate. Thank you Patrick for saving my internet, you were a riot.
Now that I'm back I promise to continue infrequently and erratically posting to this blog about topics of nonimportance to all.
oh the joys of moving!

We are starting to come out of the sea of boxes around us! It's such a great feeling. There have been many
"bumps" this week and one of them is that we cannot get connected back up until next week!! ACK!!! :( I didn't think it would take so long. SO it will be quiet around here for a few days and the shop will remain closed until we can get connected back up!
Can't wait to chat it up again on twitter with YOU, share photos, projects, tutorials and visit my favorite blogs!
See you soon!!!......xo Meg

Spring TOP....mini version and voting!
Diposting oleh fawaid on Senin, 03 Mei 2010
I scheduled this post before we loaded the moving truck and headed out! We are still in the midst of unpacking and swimming in a maze of boxes. :)
If you have been stopping by the last couple of weeks then you have seen my Spring Top refashion entries for this contest . The judges have narrowed down the finalists and they will post groups of photos each day. You only have 1 day to vote so hop over there and take a peek. **If one of my tops happened to make it to the finals and you like it - please show me some love and give it a vote! remember, you only have 1 day to vote! New tops will be up the next day!**
Here is a little reminder what they looked like and the link if you want to make one yourself!
LOL.....hmmmm just noticed how I pretty much posed the same in all the photos! (yes you can laugh along with me!)
I provided the tutorials on how to create these tops for you but you can take these techniques and create "mini" versions as well! I used the Knot technique from top #2 and the shirring around the bottom from top #3 to create this:
And adult tshirt creates a fun "dress" top that is perfect paired with leggings for Spring and Summer!
So go get sewing! and if you try one, share your photo in our Flickr Group!
Peach is my new favorite color.

I haven't had internet in my house for 7 days. I'm waiting on tenterhooks till my Tuesday appointment when I'll find out when I can resume my usual ebay/twitter/flickr cycle. Until then I'll keep falling asleep before 10.
Sarah and I just got back from doing a wedding at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and for the first time in a week, I have a few spare moments to internet veg at work. Meaning all I have to show you are some old flower photos of an arrangement I did last month. Let me tell you, garden roses and ranunculus hide a multitude of sins.
When my internet finally gets fixed , I have lots of things to tell you about. Some exciting. Some sad. Some bewildering. Some involve face to face contact with Hanson. Yes. That Hanson. I can't even make this stuff up.
Where to SHOP?
