weekends are the best, even if you don't really do anything

nothing too exciting about this weekend....well, nothing after friday night, that is. i mostly hung out somewhat close to home.


this is what my desk looks like on any given saturday or sunday morning(pre-10am; when i feel i need to be wearing headphones cuz i like my neighbors, and just cuz i get up at 7am doesn't mean they want to)

saturday morning i realized i'd bought the wrong ink at pearl on friday after work. since it was such a beautiful day,

i decided to walk up to mendel's and get the right ink. i knew they'd have it(albeit about a dollar more), and then i could work in some exercise while avoidind downtown on a weekend. STOKEDNESS! i saw these wicked rad dog statues en route:

when i got my stuff(i wound up getting an inking plate too; i guess i figured i might as well, since this is soooo how i'm doing this year's holiday cards) i headed off home for the folding portion of the day.

the fact that i don't have cable t.v. can make for interesting program viewing at times.

saturday night i watched a 2 hour biography-thing on fleetwood mac(i guess i missed the first half hour though). i've decided i kinda understand the tv thing. i got hooked again from when i was on crutches, which was the second time really, but in conjunction with that is that i'm still traumatized by the loss of my cd collection a couple of years ago. i just haven't really listened to music in the same way/amount since. i wish i could get over it, cuz music is better for my mind...


sunday was another beautiful day,

i took a little walk after doing breakfast with sean at flippers. at one point i was doing 2 stairwalks a month, with other assorted activities that required some minor exercise. lately i've been more sedentary/pajamas oriented, and it's really showing, not only in my appearance, but in my perspective. i feel so pressed for time that it seems difficult to fathom that taking a walk would be just as important as another coupla inches on whatever sweater/bracelet, but it is, and i gotta keep that in the forefront of my mind.
my perspective on sunday was decent

AND i did everything i could get done on the cover for WORD.

later on in the afternoon, i also thought about how i kinda miss the snow



i did manage to sneak in a couple of crafty projects.
i'd made up this bracelet a while ago. i got the green beads when i went to the bead show here in sf, back about a month or so. originally i made it up with the same toggle, but with smaller jonquil beads.

after wearing it a couple of times, i decided it didn't really pop. i re-made it using two tones of blue druk beads. it's a little closer, but it still seems like it's missing something. i'll wear it a bit and see if something speaks to me...


i made this stretch band bracelet, which will be in the store(i swear, once all this fecalface anniversary stuff is over, it's the NUMBER ONE PRIORITY ON MY LIST!! next to sox) soon.

and for whatever reasons, i also busted out a pair of earrings. whenever i think about making earrings, it makes me wish i had more time to devote to learning about silversmithing (in terms of making jewelry).



NEW SOX MONDAY
these are the usual lace pattern i use(basically, all my sox are made using the book reilly got me for my birthday like 3 years ago), using the cotton/wool blend lana grossa...

i read rachel's blog the other day(yarn-a-gogo link on right), where she said she uses her blog as a reminder list, and i thought ooohhhh! nifty idea!. so i made a sox album in the photo area. not the next pair, but one pair real soon just has to be argyle. i can't seem to pinpoint the exact color combo i want...red, white, and black maybe...














psssst, anthony! it's stan shunpike from when harry's getting picked up by the nightbus...
