the day i left geneva, my aunt found a four leaf clover in my grandparent's garden, which she gave to me. this afternoon, my friend dayna who had come down to visit for the week-end called to tell me she found my four leaf clover in her bag. we figured it must have fallen in. that little four leaf clover has a lot of kilometers under its belt! also, the map is from the national geographic map machine, which is a wicked site.  

k i didn't finish this skirt yesterday, but i finished it today! i'm super happy with how it came out. eee! the picture sucks but hard to find good lighting. 

p.s. it is for sale.

good together is Cute!

what i like about this picture is how it almost looks like i made the background greyscale in photoshop or something. which i didn't, haven't photoshopped that picture at all. this picture was taken in Nyon, Switzerland. and when i went to Basel, i saw an exhibit of works by Schwitters and Arp. their stuff was awesome and really inspiring and made me want to try and incorporate similar things into clothing. on my list of things to do today is design a skirt, and i'm trying to decide what the details on it should be. maybe i'll post a picture of the skirt later.  

politics

i'm not much of a politics person but i just read this article i thought was neat, it's on how When voters ignored strategic voting propaganda, Canadians elected more progressive governments. and rabble.ca is worth checking out. and also thecarrotbox.com. it's rings, plastic rings. and they are mighty cool and not even that expensive.

green and orange!

yesterday i went to see super size me. it was ok. eric talked me into seeing it by telling me the conflict between morgan and his vegan chef girlfriend was worth seeing, except i didn't really think it was all that interesting. also, i am reading shogun and i am hooked and would read all day and all night despite the fact that it gives me a headache. and also the internet is being slow and broken and annoying. and also i need to reformat my computer. 

blast!

i bought a tiny little purse at h&m in geneva. alas it is so tiny that i cannot fit both my tiny phone and tiny camera in it. i guess my camera is not so tiny anymore. it was back when i got it, but now they make much smaller ones. but still it should fit in my purse with my phone!

The Rurals - Headsong

i wanted to take an intro to hang gliding course but when i told my dad he said no, no and no.

boo.

and a bag i made the other day. the details are scraps from neckties i've used to make other bags. 

i made this skirt yesterday. it's actually too small for me though. 

one of the highlights of my recent trip was a visit to the mudac in lausanne. also i feel that there should be a built-in feature that allows you to plug links into this prefab layout. since there is not and i am not in the mood to tinker with the html i would like to take this opportunity to plug hardedge.net and shinebright.net.

we were in a tornado. and i am trying to figure out to get the borders on the pictures to look how i want, but not having much luck.

blogger is all neat and cool now, with spiffy new templates and a photo posting feature i have yet to play with. oh what a glorious way to waste a morning.

since i haven't done anything with this space, i figured a blog would be a good start.
