lately












so around here lately... i'm knitting up a rug made with strips from antique rag balls.  i made homemade yogurt AND homemade granola AND carrot soup from a saipua recipe.  oh...all in one day.  plus in that very same day i also potted up a bunch of jade cuttings from my giant jade plant to give as holiday gifts.  i hate to sound braggy but high fives to me. 

by the way, the le creuset soup pot up there is the one i got for $11 (it has the top, too).  also by the way, the crocheted table cloth pictured is from the office manager at my dentist's office.  she knows what kind of work i do and when she cleaned out her MIL's house recently she passed along to me a 50 pound garbage bag full of old linens.  thanks martha!

and on my way to NYC last weekend i stayed in boston overnight and got to have dinner with my boy ethan at a tibetan restaurant in brookline.  i love that boy.  which you already know b/c i say it everytime i mention him.  i just lucked out this lifetime and got really good kids. 

and although i failed at photographing the NYC trip i did get this one good picture of miss alice.  she's a gem.  the rest of the pictures i erased without remorse b/c they consisted of crowds of new yorkers on the streets dressed as santa clauses doing a giant bar crawl.  it was the only time i got my camera out.  and i'd say really the only interesting photo from the batch was of one dude in a skin tight orange colored suit and nothing about it said santa claus but it did make him look naked from a distance.  mildly entertaining.   especially if you are immature.  in fact i'm snickering to myself right now recalling it.

that's it.
xo a million times.

dorothea lange

dorothea lange

just a quick note to say hello-
i have some catching up to do since i was away for several days in nyc with alice and margaux and walter and silas.  i also had the good fortune to have a meal with alison and amy.  and then monday i walked to the moma.  i used to get really into the big ab-ex stuff.  back in the day.  but this visit what i liked looking at most was the black and white photography.  dorothea lange's  pictures hit me hard in the heart.  and there was a sally mann picture there which was so beautifully done and dreamy and intense and also squeezed my heart some.
