<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"> </span> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">people in the last couple of weeks that i wish i had documented:</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"> </span> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. the guy at the gym who neighed and whinnied like a horse while on the elliptical next to me. this went on</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> for about 20 minutes. yes... he really made horse sounds. for real. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"> </span> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. the 80's rocker wannabe in the supermarket. since there is no photo, i'll have to describe him as best i can. i hope i do him justice. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">i wish i had a witness with me. i was walking down the cereal aisle of the supermarket and this guy came strolling around the corner into my aisle. strolling like he was in a music video from 1986, not in the supermarket buying cookie crisp. he was probably 45, 5'9" and kinda scrawny. He had on white high-top sneakers with brick red hammer pants tucked into them and a red t-shirt with a big white star on the front and the sleeves ripped off. the sleeveless shirt was tucked very tightly into the hammer pants. he also had a matching red bandanna around his head, but he was careful not to cover his rod stewart hair-do. oh and a mustache. i'm talking magnum p.i. mustache. i told you i should have taken a photo. classic. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #351c75; font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">so as it turns out, having a full-time job and going to school full-time takes up a lot of time. add to that living with a family of 4 (including 2 small children), homework, knitting, crocheting, origami, reading, sleeping, eating, studying for the praxis, shoveling snow, making a hanging jewelry display, graduating college (i finished my bachelor's and am now working on my masters), christmas, birthdays, family visits, socializing with friends, and various other things; and what is left is umm.... not much blogging time. but i really like blogging, both reading and creating and so i'm going to try to squeeze a little more time in for it. </span><br />

They are made from upcycled leather belts which are mounted together and cut into tiles or an area rug. I might have to raid the local thrift shops for some belts to see if I can recreate one of these. The round leather rug goes for $688 at <a href="http://www.branchhome.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=278">Branch</a>, so it would be great if I can figure out how to recreate it on a budget.</span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Unfortunately, our kitchen like many others in older homes, is not well-suited for socializing while cooking. Perhaps the designers of older homes didn't cook much. If they did, surely they would have realized that cooks like to talk while they work. Thankfully, kitchens designed for entertaining finally did catch on as open kitchens are quite popular these days. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I love this kitchen with the lounge area so close to the workspace. Friends can sit and relax while talking and not be in the way - great entertaining solution! </span><br />

Then for each side, I folded the 3rd sheet of felt in half, lengthwise and cut it down the middle. To make the bottom, I cut the last piece of felt to be the same thickness as the sides. You will have about 3/4 of a sheet left over. </span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

To make sure the handle would be strong enough to hold a bag full of candy, I cut small squares of felt and sewed them right on top of where I attached the handles. Not only does this reinforce the handles, but it also covered the ugly knot at the end of the yarn. </span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

Rather than create my own shapes from scratch, I saved some time by buying pre-made foam shapes and gluing them on. Each bag got a spooky ghost and pumpkin, but on the other side, one got a haunted house while the other got a witch's hat. This glue took about a day to be fully dry, but they seem super sturdy now.</span></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

The Inspiration Pad<div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I was in high school, I lived about 4 hours away from my best friend Liz. We exchanged letters all the time and somehow our letter writing became a contest to see who could write the longest letter or who could find the most creative paper. I wrote her a letter on a roll of toilet paper once. And on another occasion, I made a tiny book from giant graph paper {the size of a big desk calendar} and then filled it. I think she won the award for lengthiest letter, though; I believe it was somewhere around 30 pages. At that point, we were pretty much sending each other a diary so we decided it was time to start cutting back...</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I saw this notebook, it reminded me of sending Liz those letters that were almost like a puzzle to read.
