a scissor runner stole my heart

Guys, last night I had a dream that Lafayette from True Blood gave me a tattoo of David Letterman, who was dressed up in some kind of weird costume in the tattoo. I don't know what this means, but I'm just going to guess: I need the last episode of True Blood already!

Good long weekend! I spent a good deal of the weekend with my youngest sister -- we went shopping, test-sprayed perfume (my sister found this one and it was scrumptious on her, so the part of me that's already planning for Christmas is planning on this for her!), got crazy Labor Day sale dealios at JoAnn's, and watched a ton of Gilmore Girls.

I have two hats awaiting antler and ear attachments and two awaiting some other particular applique. There are hats with poms all over my desk. The poms are getting more and more ridiculous, too.

However, happily, half of them are in the "outbox" of hats people bought from my Etsy shop about to be shipped out!

Here's a flora deer hat on a lovely PuPe! I love that girl!

all fists and elbows

Crocheted this little mori-ish cowl up out of pretty white wool yarn this morning and attached some pom-pons. This lead to my friend L and I pondering the usage of "pom-pons" (the cheerleading/pom squad kind) versus "pom-poms" (generally accepted as a spelling for decorative/clothing items). I guess I will use the blanket term "poms"??

I've been a bit of a whirling dervish lately. I made three hats yesterday, including the toadstool one above.

This one was lofty, conceptually speaking! Two clouds, two moods. On one side, dark and rainy, on the other, sunny and sparkly.

This bunch-of-balloons one was vaguely inspired by the ads Sofia Coppola did for Miss Dior Cherie.

AND I DO MEAN VAGUELY...

But two of these hats sold rather instantly on my Etsy shop, which made me feel like the girl holding the balloons and floating away. What a good day!

Well, I like those apples very much, Matt Damon.

I LOVE PERFUME!


Just sprayed some of this and now I'm blissed out. I don't wear perfume during summer with the frequency I do in autumn/winter, so I forgot how utterly delicious this is. I alternate between three scents currently (this is one of them, the other two are Miss Dior Cherie and a peach-freesia scent by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen that smells surprisingly great for a low-end kind of spray) but I'd like to go out perfume-sniffing one of these days to see if I can find more to covet!

Off for the evening. Blythe post tomorrow!
