not particularly wordless wednesday

strangely, i don't really have a lot to say today, which is odd, because i've got tons of exciting things going on. developments towards that office/creative space that i've been wanting, plus some...

saturday on thursday or just another random list to clear my head

things i've learned in the past few days: ~ do not be tempted to cook with the beautiful, smooth, fragrant, white inner bark of an oak tree. it's bitter as hell. ~ once you have had the iPhone...

peachy perfection

the danish model rears its ugly head

i love the danish model. NOT. honestly, there are times when i'm less than fond of the danish model. i mean in general, not the union model being referred to in this headline (i just couldn't...

watching the asparagus grow

at long, long last, it was a lovely day today. warm, sunny, light breezes. i swear you really could actually see the asparagus growing. tho' my dad needs to get back here and weed it again. the...

spring exhibition - movement

at long last, some sunshine and signs of spring have begun to show themselves...let's hope it continues! we really could use some warm days so we could open up the house and air it out!

they were here. they drove me up a tree. but now where have they gone? they didn't really drive me up a tree, it just seemed like that's what molly was thinking. my family has continued on to...

a crafty day at home

my sis wanted to make some felty-stitchy bits for her bathroom back home. so we enlisted child labor. they don't have anything better to do since there's no school. turns out you can pay the child...

the wind has blown my thoughts into confusion

i seriously blinked and then it was thursday. where has this week gone? i'm nowhere near ready for my family to arrive, but am looking forward to it anyway. they'll just have to live with the chaos...

synesthetic moments and the future of the past

vignettes of a life (while we wait for spring)

i can't believe it's almost friday. the week is flying by. things are picking up, getting busier. that is both good and bad. time hurries at breakneck speed. but we still haven't seen spring. we've...

name that ship type

yes, i was back in esbjerg last week, taking pictures (480 of them, to be exact) at the harbor. what is it about ships that's so fascinating and wonderful? they really do make me totally happy. and...
