Love it !

I am super excited about these reusable grocery bags that I pre-ordered today. They were so popular that they sold out in 2 hours online, So now I am on the "wait-list".
Basically for about $6.00 each you get 5 fantastic bags that are able to hold 2 plastic grocery sacks full of groceries each, all wrapped in a compact storage pouch that is small enough to keep in your glove box. Totally hip and environmentally friendly to boot.

Is it just me or is Britney looking more and more like J.T. Leroy everyday?
Someone call Rachel Zoe - STAT !

Sorry for the bad lighting, I took these with the camera on my computer today. I just had to show you this cute white bag that I pulled out of my closet now that it is respectably " After Easter". In the south you wouldn't dare be caught after Labor day with white shoes or a white purse and unfortunately I picked this up on sale at the end of last summer and it has had to sit all winter in a box. Now I know that I don't live in Texas anymore, but I can not change the traditions that are in my blood - haha I pulled it out yesterday for the first time and I am so happy that I purchased it. Viva la Spring !

Stuff I am loving this week:

These glass bottles and this chair from
anthropologie.com






This Necklace from White Trash Charms













And this little bit of cutness I found on Etsy created by Danielle Maveal. See more of her amazing work here

New Plush Friends

Here are two little plushies that I created this week. A squishy snuggle bunny for little Brooke who is coming to see me today and a cuddly monster for Dylan. I drafted both patterns freehand. The bunny took me 3 nights to finish because I was trying to figure out how to piece everything together. She is about 15 inches tall without the ears, made with soft yellow fur and a fine wale corduroy. I hand embroidered her face since it is for a baby and can not have any removable parts for safety reasons. The little monster is made entirely of felt with black buttons for the eyes and is about 7 1/2 inches tall.

This picture from MarthaStewart.com makes me happy

Press release taken from the
Bellwether Gallery website:

In "The Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death" photographer Corinne May Botz explores a collection of eighteen crime scene models that were built in the 1940's and 50's by a progressive criminologist Frances Glessner Lee (1878 – 1962). The crime scene models, which were based on actual homicides, suicides, and accidental deaths, were created to train detectives to assess visual evidence. Like a forensic detective herself, Botz meticulously re-traces Lee’s footsteps with her camera and lights. Her large-scale color photographs shrewdly frame the idiosyncratic and haunting details from these captivating murder scene dollhouses. Such noir fiction shuttles between the detective photography of Weegee and the dollhouse narrative photography by Laurie Simmons to explore the dark side of domestic life.
