My child loved, I mean LOVED this whale. Now I am toying with the idea of making him one. I am in such a slump, I have not made anything for this child since he was born. I am working on a cardigan, but I feel blah about it. I need a creative kick in the ass. I need a pattern that is quick and simple. I don't even want to get started on making stuff for Christmas!

hello lover!

This is my altar, This was an old china hutch that my mother gave me. What is this an altar to? I dunno! I just like religious stuff. I was inspired by the Voodoo altars of New Orleans. I even keep my uncles ashes in there (between the tall candle and the tarot deck on the second seld left hand side) Yup thats Uncle Stanley.

This is my knitting chair, I purchased this and Ikea, I love this chair, and the knitting basket on the right also came from Ikea, I LOVE THIS CHAIR!My Grandmother embroidered this peacock more than 60 years ago!

I started this pinwheel about 6 months ago! I don't remember what yarn I used, but it is 100% cotton, and it is super super soft! I dunno if i should stash this away or gift it? what do you think?

And here is my Gothic pinwheel, it got put on the back burner when i found the other unfinished pinwheel. But I have Tons of black yarn....and nothing but time to finish this!
Here is my Buddha head that's Lavender on the right and a rose bush on the left and the view from my Kitchen. These sit right next to my Altar, so i sit at my kitchen table and reflect, remind myself to breath, and to be present and to APPRECIATE! No pictures please! That's the elusive me

ok thats some of me. Hopefully I will have more to show you later on in the week.

I am afraid I have no knitting pics. I cast on the Gothic pinwheel baby blanket, but yet i slacked in taking pics.

My life is in a trillion places. I can't concentrate, nor keep track of anything. Everything keeps piling up, and I can't get out. So i shall share with you one of my favorite movies ALPHAVILLE.

ALPHAVILLE

I just love this movie. It is everything from Sci-Fi to a love Story to a Political sprinkled with great vintage Parisian fashion fashion, and beautiful statement. It is crazy over the top film, symbolism.

If you haven't seen this film yet...you should! Like all my fav movies this was based on a series of books, with the main character being Lemmy Caution. I am looking for the series, email me if you know where to get them.
