Create: The last two days I have been creating a new shower curtain for my bathroom. I have a tendency to get something in my head and then have a terrible time trying to find exactly what I want. So I search and search until I find exactly the right thing and sometimes that requires making something. Case in point, I have had a heck of a time finding a shower curtain for my bathroom. I had seen one at Target that I liked but the problem is that my shower rod is hung really high and my tub is quite deep so a standard curtain won't do. So then I got it in my head that I wanted a really thick black and white stripe to go in there. Almost a circus tent feel. So I looked and looked and you wouldn't think it would be that hard to find a stripe but I couldn't find just the right one. I wanted to bold stripe, no wimpy 1-2 inches. Give me 3-4 or don't show up. FINALLY on Monday Mom and I found it at Mood. (Thank you, MOod) So with 96 inches of fabric (that makes for a REALLY long hem) and my sweet new machine, in 3 hours I had a new curtain and it is perfect. On to Home Depot for some Pipe and fittings to hang it. I am so excited about the finished product. I think it looks fantastic.





Although sometimes you hit little snags in the program. I originally was going to post this on the 7th, thinking it would be a piece of cake to put it up. Not so much. And hence sometimes you need to just walk away for a day or two and hum a little. In the end it worked out. So check two off the list and on to the next creative projects which include making a necklace with my cool new monacle and a little pillow with my cool new sewing machine. Just in time for a little snow storm.

Trapeze!!!!!

I finally used the gift certificate I got for Christmas from my little sis, Jill. She and I took Trapeze lessons when she came to visit me last year and she knows how much I love it. So last week I took another class and I am kicking myself for waiting so long. It is SO DARN FUN!!!! I have learned new tricks every time and they are getting so fancy and cool. Today I was so excited to try the set split. It just looks so circusy and trapezey! I know that neither one of those are words but that is the only way to describe it. I let me camera run and got a video that ,while it is crap lighting you can see my catch on my new trick LOVE IT!  Take a look.

Me and LD back in da day

My former assistant from Quiksilver was in town this week and she crashed at my place while she was here. It was fun to catch up and have girl time. As I was archive digging tonight I ran across this gem from one of our QS Waterman shoots. We always knew how to throw a little fun into an otherwise tedious project with our Mannies, Bryan and Chad. Oh the days.

Henri Bendel

I am in Love. It happened quite suddenly although I met him years ago. We rekindled our affair on Fashion's night out a few months back and now it's official, I am head over heels. :) His name is Henri and I love everything about him. I want to be a Bendel Girl for the rest of my life. All illustrations by Izak Zenou who does Incredibly beautiful work. Oh to be THAT talented....swoon.
