Baltic

Work today i worked on some new stuff and then i took a nice trip with laura to baltic bazaar, a thrift store that sells fabric for $5 a pound.

on the way home i spotted an unbelievably cute toy store called acorn on atlantic avenue.  i can't wait to go back and visit!

oh and lena tagged me and i think i am finally going to do it and share 5 little facts about myself.  here we go:

-i really like to learn languages--i took four years of italian in high school, three semesters of spanish and one semester of french in college.  unfortunately i still can't speak well in any of them...

-i've always wanted to learn martial arts.  i took a kung fu class in college (briefly) and an aikido class in high school (also briefly).  i am extremely uncoordinated and had to stop out of embarassment.

-i have a little voice.  when telemarketers call they ask if my mom and dad are home (i'm 22).

-i have some serious global warming anxiety and it effects nearly every decision i make!  i always bring my own bags when i go shopping, and my own produce bags to the farmer's market.  i almost never get take-out because i hate non-recyclable containers.  i walk around my apartment turning unnecessary lights off and unplugging electronics all day long!

-i want to have a little farm in new england one day.   i worked on a farm through high school and part of college and did things like weed strawberry plants and prune christmas trees.  i always thought it was fun.

i am going to break the rules and not tag anyone else...i think everyone i know has already been tagged!

Drawing

some drawings for a new pattern.  i am trying to get a little faster at making them...hopefully i'll have a couple more to share with you next week.

some other things i am interested in:

-this coat.  i have to get out of the habit of buying a new winter coat every year!  i'll do my best to find a cheap thrift store one but if not...i might have to get it.

-this new global warming documentary looks good: everything's cool

and i LOVE ashley watson's recycled leather bags.  i wish i could find a store nearby with a dark brown "warbler" style.  pretty and guilt-free.

oh and i cannot wait for the holiday ornament swap!  find out more on monday here and here.
