I Am Thinking About It

We made tamales! 

We made tamales!!

Cracked safe on the sidewalk, Bellevue Ave.

It's a beautiful evening at Golden Gardens. Thanks to Jess for
bringing me down here!!

We watched the Swifts go to bed tonight, and got to see the Hawk take
one from inside the chimney!

None of that was a coded message.

Observe this photo of Defense Secretary Gates, in today's WSJ.
Although the story is about the defense announcement from yesterday,
Gates appears to be depressed, maybe even crying, or ashamed? It's a
photo that belongs next to a story about a scandal, not a perfectly
legal and not really all that controvertial decision (see today's news
about the polling in Poland).

WTF, WSJ?

Ana asked me to take her Senior Photos, so we hit airport park with the tripod and her best friend. I think the results came out pretty good, actually! Unphotoshopped, I loaded some on Flickr for you to see.

So I dug out my knitting stuff and made a baby toy.. Uh, sock.

I sat down this weekend and finally made the napkins I have wanted for a long while.

These are made out of a queen sized flannel fitted sheet I found at the Seattle bins before we moved. I cut it up into 20 15″ squares, then zig-zag stitched the edges. For the first few, I actually measured and pinned, but then I gave up and just free-stitched it, and I’ll be honest – I can’t tell the difference between the neat ones and the lazy ones. Flannel is kind of a pain to sew, it stretches and sticks to itself all over the place!

Tea and I just spent 3 HOURS going through the 800+ wedding photos from our photographer. There are so many amazing pictures in there!
