Saturday Night

Soo beat must go to sleep. I will upload pics of the Providence Open Market on Monday

Hump Day tee hee- or Wednesday Night's Dinner

I bet I've got your eye now! I like Wednesday because you're almost over the hump of the week!
Today was very disgusting out I worked mostly outside watering plants, trimming bushes etc. We splurged last night and ordered fried rice & general tso's tofu. I couldn't stand the thought of cooking in the heat.
So guess what we're having tonight?! Yay for leftovers!

We received a package from the Letterman show with some tee shirts in it. A while back we had sent Dave a kids shirt for his son.. of baron von ruffhausen- because Dave had mentioned he and his son were "roughousing" and he hurt his nose. Anywho- his assistant contacted us and said Dave loved the shirt! How exciting! So we got a little package of tees from him! The men in my family will be thrilled! I think I might make myself something other than a t-shirt.

Tonight we need to load the car full of our inventory, mannequin, clothes rack ( which we now have 2 of..because we forgot ours last PROM show- so we stopped at IKEA on RT 95 in Conneticuit to pick up a nutter) I haven't had any coffee today and really want some- but I know I'll just be up all night and need to be at work tomorrow. So Alas.. I'll have chocolate silk milk- with ice which is soo good. Zach's aunt taught me how to make a egg cream. I had no idea what was in it. Now I make them all the time with chocomilk. Wow it is really so easy to fall of track. In addition to th 3 rubbermaids we have full of stuff, I also have a large bag of fabrics for things I am going to make once we get to Westerly as well as my sewing machine, 2 tables 2 chairs etc. We'll be house & kitty sitting while we are there. Zach will get to see an early showing for press and the "in dorks" as we say of Transformers. I'll be sewing away playing with the cats and sucking up all the channels his mom's house can offer lol- guilty pleasure!

I need to remember to update our etsy shop as well- and figure out our Thursday Self- portrait pic. I wish we could get the 4 of us on the couch- but jasper is a huge fatty that squirms like a freak of nature if you even pretend to pick him up.

Well I should get back to loading the car. If you are going to be in or around Providence this weekend, stop by and see us :


ARE YOU GOING TO PROM?

Fabric from Purl Patchwork

Because I would rather pay money to the library for late fees I rented two more movies (actually 3)- Shattered Glass ( very interesting- but I prefer the fake Stephen Glass to the real one) - Passing Winter ( something non descript like that) with Zoey Deschanel, Will Ferrell and William Hurt- and UltraViolet. No not the Milla Jovavich movie- this one is an English Vampire show.. Which I have yet to watch. I owed sixteen dollars for Elizabeth I & Alice in Wonderland. Their hours have changed and I keep forgetting they are closed on Sundays.

Today I also grabbed the Anti- 9-5 Guide by Michelle Goodman. I am off to bed- tomorrow I have to sew labels into everything- I am so beat. Happy Sleeping!

Our 1st Anniversary Eagle Vs. Shark

We took the train from Tarrytown to Central Park. There were so many people waiting to have their picture taken with Alice, I barely had time to examine the statue. There was a bride being photographed as well. The day was just beautiful, so we went down to St. Mark's place with our hearts set on the Dumpling Man. We were distracted by a hotdog joint called"good dog" that actually sold soy dogs- so we couldn't resist! I can't remember the last time I had a hotdog let alone on the street in NYC. Mine had veggie beans, sauerkraut, mustard and of course ketchup. Sooo freaking good!

After that we walked to Dumpling Man and got some veggie dumplings to go. Zach checked out they Toyshop next to the Dumpling Man and I perused GirlProps. We then made our way to Landmark Cinema on East Houston to see Eagle Vs. Shark. It was so awesomely hillarious! It is the one guy from Flight of the Conchords on HBO. I highly recommend it! I just took the Eagle Vs. Shark Quiz and I scored as a Shark- Zach as an Eagle.. go figure!

From the theater we meandered over to Purl Patchwork on Sullivan. Every square inch of fabric was amazing and I wanted it all! But I was able to get away with spending less than $20 bucks. So I'm off to bed- tomorrow we take the car to get the damaged assesed.

OOhhhh Gotcha Right in the Cranberry!

Forgive me the title of this post is deceiving. There is no talk of cranberries. Only references made to naughty bits in Strangers with Candy. So our pizza party was fun and always hysterical when my niece jenny wants to play Transformers with Uncle Zach lol

On our way home we got rear-ended ugh! There were something like 15-20 racoons all ages trying to cross the road. Zach slowed down & stopped and we were rear-ended. The back bumper is sorta hanging there. We only got our car in October of 2006! Before that we had Zach's old car- because before that someone hit me and total my new car... so if it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all!

Luckily we are both safe. My foot is swollen and my back is sore- the hit was mostly on the passenger's side back end. Oh poop!

Stay safe xo

Alice in Wonderland & Mr. Hopskotch Hoppity LaRue

We started watching this and couldn't get over how adorable Dinah is! I had forgotten her little mews! We paused for a second then I forgot about the movie and started the dishes, when I turned around Zach and Hermione were zonked out in the bedroom. Just one of those days I guess!

Still in current dred of the inventory. It is staring at me from rubbermaid-craftypiles on our chair. Giving me evils.

Not too much to report.. today however is my father's birthday and my parent's anniversary. They've been married for 48 years!! Tomorrow we're going to their house for a pizza party.. lol I didn't think adults could have those, wait, they can? YAY Wheee!
Then Saturday we have a friend's birthday extravaganza.

On Sunday it will be our 1 Year Wedding Anniversary! Wow- I can't believe we have been married for 1 year already.. crazy! So on Sunday, June 24th we are going to zap into NYC for some fun..hoping the weather is nice. I really want to see the Alice in Wonderland statues in Central Park. Since I left my job in the city( aren't those lyrics to a Fogerty song?) I haven't been back in Central Park. A place I went to for solace almost everyday at lunch. ( the park not the statue)

Which reminds me.. I am going to start one of those lists of things I want to do... but I am going to cheat because I am going to add things I"ve already done. You know to build my own momentum.. it'll be awesome!


It is lightly raining with heavy thunder. Our basil plant is doing well as is the rhubarb and tomato plants( no tomatoes yet). The lettuce was doing so well, then the baby bunny ate all 6 stalks of it. Damn him!! Zach says it is really my own fault, the week before I gave him 2 stalks of organic lettuce that was getting a little wilty along with some carrots. The food was pretty much devoured, so I apparently gave our bunny Mr. Hopskotch Hoppity LaRue a taste for lettuce, says Zach. ( Yes, he is French)
Here are a bunch of photos I think they are silly.. me stuck in inventory hell, our kitties my scraped/cut legs from shaving you know the crazy stuff xo

Monday

Tonight for dinner I made mashed potatoes with organic yukon gold and spinach. We both ate really fast in order for zach to run and pick up some tee shirts for new orders and so I could go to the library. I rented an Inconvenient Truth ( because I think we were the only people who had not yet seen it) very powerful. I had seen parts of it on Oprah- but some of it was just amazing when he is discussing scientists who alter their findings or who are forced to lie.

I also rented Disney's Alice in Wonderland because I wanted some inspiration as well as Elizabeth the HBO miniseries with Helen Mirren. I've been on inventory duty for the last two days. Next weekend I'll be at the June 30th, 2007 /PROM as I am affectionatly calling it. It will be my first loner show. So if you come by and I am not at my booth I am either in a port-a-potty or on a coffee run! Zach will be at the Botcon convention- but may be able to help me set up & break down.

This morning and afternoon I worked on finishing up an apron, cutting and pinning a pair of lightweight cotton pinstriped jeans into a skirt, I made a clutch from some vintage fabric I picked up along with some imported Japanese fabric Summer had gotten me. Very Cute! I have so many items to list on etsy, but that is always my biggest pain. That's like after cooking a wonderful meal, you have a loadfull of dishes! Yikes- listing is to load fulls as sewing is to cooking/baking. Hope that makes sense.

Zach's shop, 247 Magnum is doing really well. Take a look~ My Husband's Other Store! Well I will leave you with 3 treasuries we were included in over the last 2 days- how exciting! One is a bunch of other vegheads on etsy xo, another is a fellow PROM vendor and lastly a lover of kites! Wheee







Off to bed, zach needs a ride to the train station tomorrow a 6:45- and I'm the chauffer!
