three things thump thump thursday

thursday is now the day of three things that make my heart go thump thump
todays subject is the bathroom!!!

this is the bathroom buddha. i am not counting him as he is the buddha! as you can see i am already sort of cheating... this little fella can only be seen after you open the decrepit medicine cupboard. hmmm...what does that other vingette mean??? (that is right, i am a lucky girl)
clinique 'happy' is the first and only perfume i have ever owned...the holy crow gave it to me for my first birthday we celebrated together...it does smell happy!!! you can barely see it, but after weeks of coveting my label maker i finally let lil magpie have a go... i am glad she thinks i rock!(second cheat)

this is a large blue 'atlas strong shoulder' mason jar with metal and glass lid filled with some of nightingale's collection of bouncy balls. (technically not cheating as this is a package deal...are you counting?) we like to close the door and bounce them hard. one at a time keep away is the best game. the eyeball glows in the dark...out go the lights and it is cuhrazy town!

we got this shower curtain(i love sam flores) after our trip to portland. we stayed at the ummm...i cannot remember the name...(edit:the jupiter)but it was rad. it had this curtain and the door to the room was painted with chalkboard paint...chillin like a villian. this was such an awesome vacation. the graffitti up there was awesome. (i do not believe you can use the word awesome too often when describing portland) we ate at a rad little wine bar=noble rot(i cannot believe i remembered that name)yummy butter lettuce salad.

those were the (ahem) three things i love (thump thump) in my bathroom.
(i also love alliteration)

this is part of my super rad yummy lunch. cantelope with chile limon!!!
mango in rocky point is where this addiction started! if you have been there you know!!!

this is my shazam glass. one of my newest favorite treasures. i think perhaps the holy crow thinks it is his...but it is not...well sort of...one of us is always disappointed come beverage time.

these are the cutest cookies in the entire universe and yum yum too! kancho!!!
so lil magpie spies these on my work table(ha ha computer desk)
l.m.-may i have one
h.b.c.-sure
surprized look(uh oh, am i greedy with my cookies? heck yeah!)
l.m.-may i have two
h.b.c.-sure
suprized look intesifies
unsure if it can be pushed farther...
l.m.-may i have a few
h.b.c.-hold on, how many is a few...
we agree to split them evenly ; )

these are the two new bags for etsy later today...(which was much ealier if you happen to check the time of this post! oops!)

and this here is a sneak peek at a little something in the works for mother goose who has been such a gracious host to me and the girls as well as providing her computer guru skills and general delightful company...i will show more later.

okay, i am sneaking one more bathroom thump thump in...(does three make me a super cheater?) this rad little box, the holy crow and i found on one of our outings. it practically walked out of the shop and jumped in our vehicle on its own.

old school update...'pretty young thang' nightingale is fascinated by the metomorphosis of michael jackson...it cannot really be explained...(southpark tried...ha ha)
the children did 'bust a move' with me though!!!

about town

today i realized(again) that i am rarely ALONE. with lil magpie gone, nightingale the sleeping teenage beauty and the holy crow at work... i am alone.

***todays lil magpie tribute: last halloween as cinderella skeleton(she loves this book!)***

well, i finished weaving all those ends in and even got some sewing done. this equals yarn shop. i have not been in a looong while. they moved to a new location(across street). i bought circular needles...thought i would stop avoiding them. they have made a new roving display...very clever...also they have made their own little needle felt kits...sooo cute. i really wanted to take a picture but i felt dumb saying "for my blog". maybe next time i will bring some chutzpah in my purse!

chutzpah...good one! i am trying to be creative and not swear.(i was going to say balls(but maybe i should include vulgarity in my efforts)) it is not going very well. double effort with the nestlings present. could swearing be well done and considered as an art form? it is especially difficult driving. this is a task which naturally lends itself to the linguistic dark side.

the yarn shop was not yet open when i got there. here comes the alone part. what to do? mini ha ha roadtrip. i dropped off some donations at the charity shop(cleaning out for the move),went to another charity shop and scored the raddest silver cake server...half price...yea!

then drove through lots of construction(this makes me want to swear: except it is for a good cause(installation of lightrail public transit(it is about time)) in search of an elusive roadside memorial...cross of teddy bears... i collect photos of such things. no luck but i did find these others. the one on the left says his nickname was "slice". what is that story???


















i also had a chance to stop by and get some of my favorite cookies at little market...yum yum! (these were also on sale) cookie goodness is bittersweet as the market is in the old co-op building. i still cannot believe the co-op went out of business(good reason for us to move) oh yeah, it is also in same plaza as the gym. oops:(

the nightingale did crawl from her hole and grace me with her presence, this afternoon, to go to the library. as you can see i even got a smile. i did not technically have to bribe her. of course, she crawled back in her hole as soon as we got home: dragging thirteen books behind her. well at least she reads! :) :) :)
