Happy Friday!

It doesn't get much better than receiving a new stripy shirt in the mail on a Friday, thanks mom!

I found this tasty-looking recipe for red velvet sandwich cookies w/cream cheese filling on one of my favorite design blogs, Mint a week or so ago. Given all my free time and my insatiable sweet tooth, I decided to give it a shot. While the ingredients only cost me $6 at Aldi's, of course there was no red velvet cake mix, so I figured devil's food would work, and maybe even throw some cocoa powder (borrowed from my roommate) into the filling.Not as pretty or festive, but oh so delicious.

Puppets+Andrew Bird=Magical!

Stripy Shirt HEAVEN!

I love stripy shirts sometimes more than my siblings (they're around a lot more), and I saw this link on one of my favorite blogs, A Cup Of Jo, today. Joanna has such great taste...there's also this online shop for die-heard stripe lovers for the real deal! An original Breton fishing striped shirt is definitely on my wish list. There's something about them that feels very French and effortlessly sophisticated.

Awesome.

I've been listening to this on repeat.

Behind every great puppet is a great tiny outfit.

Puppet #2 is getting started...it's unclear what it will turn out as, but some potential ideas are:

• emo puppet
• Erika puppet
• swarthy Frenchman puppet
• monster puppet wearing a stripy shirt

One of my favorite parts is definitely the tiny clothing. I loved so many things about Fantastic Mr. Fox (the scene in the farmers' trailer with hundreds of tiny post-its on the wall was great!), but the puppets' outfits were phenomenal.

Apparently Mr. Fox's suit/oufit was modeled off of a suit owned by Wes Anderson. These awesome guys did the puppets for the movie I believe.

So pretty.

Quite A Lady.

I never got to meet my grandmother, but I keep this photograph of her, taken when she was a little younger than me I think, on my wall above my desk to remind me all the great things she did and all the potential great things I can do. She was the original creative lady of the family; I also keep this drawing she did near my desk. Wouldn't that make a beautiful dress, even now, probably at least 60 or so years after she designed it?

Disturbing Genius

Scanned from New York Magazine

Edward Scissorhands was one of the first movies I can remember I considered being my favorite (a stark contrast to the other favorites of Cinderella and The Little Mermaid). From Frankenweenie to Batman to Beetlejuice, I love how his love of the grotesque and absurd and weird never wavers. Not only that, but the fact that he can get his ideas into widely-released films. The exhibit of his work is still going on at the MOMA in New York until April and it looks AMAZING! The exhibit website is pretty cool too....check it out!

I love having the jitters.

Very interesting that all coffee is not created equal, especially when comparing sizes as well.
