Randi made these.
I like to mill around in Lowes. "Mill around" = browse lazily through the store in Appalachian Hillbilly speak, or maybe everyone says it, I dunno. You should also pronounce the word "fish" as "feesh", and "wash" as "warsh", but I digress. I spend a lot of time in Lowes. I like the fastener aisle, with all the chains and screws. I also really like the paint department, with all the stencils, brushes, stains, and lacquers. I have a tendency to buy stuff that won't fit in my car, because I think being in Lowes causes me to slip into denial. I like the tool section the most though. It's like a utopia of opportunity. I need to go to Lowes tomorrow. I need to get lights.
Randi made this little gem. It's inspired by the Super Mario world, and the pockets on the front are seriously groundbreaking. She's all up in your ass with this one. Check our Flickr for more photographs.
I made these. They were done last night, but I wanted to wash them to make them shrink before I stuffed them. I put the buttons in today. I also painted my garage doors, and built a new place to take photographs. I used some MDF and bead board I had hanging around, and I painted it a very light blue. I love the concept, and it works really well, but we'll see how the color works out. I would have liked to have brighter light, but it was later when I took these. I'm greasy and have paint in my hair.

These are a couple of bags we made the last two days. I made the top, Randi made the bottom.
I gave my husband this CD for Father's Day. I gave it to him early because I was so excited. He had the album when it came out, but it was lost.
Jello Biafra sounds like Sponge Bob.
There's a big sale at JoAnn's starting tomorrow. You better go.
Randi
has started her Golden Bug series. Using a side quest from The Legend
Of Zelda as inspiration, she’s handcrafting golden bugs and
reinterpreting them in handbags. This is the second installment, and I
think the little bug compartment is perfect, almost ethereal.
I’ve
been working on exciting projects as well, but I can’t quite talk about
them yet, and frankly it’s taking me down. I’m excited, and I can’t
keep secrets.
We also went to the Rose Festival today. I took quite a few photographs, and I plan to use them for some projects.
Randi made this to take on her student-teaching adventures. It's a leg with an astro-turf top. I'm pretty sure the red brocade was left over from a Halloween costume I made. Maybe not, I can't remember.
I have been planting things, and making a lot of soap. I planted 40 Impatiens (all started from seed), two days ago. I woke up to a jerk squirrel tossing them about like his own personal snacks. I replanted what he didn't eat, and now I'm short 12 plants. I started those fucking plants in March godammit.
