away we go
Joj and I saw this movie last week...and I looooved it. And the promo graphics are so pretty:
Also, when I was watching it, I thought I was listening to Nick Drake throughout the movie, but it turns out it was Alexi Murdoch, who I am now in love with. "towards the Sun" is a real sticker.
Listen and enjoy, I hope everyone's having a lovely summer thus far...

sigh
ahhhh....summer. I'm still recovering from my whirlwind trip to grand forks for art fest. What's that you say? I've been back for a week? well, that's true. But I've had this nasty off and on summer cold for the last three weeks, so everything's moving a little slower than usual! I've been a little medicated and a lot air conditioned.
Today I started making some of the sample projects for my summer camp with the North Dakota Museum of Art. I'm trying to work out some of the kinks in the projects. One of them involves sculpture with crushed cans...so I figured it would be great fun for the kids to run around stomping cans prior to the art making. I crushed about two can and then cut my foot. So the kids will be wearing shoes. I guess that's why adults have those sort of rules about flip flops.
Anywho, what better way to fritter away this congested summer evening than by doing some pretend internet shopping? This weekend we are going to try and sell our cat-scratched pull out lazy-boy sofa. Then when we move I am going to buy all this stuff. maybe.
The brontosaurus record cabinet. yes, please!
Mid-Century Sofa - Pistachio from Urban Outfitters. As you can see, I've officially entered the Mid century modern stage of my life. I am really curious, though...has anyone ever sat on a couch from Urban Outfitters? Do they have showrooms of furniture somewhere?
Pretty/cool fabric from Lotta Jansdotter, for kitchen curtains.
And of course I'll need a flokati shag rug (from ikea). I am pretty sure Jesse will not agree with me on this one.
anyway, rummage sale tomorrow. time to go organize the garage. huzzah.

what happened?
Remember how I was going to have that rummage sale, like, two weeks ago? Well, it didn't happen. I got sick for a few days, and since then everything has been a blur! Shortly after I recovered, Jesse and I headed to beautiful Cincinnati for a friend's wedding. We went full on tourist and it was pretty fun:
Here's me on top of the Carew Tower, the tallest building in Cincy. On the other side of the river in the distance is Kentucky. Maybe you already knew that, but it took a long time to sink in for me, because in my mind Kentucky and Ohio are worlds apart. Huh.
Look! Jesse was there, too!
I had never actually seen one of these viewfinders in real life, so you can imagine my excitement.
Anyway, I should have taken a lot more pictures....we also went on a carriage ride through downtown, ate famous ice cream and chili, ate a lot of other food, and went to the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, which was super interesting. Anyway, sometimes my camera gets kind of heavy...
So our friends' wedding was beautiful...but my favorite bit of that to share is this:
Croquembouche! I have never seen one so large or stunning! Anyway, yum. They're like crunchy cream puffs coated in caramel...and they're very classy. Like me! Maybe I will try to make one someday.
Anywho, now that I'm back...it's time to leave. Actually, I'm leaving for sunny North Dakota tonight.
For the Grand Cities Art Fest this weekend:
Saturday, June 13th 10-6
Sunday, June 14th 10-5
Downtown Grand Forks and East Grand Forks,
More info on their website.
Whelp, I've got an ungodly amount of work today before I leave, so, byeeee!

more summer
ahhhhh....I can't believe it's friday again already! I had a really relaxing memorial day weekend visiting the family....and monday we looked at places to rent in Fargo, and found one!
It's a sweet little rambler with a wood-paneled basement (studio)! The basement is double the size of my current basement studio, so I am pretty pumped about that. And the kitchen is much bigger. So, yay, it's settled!
And now for the rummage sale. We're having our first installment of rummage sales this weekend. Oh, how I love sitting in the yard all day. Truthfully, I am always really excited about having a rummage sale, but then the day of I find my self sleepy and a little disappointed in humanity around noon. Mainly because of the people that pick your stuff up and then throw it down when they look at the price, even when it's only, like a dollar. And then they're like "I'll give you 25 cents." Uff. Anyway, the people-watching is top notch and my goal is to get rid of crap, so I am determined to stay perky!
My favorite story from out last rummage sale: A mom comes up with a couple little kids. One kid picks up a 25 cent costume jewelry bracelet and starts sucking on it, and proceeds to suck on it for the duration of their time in our yard. The mom finds something and buys it, and then says "get that out of your mouth!" and puts it back on the table. New rule: You suck on it, you buy it! Or just take it. Please.
