Marshall loves to help me cook. . .if he gets any wind of something happening in the kitchen he is frantic to participate. My walls are not happy about his spastic stirring technique and often in my main objective to keep mess to a minimum and all his appendages attached to his body I forget important ingredients. But, I do love the idea of him cooking. Apron from Mollie, thats not really a skirt. . .
I love these ideas of how to make a play stove, cardboard or side table ( I actually saw a better one somewhere else but can’t remember where) maybe for the next birthday. . .

Bits of snow and lots of ice. Chris is finally home for a Saturday, Belgian waffles for breakfast and take out pizza for lunch!
Nothing falling out of the sky right now, but I love these interesting and accessible hanging poufs, (look for a photo in the bottom of the post with a green rabbit) seen on Design Files. . . (Erin, you would like them)

He insisted on including his in the photo, I don’t mind at all, its my favorite and it never actually made it too the friend it was intended. Though at the time I admit I was not happy about his close vicinity to these shiny coats of wax. Finished for a show next weekend, I love the wax, though I am not certain I like all what I did with it. Hence the censored views of only my favorite parts. I learned a lot, and I think you’ll see more as such in the future!

More color playing. . . I am a known magazine cutter upper. But really, how else can I keep track of what peaks my interest, I like to keep it in one place.
This Mr. Fox book! Wes Anderson is so brilliant. Now, is there a life Aquatic one? (not sure where I got the link. . .)

Watching Hope for Haiti as I type this out and send it to post in the future, so so hard to see those babies alone. I wonder if I should change the channel when seeing them doesn’t allow me to hold them, only makes me terribly sad.
I have strayed far from colors lately. I suppose its my devoted affection for graphite, gray is my comfort zone, art and clothes (sans neon nails and lips). I confess I really have never been satisfied with my color choices in the past, I feel like someone else chose them, not me. I am ready to try again though. Since having a child somehow I am certain of so much more now, the clothes that I like, the decor that I like, the art that I like, the food and I think maybe the colors. . . See the paint palette? Crayola! I got one for Marsh (which is now a collection of muddied ovals) and I couldn’t believe how wonderful the colors were. The watercolor palettes I remember as a child were so chalky. Oh its so fun! the blue! the red! the yellow!

My mom made Marshall this tipi for Christmas, I plunk a basket of books and his passle of stuffed animals. Usually he’ll stay in there for a little while though at this moment of camera click he is begging me to tell him the body parts of the goat. “Thigh!” I finally yell and he is satisfied with my answer. Silly goose, so cute.

The most exquisite clump of moss ever. I’m sure I shouldn’t have captured it like this, but I have a plan you see. I’m going to try some propagation methods, though I think its bit brutal, the blender process. There had better be lots of babies in the end.
