sunday summary

+ working non stop preparing for renegade (brooklyn & la) and working on my regular orders. MR has been doing good this month! a big thanks to everyone for their support!!

+ received a gift awhile back of a giant collection of embroidery thread.  squealed with delight opening it. here it is on my work desk.

+ reorganized my workplace after jane shared her's here.  i made her a custom heart and little alphabet. love all her little things, the typewriter, and the room color....

+ oh, did i mention that recently we took in a street cat that was in our neighborhood since i moved in two years ago.  he had a horribly swollen paw. it was so bad it looked bent and broken.  it's now all healed up and he and bug have met, but are not quite sure of each other just yet.....

+ crazy great weather here in nyc. bike rides, parks, raining leaves. the people sunbathing in the park. there's nothing like this in ca.  i'm still a tourist in my own city.  i'm not sure if it'll ever stop.

+ reading proust was a neuroscientist by jonah lehrer and thoroughly enjoying it. it's not fair that one man be so handsome, smart, interesting, young and accomplished. he is also an editor for seed magazine- i like.

+ tim gunn turns marvel superhero!

+ i learned that walt whitman once worked as a librarian at the brooklyn museum's library. it made me feel a little more in love with brooklyn.

+ bee keeping is now legal in nyc. i wanna be a bee farmer, funny suit and all. read about it here on the nytimes.

Our recent acquisition of the @ symbol has challenged what most people think of as a typical object that a Museum acquires.

+ i learned at the philosophy and the arts conference how we always fail (and thats the point) when trying to reconstruct memory.

+ lots of inspiration on this blog where i found the ps 22 choir. you need to hear them sing!

+ found and old (nasty) table on the street in front of the chelsea hotel. i scrubbed it for like an hour to remove the filth, but so worth it to now have a packaging station! before and after images to come....
