She was speaking to Ilene.

Reflecting on the super skinny girls in pageants and said, "Those skinny girls wouldn't last a day if they got locked up in a cage! Ain't nothing for the body to feed on! Be eatin the heart, the liver! You know the body is gonna eat itself, it's not just gonna die off. It'll be lookin for some food! Those women in the 16,18,22...they'd last a week! Then someone could come save them."

... what??

Painting, Painting

I've begun painting ketubot (Jewish marriage contracts). I'm selling prints and originals. Here's the beginning of a ketubah that features a hamsa and orange dahlias. 

Obviously not done yet.

I Wore Stretch Pants for their Intended Activity

It was a big day today. It was the first day of my tackling of The List! It was my very first yoga class.

I. Loved. It.

I'm sore and tired and endorphin'd and it's terrific.

Yay for The List!

Love Potion #9

It's almost Valentine's Day! Normally this raises the concern and anger and bad vibes of almost everyone around. I, however, adore Valentine's Day. So, I bring you this template for making valentines to help even the most heartbroken friend. 

Some of the photos are blurry. More to the point, they're a bit vague. Let me know if you need clarity.

Leather Bound Journal

So, I posted awhile ago about how to wrap a gift with scrap leather or suede. Bet you wondered where the leather/suede came from, huh? Well here's where. But this took a million years to put together for you so it's arriving late. Making a journal takes some getting used to, but ultimately it'll work out. 

Yoga

I am super duper serious about this list. So serious I bought a Groupon for yoga classes so that I'm obligated to go or I'm wasting the money.

So.

Next Tuesday at 5:30p I will wear spandex in front of other people while I demonstrate to the world just how inflexible I am.
