The Brunch
Mom and I were invited to a wonderful brunch today. I saw friends from Seattle PI that I haven't seen in many years and it was great to visit and catch up. Talked about friends we miss (looks like they blog now) that we haven't seen in a long time and should call. Did I ever mention I put my flowers photos on My Seattle Pix.
Making Something
How to Make a Wide Fringed Scarf via label-free. Loved reading this blog and watched her make her trace her own pattern. Canson Sketch Rolls.

Sew Green also via maya*made.
Can you tell I have my sewing machine out? Not really making something, more like I am making a big mess.

Close And Personal
Unique blog - standinaqueue via Russell Davies' in defence of the ordinary, adventures in the everyday - a blog that wants to be a book.
I got completely caught up in watching video from Stood in the Congo.
The internet makes the world seem small, familiar and personal. Identifying with places I have never been and people I have never met.

The Tudors
We were watching the CBUT for the opening ceremonies and saw the promo for the second season of "The Tudors" (note for those of you able to watch CBC ... this begin Sept. 30!) So the first question where is the first season! It looks like they will be showing the first season later this month and early September. Guess you could purchase the first season.
Interesting podcast of special features such as The King's Table: Tudor Cooking, Cardinal Wolsey: The power behind the throne and The Six Wives of Henry VIII. So now I know I have something to look forward to in September!

Sitting Pretty
I really would love to have these chairs. Right, Katie? (Can't remember where I found these).

Tim Walker
The genius of Tim Walker. If I had it to do all over, I would be a photo stylist! If I could be a photo stylist. I think I could, I wish I could ...
Texas Bush And Other Fun Plantings
It has been 4 days since I shot the Texas Bush and started this post. My life seems very much out of my control lately. Lots of work. Getting up so early is so demanding that I go to bed early and keep myself on schedule. I feel like I miss out out on much of my life. But... the good news is ... I am on vacation for the next two weeks. My time is my own for two weeks! Woo Hoo!
I love my "Texas bush" ... it reminds me of when I was a kid in Texas! And that makes me happy.
Wooley Thyme. Planted in the rocks. Corsican mint, Baby Tears, Camomile .., I spent some money on ground covers, to see which ones will take hold.
Brass Buttons, yes, I bought them from Steppables.
I have Snow-on-the-Mountain under the Vine Maples, that stuff is unstoppable!

One Man, One Mission
Very fun piece on KUOW this morning - One Man, One Year, One Mission: Read The OED.
"An example, he says, is "petracore," a word for the scent that rises from pavement after rain has begun to fall."

Mixing Karma
Former co-worker made this wonderful movie, Mixing Karma. Still waiting for it to come to Edmonds Theatre so I can see it with some popcorn.
Insane War
Ron Suskind Alleges War Fought On False Premises on Fresh Air tonight, very interesting. But D and I were saying most of this from the get-go of this insane war.
"In his new book, The Way of the World, Suskind writes about a secret meeting in early 2003 in which intelligence officials were told by Iraq's ihttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifntelligence chief, Tahir Jalil Habbush, that Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction. According to his book, the Bush administration then buried the report."
And on the subject on "insane wars", have been watching, or trying to watch, HBO's Generation Kill. It makes me very uncomfortable to watch ... very much like when I watch The Office. It feels wrong to have a series on about a war that is still very active. But I am hoping to glean something from it.

Nonfrumpy
The director Roland Emmerich, best known for his high-budget, spectacle-filled films like “10,000 BC” and “Independence Day,” told his designer, John Teall, to make his house "as nonfrumpy as possible." There is nothing I don't love about this place!
Kelly Louise Judd
Extraordinary work of Kelly Louise Judd, and her blog. Tea for Birds, below, my favorite! I love the rich colors.
