Sharing the love.


I'm feeling inspired to make stuff again.

Yesterday the wedding flautist and her husband came over to be guinea pigs in my first attempt at replicating Indian chai, and also because we are putting together a care package for a mutual friend who is at camp. I'm pretty pleased with the swag she's getting from me, especially my (finally finished) SoX Nouveaux!



If you stare at them long enough, you can see 3D dolphins.

I always have a hard time overcoming the "do people really want this shit?" barrier when I make stuff, be it garments or food or whatever, for others. Nonetheless, the chai turned out well, and somehow hanging out with an architect and a musician all afternoon left me feeling creative. I decided to paint my living room tangerine, but since the hardware store was closed, I instead started knitting a secret gift for one of the many couples I know who are getting married this year. By the time I got going on that, I was way late to the birthday party I was supposed to go to, and big-time on a using-my-brain-for-good roll. So I skipped the party and sat down and wrote some code (hell ya...) and came up with some good ideas for my research, and then I knitted up a storm till like 3am. Yeah...I'm cool.
