secrets in a rugless home

i've been thinking a lot about the people across the street lately. particularly the kid who lives in the lower right-hand window. that kid has some very interesting cleaning techniques - shoving all their toys behind the curtain like that. i bet the rest of the room is squeaky. i can't help but imagine the day all those things tumble and crash with all the subtlety of a trainwreck, probably some time in their late twenties.

a few seconds after i took this picture, the remaining blinds in the window above dropped. i guess i'm not the only one watching and wondering. now i feel like a big old creep.

christmas crush.

a stroll through spreepark

ok, first things first: redundant food. is there such a thing as cheese that doesn't put you in a good mood?

bust out the champagne

melanie champagne makes the coolest stuff. she's an emerging montreal-based textile designer (and my friend). her work is the ideal combination of function, quality and style. here are some of her felted hoods modeled by kim reichman and alec sutherland. you can see more at the salon de metiers d'art starting next weekend (http://www.metiers-d-art.qc.ca/smaq/).

and an off-duty plumber costume from ... maybe 10 years ago (i especially like the mustard stain detail on the sweatshirt which unfortunately didn't photograph well):

deus ex sprinklers

There was a three-day cold spell a couple weeks ago. At that point, the vineyard was still green. These pictures were taken the morning after the overhead sprinklers were left on overnight (so that the waterlines wouldn't burst). Each blade of grass was individually preserved.

100% success

this was my sister janine's first ever written phone message. she was six years old. a year later she would go on to attempt the word success on a spelling test. she spelled it: s-e-x-s-e-x.

seems reasonable.
