La fin de la semaine!

1. Cruising to the hardware stores in Talulah. Rolling around corners like an ocean going vessel. Laughing out loud. Happy place.

2. Having the dogs on board. Farley sits sharp and Penelope hunts for crumbs.
3. Haunting the plant sections in the hardware stores and coming home with a new vine or two, cinder blocks, floor mouldings, painters tape…
4. Working on the hippocampus belt buckle! She sits 3/4 finished out in the studio!
5. Hanging the wet laundry to dry.
6. Ten fast miles on foot. Two hours on a yoga mat. 17 cups of tea. Dark chocolate. Popcorn.
7. Olympics. Ice dance, specifically. “I’ve been everywhere man….”
8. A hot bath infused with eucalyptus and Hulu.com.
9. Supporting THIS girl by finally purchasing her album with an iTunes giftcard Mme sent me as a Valentine. Lovelove.
10. Finally, almost getting Christmas presents together for a handful of gals who have been so doggone patient.
11. Nine pairs of Specimen Earrings.
12. Homemade pizza. Spinach salad. Leg warmers.
13. One tall gin & tonic with extra lime.
14. Watching the squirrel tree with Farley on the Idaho State University campus: There’s this tree and it has a hole and every time we walk past it, between five and seven squirrels pour forth from the hole and I always fall down into the frozen grasstips and laugh hysterically.
15. Feathered do-hickies.
16. Transplanting the orchids.
17. Planning to catch up on my blogosphere readings but failing miserably and playing around outside in the sun beneath an Idaho blue sky instead.
18. A Saturday morning sleep in.
19. Ignoring my phone (though that’s not out of the ordinary).
20. Ink and paper and a plan for a silver swan.
Here’s hoping your weekend was swell!
Yee haw,
J
PS Oh no. I just acquired hockey depression…

PPS Just in case you want to witness the amazingness (I wish I was a the gal that made her that earring):

  5. HAHAHAH! Sorry. But I couldn't get past the "censored" photo!!!!

  6. The Noisy Plume: says

    I like to treat Farley's manhood with respect.

  7. Anji Gallanos says

    Yes..playing in the sun the glorious sun. A great weekend.

    I also love the term "Feathered do hickies". If I ever start a band think I will name it just that. Glad you had a great weekend.

  8. jessicajane says

    loving your list!

    imogen….oh imogen. you ever hear a song or smell a scent and it takes you back to a certain time? just hearing her voice reminds me of the year when i met my husband and would drive 50 minutes in the middle of winter, just to visit him. with imogen blasting in my ears in my all white leather interior 92' buick riviera. ahh good times.

  9. Hey, I like this post.

    Go you!

    Go weekend!

    Go Talulah!

    My weekend was super fast and a little less productive, but still good. Have a great week!

  10. Abigail Jasmine says

    Your scarf is lovely..and I dream of having a VW someday..*sigh*

    Hugs to you sistah!
    Have a great week…

    Love your work!

  11. Gabriela Hughes says

    I just read carefully your post and found the name of the singer, Imogen Heap is for this I has removed my post where I was asking her name. Love her!!!!

  12. That's one delectable and magnificent list!

    & regarding Imogen…she Needs to be wearing your jewelry!

    you'll make it happen 😉

  13. HouseThatCrowBuilt says

    Love the sensored Farley, lol. You always reminded me of Imogen Heap. Lulu is right about her needing to be wearing some of your jewelry!

  14. 1. Could you be so kind as to bottle a few drams of your energy and send it my way?

    2. One tall gin & tonic with EXTRA lime…ahhhhhhhhh. Even more so in summer!

    3. Cascading squirrels!…ha ha hahahahahaaaa! Uumaa would go nuts.

    4. Kitten + finches = more feathered do-hickies. But hey, why not a kitten AND a buffalo AND finches??? Seed stock for the farm.

    5. What delicious slices of life!

    XO

  15. Oh, and how about a Speedo suit for Farley?

  16. Omigosh! Thanks for the great laugh … Farley in a Speedo!

    Maybe a pair of board shorts instead? Speedos are still a bit revealing.

  17. Desiree Fawn says

    Busy bee!

  18. Wow, now that's a great weekend! I did a little of #5 myself. And I saw that Ice Dance performance, specifically the one with that song you quoted…they were fabulous! I'm sorry about the hockey depression. I was watching bobsledding and they interrupted for "breaking news" to report the US had beaten Canada in hockey. I've never seen such a sea of unhappy Canadians all decked out in red. 🙁

    ps. I too love the censorship over Farley's manhood. But the photo totally made me laugh out loud!

  19. mme. bookling says

    (thanks for the traffic 😉 )

  20. Melissa-Ann says

    I love her eyebrows, ( imogens)

  21. I'm impressed with 5 and 6. Where do your hang your wet laundry to dry in the middle of winter? Or is your weather really that glorious? And that's a lot of miles and yoga time and cups of tea. Wow. Sounds like a weekend perfectly fit for you.

  22. I think Farley should have to wear shorts when he visits. Maybe matching black shorts with Rob?

  23. Redbonegirl97 says

    I love the weekend. I am looking forward to this one for my favorite thing to do. BE ALONE!!! Lol!

    Thanks for all these glorious comments, little junkos and thrushes and chickadees (that's the sort of bird traffic I'm witnessing at the birdfeeder as I type this). A GORGEOUSLY crisp morning here in Idaho today! I'm aloft on a generous set of alabaster wings and am preparing to swoop through the day.

    There's so much joy in knowing that you're here with me.

    A new post in a few minutes.
    New jewelry in a while.
    A hot cup of tea.
    AND YES, Imogen does have lovely eyebrows.

    You're my favorite raven.
