Eye of the storm.

Although I hope not. The last week has felt a bit more manageable. There are a few gaps opening up here and there on my calendar and my classes are more manageable than usual. So I give you images of the shirts I made for my niece and nephew in-law. Plus images of our work on our loft.

Both shirts were made from a Japanese pattern book I got in SF Japan Town. The entire text is in Japanese, but the illustrations are so good that you can puzzle out the directions.

I made Guthrie’s shirt out of an old shirt that Jake was going to send to Goodwill.

We moved our sleeping arrangements out of the upper loft down into the living space. The cats and warmer temperature of the loft made sleeping increasingly difficult. So last weekend, we took a trip to Ikea, forked over a bit of $ and transformed the space. The screen is something I redid. The iron frame had this awful discolored jute (or something) fabric. The fabric you see was something one of our designer neighbors put out into the hall one day. Serendipity, it matches my wall.

Dear Neighbor

Two words, sleep deprivation.

Sincerely,

Your very cranky neighbor.
