Fashionable Friends . . .

You know those friends you love too much to hate?

Well, here ya go! 

My friend Lora is ROCKIN' IT @ Aspen International Fashion Week!

She's the lovely on the left and, yes, don't hate me because I'm beautiful.

She is definitely beautiful, but don't let the fur fool ya!

She's a pretty on the inside as she is on the outside!

I just HATE that I'm not her sidekick at THIS shindig!

Rubbing elbows with more loveliness!

Well Now . . .

Chair by Matteo Zamboni found HERE via HERE... VERY COOL! Strangely attracted.

I know, I've been the worst blogger.

"Don't just sit there like a knot chair on a log!" 

B'log Chair : ) haha SORRY, couldn't resist!

But just so ya know, Crush Cul de Sac is rockin' full of new pics. I've just had nothin' say, so... that's exactly why I created CCdS. Hop on over and go browse, but while you're there, also check out my others: Counting Stone Sheep and Rooney's Style File.

 

OMG! I just realized Crush Cul de Sac = CCDS (Charlotte Country Day School)!

Oh No! My babies went to Charlotte Latin School! How could this happen? What a trader!

Blaaa Blaaa Blaaag Sheep !

Recently, in an early January confession post, I apologized for
my little addiction and my lack of memory.
Well, it's worse than I admitted...


I've added yet one more blog to the roster.

This one's dedicated to knitting visual inspiration.

It's a tumblr log of all the wonderful images that fill up my computer.

Again, I'm making space and saving it elsewhere to share with you guys.

Have a visit and bookmark it for when you can't sleep!

~ Counting Stone Sheep ~

Of course I'm still making stuff HERE.

Stitch Poet Patterns live HERE.

My Crush Party, psst, you're already HERE.

The After Party, Crush Cul de Sac, is HERE.

I still blog for Rooney Robison Antiques HERE,

and have added an Interiors tumblr for her HERE.
I still have my other blogging clients that I'm not allowed to mix up

Sometimes I can't keep it all straight and you'll find a

hand-knit cabled cowl blogged in with a French antique farm table.

OOPS! Sorry : )

Let's Go Parkin' . . .

Have you parked in my TUMBLR, CRUSH CUL de SAC, lately??

Cuz that's about all I've got time for.

Who is going to do my Christmas shopping for Pete's sake??!!

Don't Forget About the After Party !

Come check out more inspiring photos on ~ tumblr ~

and I finally put up a ~ facebook ~ page for my little Crush Party!

I'm not going to link it to the Cul de Sac on Tumblr though, 

as it might just blow up your news feed. 

...It's fun picture browsing if you can't sleep (Shannon!)...

Fancy This . . .

...Fancy That...

...current crush at work...

...this sweet little match strike...

...wonder why I have not brought this little guy home...

If ~ Katie Armour ~ of ~ MatchBook ~ was one of my girly-girls,

I'd give her this for her birthday! Don't you know she has a 

chic little coffee table with her own collection!

(don't forget her tumblr, Rooney's Style File Tumblr and my Crush Cul de Sac !)

  

Ah HA !

Remember this cardigan from ~ Do you RUE ~

I've not seen it yet on ~ Anthropologie ~ as ~ RUE ~ reported I would...

But I did just bookmarked it on ~ Free People ~

Now, unless you have the knitting disease like I do, you might want to go ahead and order it and release your inner love child! It's only $178 and I promise you'll have at least that invested if you use ~ Rowan Kid Silk Haze ~ and count your hourly investment. It's no small, instant gratification project.

I think I have yarn for this little number too!

I might make mine a little more A-line and a little less huggy.

How about ~ Noro Taiyo ~ in color #20

I've got 3 skeins!

and can add some bias cut cotton fabric remnants!

Groovie! Right?

Peace Out!

See you tomorrow!

Lots of posting going on in my Tumblr!

Swing by!

M I B . . . Missing In Blogger !

...I've been a wee bit obsessed over my stitches of late...

I noticed today that I hadn't posted a thing on CrushParty since Sunday... WHAT?! How could that be... I've posted a little in the ~ Cul de Sac ~ and set up a "Style File" in Tumblr for ~ Rooney Robison Antiques ~ but looks like CrushParty is this week's red-headed-step-child. I'm so anxious to get to the leafy part of my needlepoint. The blues and greens... I can't hardly stand it! I'm so obsessed. My fingers are killing me.  I painted this canvas so long ago, but lost interest in it because I hated the blues that I had originally purchased. So, Monday night with the girls and The Bachelor, instead of knitting, I picked out all of the blue that had already been stitched and went Tuesday to get new blues and greens. The rest is...well, the rest of my week. I think Tuesday I stayed up until 3am (was that it Woozie... she was up too writing on my facebook wall!) So here I stitch and not blog. Sorry...did you even miss me? Ok, don't answer that...

Green . . . Grey . . .

...and a new favorite tumblr...

~ Modern Hepburn ~

Bookmarked . . .

Thank you so much for reading my blog!

One Door Closes . . .

...And another gets a paint job...

I just ran across this photo in one of my favorite tumblrs, 

~ Crumpled Envelope. ~

I have the same photo (and more) from this house torn from a magazine and stored in my "if we ever have our mountain house" file. I think this is what sparked the idea to paint the closet doors in our entry hall. They have "what's in here" paintings on each door....

...Behind door No. 1...

Oh my, let's leave this door closed.

All my "stuff" but this is where I

stash my hula hoop!

Can you see the little "stuff" in the nest?

...There's something for all of us...

...Can you find...

...Jeff's guitar string...~ PrettyStuff's ~ Kappa Delta Pin...

...Hobbs's track spike and shoe string...

...my yarn and a needle and thread...

...Behind Door No. 2...

...and empty twig...

...this is a boring closet...

...just a vacuum and some coats...

...Behind Door No. 3...

...this is my yarn closet...

...hence the appropriate "tailor" bird...

...I should probably add a lock to this one...
