I’m very excited about my newest project. I bought a pair of knock off chuck taylors, and spent 10 minutes with very sharp scissors and my favorite pair of eyebrow tweezers ripping out the only visible logo. While my friend Molly talked to me, I scoured my new Mucha book for inspiration, to come up with a plan.
Here is my plan. I am making a pair of Alphonse Mucha inspired electric blue sneakers. I sketched out the shoes briefly, and I think I am going to start painting them tonight. If you don’t know who Mucha is, he is this guy:
They are going to be awesome. Just you wait.
It was a good weekend, and unseasonably warm which means that we could take the kids outside to play. Until Sunday, when the temp dropped like a rock and I almost froze to death because I was wearing thin work out pants and not a coat. Super fun. My in laws were in town for the conference so we got to eat Jack stack and a bag of desserts from Dean and Deluca. A bag. I’m having a hard time writing a coherent update for you, mostly because my stomach thinks it needs more food, and it does NOT.
I managed to get my self out of bed to go to the gym this morning, and even finished every work out I’d set for myself. This is a big deal, as I often leave feeling like I wussed out.
I may dye my hair. Wow. Maybe I had too much coffee this morning and now my brain is melting?
Does Dean and Deluca make yummy treats? I’ve only read them mentioned in the Hannibal Lechter series, but that guy had good taste so I assume the treats are yummy.
If Hannibal Lecter eats there, do you really have to ask? they have divine yummy foods. And a huge pastry case, which my in laws bought OUT. I tried just to take a few bites of each and then leave, but I stayed, and at most of each.
You are soooo creative my dear.
