The post I never thought I'd post

Socks sits behind my machine while I sew
When you start a blog, you forget that you might have to post a few personal, possibly embarrassing things. You know, like how you have a Ren & Stimpy memorabilia collection, or that you really really love flannel sheets. Or that, if for any reason you find yourself alone in life, you will become that crazy cat lady.  
Don't get me wrong, I like dogs too. But when we first moved in together, the boyfriend and I decided to get a couple cats to come home to (as if we weren't enough for each other) and dogs just aren't practical for a New York apartment and lifestyle. Anyway, we love the little rascals. Their names are Socks and Fiona.
Today I'm letting you glimpse into the life of Socks. She's lying on her back on my lap as I attempt to type this, and she's snoring. This cat is ridiculous yet totally makes my day. She is always in everything. Everything! And I have about a gagillion pictures to prove it. Today's theme is the desk. It turns out that training a cat to not do something is quite a futile effort. 

But it's cool. I've come to grips with it. I've also invested in lint rollers

Rag Rug Pillows

Today I was taking inventory of all the things I've made; stuff that I haven't taken pictures of, things that need to be sold, materials yet to be used. It's been a crazy day.

I have these 26" square pillows on the bed that don't have pillow cases yet. I picked up a couple of the rag rugs that haven't sold yet and threw them over the pillows and holy crap they look awesome! Maybe a new line of pillow cases??

Art deco detail inspiration

Yesterday I was walking up 7th Avenue to a shop in the fashion district. Most of the buildings in that area are not exactly in the best of shape and can be *yawn* a bit boring to the eye. Lately, I have been obsessing over anything art deco inspired, so my eye has been trained to pick out anything remotely like it.

Lo and behold! Above the revolving door of this plain building was a super cool detail.

Thankfully I had my trusty boyfriend #2 to get the far away shot.
