I have a stool collection... it's OK you can laugh!

I have a stool collection. These are just a few of the 18 stools I currently own. It all started quite innocently about 10 years ago when I won an Eames Walnut Stool at the Designer's Showcase House in San Francisco. Then I got a red Tam Tam stool online. The next stool I purchased was a Capelli stool from Herman Miller. Once I had 3 stools I guess it officially became a collection. So anyway I saw this greeting card yesterday and had to have it - it's so funny!

Not sure what the next stool purchase will be- we're running out of room. Most of the stools are on top of a bookcase in the living room and the remainder are scattered around the house. Hell - it's better than doing drugs, right?

Oh and Joel started and has almost completed his own collection: Kidrobot Yummy Donuts. More on that later.

I work in a freakin' sweatshop

I'm gonna complain to my boss. I work in a freakin' sweatshop. Buttons! Necklaces! Notecards! Faster! More! Oh Frederico!!! Uh wait a minute... oh that's right... that's the sound I hear from our neighbors downstairs... different subject. Anyway, I am my boss. I am the boss of me. I have a ton of crap to make before these 2 upcoming shows. Nevermind that I'd rather read a book or knit or go outside and enjoy this crisp almost winter-like weather. SCREW IT - I'm taking tomorrow off. Well not really but I will take most of tomorrow off. Right after I set up about 36 necklaces for my Husband/slave to work on Monday. Hey, at least I've got help!

Oh and check out the awesome Thanksgiving Turkey cake my Aunt brought to dinner - so cool!

Meet P1UON at 2 upcoming shows in NYC! Shop handmade!

give handmade gifts for the holidays

the final countdown

WOW... tomorrow is my birthday. I finally got some good use out of the Loehmann's 15% Birthday Discount... every year I search for hours for bargains and come up empty handed. This year I scored... Cosabella undies and Taryn shoes. Just what a girl needs!

Oh... and I bought myself a present at the Kartell sale... have a look-see here. I found the "Saint Esprit" tree trunk stool on ebay a coupla years ago. I got "Napoleon" this morning. As ridiculous as it sounds, I have a pretty extensive stool collection.

Spain was AWESOME. I'm still organizing and labeling my photos on Flickr. I'll post a link once I'm done.

We had such a good time... Madrid > Bilbao > San Sebastian > Barcelona > Valencia > Madrid > home.

Here's a teaser... a photo of the Guggenheim Bilbao during the hourly fog sculpture. That museum is truly amazing. I think I might be morphing into a Frank Gehry fan.

my 2nd design published - lemme introduce to you the "neck thing"

my 2nd design for knit.1 magazine - this is a "gaiter" aka a "neck thing" or a "scarflet" or "neckwrap" or "cowl." call it what you will - it was a quick knit on big fat needles - the yarn is fluffy and lofty and the giant horseshoe cable adds texture to the loopy yarn.

this is in the fall 2007 knit.1 magazine - there are some very cool patterns in there (in addition to mine!) - you should run out and get a copy ASAP.

time to [collect] the donuts
