This is what i'm hoping to knit while i'm out of it. I just put in a lifeline... We'll see he it comes in handy

Inspiration of the Day

since i'm leaving in a month and want to take my family's brita water tank with me, i promised to find a replacement for them to keep. since i couldn't remember the word 'tank' i went to search google images for brita stuff...

and came across these ads.
why did i never see these before? they're very stark, disturbing and highly impactful, in a minimalistic way. advertisement at its best.

It's official. :)

Inspiration of the Night

The sunrise through my window. i drank coffee that was too strong and didn't sleep a wink last night. but i dreamt- or perhaps i had visions, sudden inspiration for things i want to do when the sun is out. i thought to myself: today is a month since the summer solstice. what have i done these past thirty days?
I wish ideas were a body fluid- they could cut me open and drain my brain when i get bloated, and put it all in little vials for cold storage. and when the time was right i could find the ideas, all nicely bottled up, and i'd actually do something with them. but in their current state, i can't do too much: the ones i don't get around to harvesting, they slosh around in my head til they spoil and fall from recollection.
But i guess that's the purpose of writing things down.

Inspiration of the Day

This is a close up of my Inspiration Corner! It's a collection of my old school ID cards, business cards and promo stuff, movie tickets, and used gift cards i stole from my job >3<. Here we have two awesome little 'gifts' from my SO: a photo he took for a class, which portrays a bunch of yarny things he had(or stole) at the time, and my corsage from prom. :) is this all going to come to college with me?!¿¡?!

Inspiration of the Day which also happens to be an FO.

I kind of regret this yarn, but not the typical buyer's regret- i bought it on a wednesday and had a new, next- to-skin-soft-but-surprisingly-Noro scarf on thursday evening.
The yarn is Noro Taiyo in colorway #4. while i was working on it i couldn't help but think of all the sweet summer treats the colors called to mind- neopolitan ice cream, watermelon, sasaparilla root beer on ice... and a bunch of things i can't eat right now! XD
Yes, I'm on a diet, but it's a not a weight focused diet so much as an "improving well being thru limiting very specific foods" diet. which is hard enough anyways. i hope you are all well, or at least enough so that you don't have to avoid yummy foods like me :0
