my weekend...

opening of 'open source embroidery' at the museum of craft and folk art, san francisco

duck noodle soup at racha cafe, berkeley

weaving 'baryshnicat'

steals of deals

i bought these marimekko fabrics at the crate and barrel outlet for only $4.95/yd!! they are originally $32/yd!!! i think they are so pretty! it was a very exciting day...now what should i make?

cuteness

so i'm a little new to this youtube thing, but as i was teaching myself how to play 'tonight you belong to me' on my ukulele, i came across this video....it might just be the cutest thing ever...

rainbows!

while walking back from dinner with my parents the other night, it began pouring rain! it was such a lovely summer shower...the perfect evening temperature. the lake was illuminated with gold flecks of rain and when i turned to walk up the hill i caught this double rainbow! i quickly grabbed my camera and snapped these photos from my balcony. we could actually see the whole rainbow, end to end, but i couldn't get it all in the frame. 'twas nice, though!

bad phone photo of beautiful oakland

i took this photo while walking around lake merritt a while back. it just showcases how amazingly beautiful oakland's weather is almost all the time! i love that i live so close to the lake...even if it does smell like geese.
