my sendak pierre series buttons and magnets were a big hit so i was thrilled when i spied a discarded chicken soup with rice at fred on sunday. today i got through step one - choosing and cutting the circles. i know i will enjoy step two and i'll be back with photos when i complete the pins and magnets.

7.10.11 ... simplicity

Img_1055

tonight i made flour tortillas and green chili beef burritos. we are working on a new puzzle that is insanely difficult. i don't have photos of either one because it is night time but i wanted to share this one from the other day anyway. i didn't have room for it on friday. this is how i sent these buttons along to their new owner. i love how this turned out. hope your day was fabulous. we have a crazy busy day tomorrow. hold good thoughts for me, please. :)

7.7.11 ... sendak buttons - pierre

Sendakii

late last night right before i turned off my phone, i had a sale in joonbeam. it was my pierre set of pinback buttons. after i thanked the buyer she sent a reply asking if i ever made more to let her know. i had only made the one set to try them out but i had a few circles cut so i made two more sets. this one you see above with pierre standing on his head a la 'i don't care' and his mother getting ready to leave him there and this one below ...

Sendakiii

... with pierre, his mother and father and the lion who ate him! the buyer chose this second set so i will list the other one as soon as i have a few moments. they are made using salvaged vintage book images from a book that is too well loved to remain intact but too well loved to be thrown to the landfill or recycling bin.

tomorrow and saturday are big days here as scout is attending the pixar master class. so exciting. i'll see you again tomorrow night. sweet dreams, everyone. thanks for stopping by. until tomorrow. happiness to you. from me. with heart. ox joon

4.8.11 ... maurice sendak pierre buttons

Img_5433

as you might imagine i had some fun with these, the first set in my limited run from a vintage, discarded library edition of pierre by maurice sendak. what is your favorite line from the book? it's hard to choose. the folding chair always kills me.

little cricket is still very ill and we're trying our hardest to get enough food into her to help her mend well and quickly as possible. we haven't managed to get a full can down her so i worry but we are doing what we can. i think we all just have to settle into a groove, none of us knowing what we are doing. it just breaks my heart to see her in such a critical state. we learned how to administer sub Q IV today and will add that to our regiment tomorrow. life is an adventure even in your own back yard.

sweet dreams, everyone. thanks for stopping by. until tomorrow. happiness to you. from me. with heart. ox joon

4.7.11 ... pierre ... and cricket comes home

Img_5419

i continued working on my pierre project that i started on yesterday. stage two i suppose we can call this. i cut circles to make magnets and pins and i made a pile of extra pieces for another project. i love these images.

Img_5426

if i had a nickel for every time i read this story. such fun. this book is a discard from a school library so its condition is no longer viable in its original state. but look how much new life a potential piece of trash/recycling can have. and i am only beginning.

Img_5429

in other news, cricket came home for the evening in a trial experiment. she is a fighter. i cannot believe the will she has, given the critical condition she has been and continues to be in all week. she is very weak and has a long way to go but we are not giving up on her. here she is this afternoon with scout who was learning how to syringe feed her. we left her for the afternoon to complete her iv hydration and went back for her at closing time.

Cricketscout

and here's what she and scoutie look like right now ...

Cricketnight1

how sweet is this? and, by the way, love my iphone. or as i call it, my pony. i hope we all get a good night's rest. but either way, we're all together and that's a happy night.

sweet dreams, everyone. thanks for stopping by. until tomorrow. happiness to you. from me. with heart. ox joon

LoVe is what brings us ToGetHeR


Hello 2010. I'm a little late to the party and have some catching up to do. I have plenty of photos and will start with these. Our holidays were lovely. Hope yours were, too. I went on a magnet making spree and enjoyed myself tremendously. Here is one set I made for Jon Cody and Val ~ our family newlyweds. How adorable is this? I've been saving the image and accompanying text forever. They are from a very old Maurice Sendak illustrated children's book. I added the red accents and used a collage technique on both magnets.



I love the serendipity of this ... the photo background is our Christmas card from ... Val and Jon Cody! How perfect is it? It's a sign. I hope they will enjoy this teeny tiny gift with the great big heart for many years to come in good health and happiness.



I used my new iPhone ~ a.k.a pony ~ to shoot a fun photo of the ephemeral element of Christmas. I wish the tree could last all year long. I guess that's what makes it all the more special. I'll be back soon with more of my handmade Christmas magnets soon. Peace to you all in this new year. Full of promise and surprise. Here's to a delightful adventure into twenty ten.
