Wooly Pocket
Woolly Pocket Garden Company and the blog. I am thinking of all the ways I could use something like this! Fantastic.
O color trends
Found this interesting post on COLOURlovers ... a look at the last year of O Magazine covers and their color trends.
p.s. My head is hurting. My brain is numb from trying to build my final project website ... I just can't seem to remember anything I learned this year and I am starting to panic.

Prison Penpals
I was searching for something in my blog for someone and ran across this post from March 2008 that I guess I never published but it is still pretty interesing.
You could have your own prison penpal.
Or you could meet your inmate, at any age ... is this real?
Or there is always inmates for you. !!!!
"InmatesForYou.com provides a user friendly, searchable database for which to correspond with those that are in county, state or federal prisons across the US. We charge a nominal fee to help with the time and costs involved in maintaining the website, sending out mailers and fulfilling orders.
Not only do I communicate with the inmates listed within here as a service provider, but I have also had the opportunity to reply back to personal letters written directly to me. This has aided me in getting to know more about what prison life is like. I can honestly say there are sincere, caring women in prison who want nothing more than a pen pal or friend to correspond with. Some may even look to you as more than a friend and possible partner in a relationship. Either way there is someone out there for all of us."
Honestly, if you just google "prisoners photos" there are more sites than I can list here. I am have written a email to ask about this and am investigating this further. I think this is very, very odd. And definitely needs some more research.

A garden approach
Found a couple of interesting things while paging through Pacific Northwest Magazine today.
Held in September, an innovative garden show that I would loved to have gone to ... The Late Show Gardens, photos by Saxon Holt, this amazing table! "Future Feast in The Garden Of Flow / Accumulation" by Suzanne Biaggi and Patrick Picard at The Late Show Gardens".
Then I ended up at Garden Design photo gallery (and the blog) where I spied one little thing in a photo will make your heart stop. It happened when I was going through the photo gallery of "David Winston Flowers takes a modern approach to decorating for the holidays". I saw this chandelier! The description is rich: "The crowning glory of the room is the chandelier (shown in detail above). The drum-shaped framework of aluminum and wire, 30 inches across and 38 inches tall, was created to fit over the existing light fixture. It took three people two days to meticulously attach its tiny jewels - pine needles, hemlock cones, Mylar snowflakes, faux gems and Hypericum berries."

Falling into winter
It rained all November! December, just dipped into the 30's. I have been so busy with school, work and stuff going on that I feel like I haven't been spending enough time blogging. I am going through my drafts this morning (hundreds of them) and found this.
Mari Andrews
I remember feeling like I could do a big backwards flip when I first discovered Mari Andrews ... and just felt the same way when I saw her work on the most wonderful art blog, Dear Ada. Thank you!

One Lil' Waif at a Time
Remember Lil' Waif, where we found our Pixel? They have a new book out
Timmy’s Rescue: One Lil’ Waif at a Time: "is a true story about finding inspiration and gifts of friendship. Now, when people ask, "Just how did you get involved in rescue?" this story, can be our answer... Watching our book evolve while patiently wading through the publishing process has been a worthwhile venture and now we're ready to share it. It's done! It's finally here. Time to spread the word and begin our adventure into the book-world; we're excited! We hope you are too.'

Sleepy head
Pixel sleeps between D and me ... this morning I woke her up by accident. No matter, she went right back to sleep.
And my friend Robin has a new puppy, "Monkey". With her monkey sweater.

I am getting hungry!
Do you know how much I love brussel sprouts, and how good this recipe for balsamic braised brussels with pancetta looks! From Smitten Kitchen (and don't miss the cappuccino fudge cheesecake while you are there). Well, it all makes me hungry.

Stocking stuffers
Going to get my son this TODO-TATTOO™, he needs something like this to get him through his chores. He keeps telling me to make him a list. I say, make your own list.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS leaf installation by Luzinterruptus. Found at MoCo - "Imagine the magic of autumn leaves afloat just above the ground, seemingly lifted by light. Then blink again, and they are still there." Photo by Gustavo Sanabria.
