bits

a few things i'm loving right now:

* blur.  still, i'm loving blur.  all sorts of blur.  see some here.

* this (found via curious bird) is brilliant.  and i must have one.  or two.  right now.

* martha was kind enough to be a guest at echoes last friday, and the piece she created is incredible and inspiring and i don't want to stop looking at it.  go see.  and then go read about her process.  it's awesome.  as is she.

* this song.

* alicia shared a whole bunch of links for list lovers.  i'm a list lover.  i've been making my lists on yellow steno pads lately, but i just bought myself some padding compound and i have some ideas.

* this photo of shari's.

* this.

* my new hula hoop.  (i didn't make this one, but i did recently read instructions for making your own over here.)

happy monday!

Thank you Emily (and Leya) for that camera cover link. Need me one of those, pronto!

love the list. and the hula. i used one that had water in it at a fair a few months ago and it made a huge difference in my ability to keep it in the air --- something about the sloshing fluid holding its own... your picture makes me want to try one of these again!

you're sweet. thanks. also, you have reminded me to get out our hula hoops. such summer fun. xo

[martha]

thank you for inviting me emily -it was super fun to do something completely different for a change:)

I am impressed that you can hula hoop. I have never been able to make it go around even once.

Great compilation of goodness, Emily.

But the very best part is the hula hoop photo. Really the best.

Lots of lovely treats! I especially love the collections of lists, so good.

Also, there is a little award waiting for you over at my blog. I really love popping in to your space for inspiration and lots of head nodding. Thanks!
