thanks for all the sweet birthday wishes! i'm happy. my studio passed muster with the design review. so i'm one step closer. permit + finding contractor next up. and i have to find where the county office is as i have to turn in a notice of limitation [um yes. no one will be living in the studio no worries].
been thinking lately that i have not taken very many photos. just haven't felt it. kind of sad actually. i miss it. should try and get back into it again. i think part of it is that i don't feel like i have enough time to peruse flickr - so i don't want to upload many shots either. and then i don't take them.
i did take the above shot of my breakfast the other day. it was my attempt to channel jen's simply breakfast . although it's no where near as good as her pictures. i'm a newbie to eating breakfast daily. maybe i should try to mimic what she ate one year ago to the day. day by day. that would be kind of funny. a simply breakfast shadow groupie.
after a couple rounds of pinning in the studio i'm kind of happy with the above potential installation. been talking to someone about a commission. 4 feet of space to fill.... i'll leave this up for a few days and see how i feel about it. then i'll have to switch out the pushpins for real pins. so the doilies can move away from the wall. somehow i feel bad for them pinned flat to the wall. so limited....
anyway - hope you are all having a good wednesday evening.
Aww I think I missed your bday in the midst of my sick pants deluge. So, a belated happy bday!
I'd send you a gift if I could find my wrapping paper in all of my moving boxes! :)
You're right about Jen's photos being something spectacular.
I do really like this photo of yours and am somewhat envious at your yummy meal!!
The doilies, I'm really intrigued by the variety amongst them. I had a thought, that struck me, do you crochet all those too? Surely not. But do you?
4 ft. of those doilies, wow. :)
happy teaching tomorrow!
[well, i guess i wasn't so quiet over here.]
i love your doily cluster. they look so cheery. an optimistic little doily cluster, ahh.
congrats on the studio approval!
hi lisa, i love the soft shades of your doilies. your *channeling* of simply breakfast (yes, jen is so good at that) looks beautiful and delicious. i'm glad you decided on daily breakfasts, esp. if they look as pretty as this one ;)
Hi, I just stopped by and love your blog! :) I've just add you to my favorites. I'll keep passing by!
Happy, happy birthday, dear Lisa. Sorry I'm a few days late. How wonderfully exciting about your studio. I really like the look of your new work. xoxo lj
I like those doilies. I think they'll improved when you move them a little away from the wall and cast some shadows... I'll love to see something like that, the different compositions you'd be coming up with... the different shapes, sizes... colors.
:)
these warm coloured doilies have a very 'homey' feeling - seems fitting for the coming winter.
i wonder if your choice of medium changes with your mood. i think mine does..

Oh you're too modest! Your breakfast shot is delightful in a way only you could make it to be.
Be sure to share what the doilies look like up off the wall! I'd love to see it.
i love your photo, lisa! that breakfast looks really good. is it cream of wheat? your doilies are amazing. love the colors. happy happy belated birthday!!
xoxo
From one non-breakfast eater to another, THAT is a huge feast! ENJOY it!!
Congrats on the progress with the studio. I look forward to hearing about its progress in the months ahead.
I like the new and different shapes and colors of your doilies. It's great that someone else who loves them commissioned you. That way you can do a piece you will love.....
how exciting-
a doilie commission!
so glad
the review
went well.
