True : who's "normal"?

Rope bag + Wool Snoot

hum... September 12th? Really?!
It took me forever to finish these two projects !

true : you could but you didn't.

seriously. exactly what I'm thinking ten times a day.

half rope / half wool

currently being inspired by linen and sisal twine.
wool totes with heavy duty bottom.

bucolic.

Summer + Mountain

4 days + 10 hours train ride + 4 friends + French Alps + lake swims + home grown mustard greens + goat cheeses + naps + summer sun ....

Pamela and I went to visit the lost boys in the hidden valley... Their hidden paradise. A mind soothing, body exhilirating experience. You sleep, you walk, you swim, you meditate, you pick veggies, you drink wine with friends. You live, quoi.

simple gift for a simple friendship

a simple. beautiful. special. precious. precious. precious frienship. happy birthday BP!

true : your name

God.

Sunday. God's day. Happy praying & happy resting. 

Lizz Hamilton's embroidery art here.

true : we would

Usually, I'm not a big fan of the ''if only''s, but four months without seing my beloved fiance have gotten me a little more nostalgic than normal. It's 3am, French time. You'll excuse me my cheesiness. I'm trying to cope with seperation anxiety ! 

cunning fox - ruse comme un renard

I have been "tumblr-ing'' around for quite a while. At night, just before bed. You know. Watching beautiful pictures the same way others count sheeps to fall asleep.
For some reason, I always end up collecting fox related pictures. I guess I just like foxes. Unfortunately, I don't always recall where the pictures come from... oops. If it's yours, don't be mad please. I'm not a cunning fox. Nor or clever monkey. So just let me know. 

true : do not fear

Playing around with save the date....

Oh how I wish i was getting married tomorrow. But no. No visa!
Just to remind you, I'm French, Lance is American. An Atlantic Ocean of paperwork and authorizations is separating us. But just for now, thank goodness.
So I'm playing around with save the date ideas in the meantime ! Today, I explored the awesome craft blog How About Orange. So many DIY and free tutorials, just like these free downloads of invitations and save the date.

Finally a break ! I just spent the last 2 weeks in the city (beautiful, gorgeous city, but still just a city), working working, working. I got at my parents at 2pm today and was picking cherries at 4. Now that's what I call a proper Sunday.
