sketch

Have you ever been to Sketch Burger, my Philly Friends? DJ and I were debating on where we should have dinner in Leotah's Place yesterday and decided on this joint. Our friend sitting nearby had never been, so I am going to tout its awesomeness.

First, it has great food, not just burgers.

Second, it has yummy deserts and ice cream. DJ and I have our favorite milkshake there: coconut & peanut butter!

Third, they have many vegan/vegetarian options. No really they do, even their treats!

Fourth, you get to decorate the place with your sketches. Here is mine from last year that is still on display by the drink fridge.

yes we came here for our anniversary

So needless to say, you should check this place out. End of plug.

tiny obsession

I have had several conversations lately about the obsession with small or tiny things. Several friends share this obsession and I was asked, what's my latest tiny thing. I had to think hard, because my latest is actually a old one revisited...

In high school my friends and I collected Homies. You could get them from a candy vending machine for 50 cents and they came with a bio. I found one of my Homies after I moved into our new apartment.

 I put him in my last remaining terarium. 

He looks meditative, no?

Other tiny things: cat and dog creamers turned planters
with chicks & hens 

Chicks and hens crowns

Friday morning crafting

Pintrerest has kind of changed my life, in a good way. I have been exposed to so many ideas and people. Here is my attempt at one of the crafts that I saw on this pin.

I followed the steps to break the glass with yarn, nail polish remover, and fire. I could not get the bottom half to break correctly, but one of the bottles had a cool looking top half that got my gears moving. I thought it would make a great planter. I sanded down the edge knotted some hemp rope and stuck a plant in it. It brings some life into our living room that just does not have the space for plants. 

catches the light

I have tried some others, but I am giving them as gifts. I will blog on them after the receive it.
