There was a thunderstorm today, so you get to see the blank wall above one of my many bookshelves. It won’t be blank for long – soon a (hot pink) flock of seagulls will be there, hopefully not running so far away.
If they flew away, they might look something like this:
I made this vesty/drapey thingy out of the material I reverse tie dyed eons ago. Just referenced a blazer for arm hole distance, snipped away, and viola!
Behind me, for those interested, are such exciting tomes as Identity and the Museum Visitor Experience, Evaluation in Organizations, and Dr. Tatiana’s Sex Advice to All Creation. Actually, that last one is pretty exciting, especially if you’re an Australian redback spider (see “Chapter 6: How to Make Love to a Cannibal”).
But the real star of today’s photos isn’t a book on the sexy sex of animals, but my necklace.
Can you tell what it is? It looks like a mutant Pac-Man, but it’s the outline of Germany and the heart is where The Rocket Scientist is. It’s my early birthday present, and TRS even signed up for an Etsy account to get it. Collective “awww” on three.

















Love the drapey cardigan plus drapey scarfvest! I really thought it was a scarf at first.
Awww!
Wait, was I early?
Love this! Everything about it is awesome — an you really are the queen of scarves!
Oh, that is the sweetest gift ever!
And your self-made vest is the best. (Rhyming is fun).
Double Awww… Good DIYing!!
I can’t help myself–awww! I love the mutant-pac-man/Germany necklace! Too stinkin adorable! And how awesome is that vest that you made and dyed yourself?! Pretty awesome.
I totally “awwwwww”-ed. What a wonderful necklace! And what a wonderful whole look, too, now that we’re at it…
