it's hot. i have so many ideas running around like squirrels, and yet it's hot. hot squirrels. warm rodents! i will crash soon. this is the table AFTER cleaning up. it's not even the work table, it's my dining table. at breakfast!

these are my yellow shorts. they will retire soon, and become paper or an ecoprint, i have found this cotton twill made by gramicci (shameless promotion--but they're so comfortable) to totally suit me. funny that i should wear climbing pants and shorts so much of the time, i'm not a climber. the crotch gusset and the adjustable waist are the secret formula, i think.

some silk scarves that i've printed. i've had a blast using up, experimenting, playing.

bergamot is out, also called bee balm. i love this stuff. it's just starting...

looks edible.

also working on book stuff, but too hot to take pics. time for an afternoon rest. i didn't know today was a day "off" so happy fourth. on the fifth. four days till i leave for maine.

i won, i won, i won! jen at red pumpkin studio blog pulled my name out of the hat for a prize. i will show you when it arrives. her mark making is awesome.

i keep editing this and adding: if you are an indigo lover, you know jenny balfour-paul's book, here's an article about where her research is taking her: http://www.telegraphindia.com/1100428/jsp/frontpage/story_12356202.jsp
