   i’m a little obsessed with doilies myself. i think it all stems from the great framed doilies pix featured in blueprint recently. i can’t stop thinking about them!

   (substitute “nkotb” for “doilies” and “tiger beat” for “blueprint”, and this comment sounds remarkably like the journal entries i wrote in sixth grade.)

   ms. spinach: haha, i’m totally with ya! speaking of doilies, i didn’t mention it in the blog, but i found a HUGE cache of doilies yesterday at the thrift store. i’m talkin’, like 20 of them, for about $1-$2 each. so, of course, i bought them ALL. following the crazy need to dye everything, i plan to dye them and the join them all together to make a huge curtain, bedcover, or perhaps even a piece of crazy wall-art. haha, i’m insane.

   jessica: always glad to shout out the good ones. gotta spread the love *and* the word.

   rachael: me too! i would be so happy to hear it was a series. it was incredibly inspiring. i recorded it so i could go back and watch it again later.
