sorry for the radio silence around these parts...there's a lot going on in my personal life (including dealing with a clingy, nearly walking, never sleeping baby who is cutting her EIGHTH chomper (!!!) plus infuriating apartment dramas & more tragic stuff, sadly) at the moment.
so, there's so little time to write. much to my chagrin. woo boy, do i ever have things to write! i'm dying to write, to share, to say something, get a discourse going. but can't, really, not much. just lame stuff like this. no time! no energy! alas. *sigh*
i hope to return to my semi-regular postings soon (wardrobe_remix(ers) o' the week, etc.). patience is a virtue, ya?
anyway.
how are you?
busy too? enjoying the summer (or winter?)?
i hope so.
be well.
my colorful life
today pete, poppy and i took a walk over to the new high line park, on manhattan's west side. it opened to the public this weekend, and it's gorgeous. the way it flows, melding studied organic patches with the new construction and man-made, patina-ed old bits is just breathtaking. the whole thing is a work of art...and i feel like it opened at just the right time, when the economy is uncertain but people want to go out and still enjoy things. little things, like catching a nice view on a beautiful day and taking in the city and parts nearby, all whilst on a simple walk...things that are free for the taking in a time when dollars are short(er).
on the way there and back, and to the big apple bbq @ madison square park, i snapped pics of what caught my eye. results are above, natch.
hope you all are having a good weekend, wherever you are, whatever you are doing!
p.s. sorry the w_r o' the week post didn't get out this past thursday...things have been a bit nuts around here (heh, what's new?)...
p.p.s. i am still adding to my @ tumblr as time allows. *grin*
handmade is the {new new} black
love, love, love the sentiment on this lightweight tote bag i got at the renegade craft fair in brooklyn last weekend. nice, eh?
'tis made by these folks: the {new new} ny, a new-york-city-based collective whose manifesto is as follows (quoted from their site):
"...an eclectic group of independent artists in the Metro New York area devoted to fostering a creative and supportive environment among its members. The group encourages a spirit of camaraderie through craftsmanship and strives to help its members achieve success on both a personal and professional level. Members come from many different backgrounds and produce fine, handcrafted goods including clothing, home décor, jewelry, accessories, paper goods, bath and body products, toys, and baked goods. Everything is designed and produced locally by the talented artists of The {NewNew}."
