sorry. life got very far away from me. today though, i’m home sick, so i thought i’d give a hello!

there are certainly things to catch up on, and i’m going to start with what’s come of last january. my neighbor came up with the idea for a new years resolution of making at least one garment a month. i’ve had a good time with that! with just one more month left, i’m pretty pleased with what i’ve created.  [though i did get a new computer, and seem to be missing photos of some of the shirts that i made. odd.]

Screen Shot 2015-11-11 at 3.44.03 PM IMG_6138IMG_5379hats!!! i’m on a serious hat making kick. i’m working on matching hats for a bunch of my favorite peoples… i’m working on the mister’s right now since he keeps trying to steal this here “funfetti” hat. i’ve been using madeline tosh yarn. it’s a dream. i have a sweater that i started LAST october, but i’ve stopped working on it. the friend who was helping me has fallen away a bit, and i’ve let that be my excuse for working on other projects…

IMG_5308you will notice that i have a lot of nani iro fabric. i could swim in it!

IMG_5630i know. i look like a killer for hire in this photo, but the shirt is nice!

IMG_5469ah merchant and mills.

IMG_5874i’m obsessed with this cotton and steel print. it looks like ritz crackers. i used this fabric as the base for a set of cloths that i made for my favorite chileans. the mister wrangled research money, and got to stay with our best friends in santiago. yes. yes i was/am jealous.

IMG_6019these are from a pattern that i made up based on a shirt that i already have.

IMG_5959IMG_5973some of the recipients in all their splendor.

IMG_6103my first time making pleats. their not amazing, but they will only get better from here. i hope.

IMG_6078aaaand. while this is not so much a garment, i did make my first weaving! a little less than stellar, but i’m okay with that as a first attempt.

fertig.

iranian new year, norooz

last week was norooz, iranian new year, and i planned on going home to celebrate with my family. as fate would have it though, i caught a nasty cold, and a lingering fever kept me here in vermont. there are only three other iranians in the whole state. [unconfirment, but those are my feelings, and feelings, as they say, are fact.] i went over to a friends house on the day i was supposed to catch my train, and i was greeted by this.

IMG_5506she set up a haft-sin for me! that’s what i call a good friend.

IMG_5509this is our last minute haft-sin that i bought wheat grass for because i didn’t know i’d need to make my own. oppie.

IMG_3588last year’s haft-sin in berlin. eddie was in the u.k., so i actually had the hyacinth which he has banned in our house[s] because the smell makes him angry and hulk-like. also, i was sick last year too. not a theme i’d like to indulge in again.

anynow, happy new year!

fertig.

that’s how you do snowy sundays!

robert frost trail, snow shoe

it has become clear to us over the last few years that i’m not a skier. so, if we ever want to do outdoor activities together, we had to come up with something other speeding down a mountain on a piece of compressed fiberglass.

enter…SNOW SHOEING!!!!!

so, we went up to the robert frost trail yesterday to tromp around. it was glorious.

it’s not secret that all things being equal, i’d rather not live in vermont. that said, i can’t deny that i’m into the scenery. i basically live in a postcard.

snow

we had our first snow storm this past wednesday. it was fun, and it was real!!, 16″. we tromped up one of the college hills with a friend, had snow balls thrown at us by some students, and flew down the hill on our ever so fancy wooden sled.

IMG_3242last years berlin snow. it didn’t lead to impressive snow men,  but of course i miss it.

IMG_5101our wednesday snow was killer sparkly. super pretty.

balitimore, ice cream, the charmery

i’m getting tired of paris. not the real paris, but blogging about paris. perhaps it’s that i’m in a different head space, back in the states, sick in bed. but i’ve decided to throw linear time to the wind and post things in random, “i’m thinking about them” order.

to that end, today, i’d like to talk about ICE CREAM!!!!! specifically, about The Charmery. it’s a GREAT ice cream spot in hampden baltimore. full disclosure, laura, dov, and by extension baby maggie are some of my favorite, and best people. i’ve know them for eleven years now [yikes!], and as long as i’ve know them, they’ve been working towards opening an ice cream shop. hells bells, they’ve been working on this since college! also, dov thinks he’s the funny one, but everyone knows, it’s laura.

fresh off the boat, but with a cold, so i couldn’t snuggle with baby maggie, boo, i beelined for baltimore. when last i was in the states, they had just started construction on the building, and now, here, just over one year later, they’ve got huge lines, awards, and some of the best ice cream i’ve ever had. and i lived in san francisco. it was so exciting to see this come to life that i nearly jumped out of my skin.

also, after ELEVEN years of promising me that he’d do, dov made me earl grey ice cream. he was skeptical, but if the yelp reviews are anything to go by, the earl of sepi ice cream was a hit!

le louvre, le mosquee

so. we went to the louvre on a cold and rainy day. not perfect for standing outside in line for three hours to get in, but hey, if i took anything away from our time in paris, it’s that you have to wait in line. a lot.

IMG_4834 IMG_4835 IMG_4836 IMG_4842 IMG_4843 IMG_4848 IMG_4851 IMG_4853 IMG_4854 IMG_4857 IMG_4861 IMG_4874 IMG_4875 IMG_4879 i come by my nose honestly as you can see. [tiles from persepolis]IMG_4880 IMG_4892 IMG_4893 IMG_4897creeeeeeepy. IMG_4903 IMG_4904 IMG_4907 IMG_4908 IMG_4909

after the louvre, we went to eat at le mosquée. the food was delicious, and the building amazing.IMG_4943 IMG_4942 IMG_4941 IMG_4940 IMG_4939 IMG_4938 IMG_4937 IMG_4936 IMG_4935 IMG_4934 IMG_4933 IMG_4932 IMG_4931fertig.
