Friday Mish-Mash
♥ Comments (6) ♥
I wanted to post this huge all inclusive music post about Pitchfork music fest, but instead i’ll spare you the jen-didn’t-want-to-move-much-from-her-chair giant photo post. Instead i’ll give you a mish mash of stuff. Just stuff and things.
Things. Not happy about hearing how Robyn’s package was ripped open by customs. I’m afraid she didn’t get everything i packaged. Also upset she had to pay duty on it, even tho i’m making it gift. Is the post office lying to me? do i need to send the thugs? Or release the hounds! (Mr. Burns style?)
Etsy Stuff:

Robyn sent me some more markers i bought for the pouches and some more samples (you people who send extras are TOO KIND) Her etsy shop can be found here.

She sent along little tags with a cupon code so you can save when you purchase from her. I think you should not pass up on the deal if you need a little gift for someone or for that swap package!

Thank you Robyn, they are beautiful and will dress up the pouches. Also let me know dude, let me know if anything was missing or if they don’t reimburse you.
Sometimes i will be sewing and go to step on the pedal and step into something warm and fuzzy instead. Samuel likes to lay by my serging pedal.

I do have some photos from our weekend-o-music
how about the guy from deerhunter opening sunday in PEARLS! (His interview in pitchfork was so good folks, he said the stage was hot and he was without shoes. He was going to run off and get them but they didn’t MATCH his dress. He’d rather suffer, fashion over function!)

I went to try to see fujiya and miyagi and gave up when the levels of the stage 3 area were at trampling on people and suffocating, so i left. I came back and saw Nat made a friend.

Someone who was a friend of a friend brought this pink flamingo to give to Yoko Ono. Um. okay. But it was sitting in my chair next to nat, like he made a new friend while watching the Battles set.
Speaking of nat, i had Jessica take pictures of us
Saturday:

Sunday


My friend Jessica and her boyfriend Cooper

Some Sea & Cake was playing

Jessica and Cooper were making faces


Then Jessica proclaimed stephen Malkmus to be the most beautiful man ever and says he’s modeled in Prada Ads.

If any of you have ever attened something in Chicago you’ve probably heard this man.

That’s Tim the owner of the Hideout. Some people from out of town find him a little annoying, but he is just the best at introducing anything. He is a very nice guy and we once saw him in Joann’s buying tons of velvety fabric.
Nat’s camera wasn’t allowed in for being called “professional” on friday nite so i put mine in the car too. Nat did snap a few with his iphone though.


Speaking of iphone, i was calling nat all weekend on my CARDBOARD iphone and wondering why he never answered

So now some dog stuff i’ll close out with pictures of samuel. Usually she is busy tracking near the shed but i caught her laying in the sun the other day.




We got some good news. We got into Chicago’s renegade craft fair. So we need to make our booth fee, and buy some new fabrics for y’all, so please come check out our project pouches and travel case sets so we can afford to sell in September!

Wow - lots of randomness! Love (as always)the hound close ups....Tucker loves laying at my feet when I do anything. Makes a great foot warmer in winter!
