around the 'hood

Some pictures from around my neighborhood.

The cafe is one of my favorite places to hang out - it's part of the South London Gallery called No.67.

cats in bars

I may not have properly expressed how much I love cats on this blog... but oh, do I love them.  This ongoing series of pictures from photographer Martijn Savenije is right up my alley, cat.  (Ok, bad joke.)

Found via Miss Moss.

half shirts

I have completed knitting two fronts of two summer shirts.  Let's hope I finish them both before summer is over!

Details about each here and here.

sneak...

Sneak peak of a dress I made.  More pictures coming soon!

more paris

merci

After my weekend in Paris, I'm convinced that there is no better place in the world in spring.

One of my favorite spots we visited was merci - a cafe, used book shop, home store, clothing boutique... just a little bit of everything.

 

Sadly, a whole roll of film was ruined which I think had some of my best pictures from the trip.  Oh well, I'll just have to make up for it in two weeks when I'm back in Paris again!

le paris

I just found out today that I'm going to Paris for the weekend.  What a nice surprise!  

A picture of the rainy city during my last visit.  Fingers crossed for sun this time!

royal wedding celebration

Street party celebrating the union of Kate & Wills just around the corner from my house. I want those giant cupcakes!

my weekend

#1  I've planted some of the extra seeds in pots in the house as a backup for the allotment... to transplant as seedlings just in case some (or most) of what's in the ground doesn't actually grow.

#2  Lavender plants against the wall in the garden

#3  Beautiful flowering tree across the street
