what doesn't go unnoticed

Apparently, the singular event of me finding a book to purchase is worth a headline. I do admit that I was completely smitten with the website that Miranda July created for her new collection of short stories, No One Belongs Here More Than You. Once you visit it I’m sure you’ll understand why.

Hey, are you still reading this? Didn’t you click on that link to her website? I really don't want to be rude, but I'm going to have to insist that you leave. Seriously, shoo. You can come back after you're done, I'll still be here I promise.

See... I'm still here and I have something to show you: a new work in progress. This time it's a small toy/book tote for a friend and her new(ish) baby girl. I'm going to add some embroidery to this one and I promise to post photos as I progress. In the meantime, here's what it looks like for now:

You might call it a pin cushion, I prefer to think of it as a sort of catch all.

My favorite super buzzy trim ever (at least until my next order).

Things are starting to come together.

I found this over at anh-minh.com. What a nifty idea and cute too: a hop skotch rug made from Flor carpet tiles!

OK, so I didn't click the book link until after I left the comment. I read right through all the way to the project and now regret it because I have to leave another comment just to say how great that website was. Very very clever. I should have trusted you the first time and clicked when you said to click...
