Some pictures of the gang at Market on Saturday...

Victoria Fox, the artist whose work is featured in my latest line of pendants, which you can see at our Saturday Ann Arbor Market Artisan Association Etsy shop.

Isn't she good-lookin'? I had to peel her hands down from in front of her face about 5 times before I managed to take her picture. ;)

Here is her booth, she makes amazing folk art Santas, spectacular and accurate fish, and lately some very cool Americana:

Here are Cynthia Olcott's awesome polymer clay Obama pins (Hockey Moms for Obama was all sold out by the end of the day...hopefully she's in her studio making more right now)

And Carol Scott, with the best display on the market and her wonderful handmade clothes for women and children...coats, jackets, dresses, hats, scarves...

I got Coleman hooked on Sugar Snaps. Liz is the one who got me on them. I eat a whole bag of them for lunch a lot of times. Yum! If you need more veggies in your life, I recommend them...they come in a bag trimmed washed and ready to eat, effortless and delicious.

2008-10-18T16:46:00.000-07:00

Tonight Red Robin made up for all those years of coming home from various restaurants with carry out to find that something. was. missing. Mixed in with our full slab of ribs and chicken fingers kiddy meal was an order of chicken fajitas and a double cheeseburger. Score. I've never had a double cheeseburger. I took this as a sign. Verdict: delicious. The ribs will be just as good heated up tomorrow as leftovers.

I do feel curiously guilty, even though 1)James is the one who picked up the food 2)he didn't grab an extra bag, the food was all mixed in with our food 3)it's not like we could drive back to the restaurant and give the food to it's rightful orderers. I did feel bad for them as I laughed gleefully and chowed down their dinner...

My neighbors on Wednesday

2008-10-18T15:28:00.001-07:00

John Roos of Roos Roast is inspiring me to revive my blog. I thought I'd start by posting some pictures of my neighbors at Ann Arbor Farmer's Market last Wednesday (Oct. 15). Yes yes, I was there today, too, but hey, I'm a little behind. :P

Coleman Jewett, the "Mayor of the Market", on the right. Community High School in the background.

Gardenworks, organic produce, with some beautiful beets, potatoes, and greens

Zingerman's Creamery

and Roos Roast - too bad for you you can't smell the coffee, too, it's divine!
John's own artwork graces the bags.

Local, it's the new organic!

Karate Kid

2008-10-18T15:03:00.000-07:00

On our way to karate class...

Jack is super excited to start karate, at Keith Hafner's. He's had his first few private lessons from Master Terry...after his 2nd lesson he told me, "I love Master Terry." :)

He has the smallest size suit, it goes to 48 inches and 70 pounds, Jack is 44 inches and 37 pounds. It's quite wide on him, very cute.

He earned his headband and white belt, and after a couple more private lessons he will be ready to start going to the group classes with the other kids.

Goldfinch Pendant Necklace - Featured artist Victoria Fox on Etsy

2008-10-16T19:11:00.000-07:00

I've had these pendants out at market since last summer but this is their first time making into one of my Etsy shops. I decided to put them into our collective shop Saamaa.Etsy.com, because they are a collaboration between me and Victoria Fox.

I've always loved Vicky's paintings, but when I was working with the images in photoshop I became more and more impressed with her work. I became really aware of all the details, and the brushstrokes. I really fell in love with all of them. I think they are just perfect pendant subjects, and I'm so glad she agreed to let me use them. The colors go great with my patchwork, too. ;)

"All Bungled Up"
Originally uploaded by suchprettycolors.

Jack-speak for All Bundled Up. He always says, "Mom, bungle me up!"

Equally bad!

2008-03-27T15:11:00.001-07:00

More 3-year-old wisdom:

Jack: Don't get too close to dinosaurs! Because they might bite you! Or...or bump you!

I Swear I'm Not Making This Up

2008-03-25T05:59:00.000-07:00

me: I sold a pendant overnight!

Jack, 3 1/2: how did you do that, when you were sleeping?

me: oh, i have the pendants on the computer. someone clicked on it and bought it when we were sleeping, isn't that great? that means today we have to package it up and mail it to them.

Jack: oh! but...how do you get it out?

me: hmm? out of what?

Jack: the computer?

Fluffy

2008-01-15T19:30:00.000-08:00

My 3 year old Jack has a 6 foot long rubber snake which he, inexplicably, loves. It's rather heavy and has that "rubber" smell. He likes to take it places with us, like the post office, where he tells the clerks that it's name is Fluffy.

So we thought this story was pretty funny:
