The Books & Near Death Experiences

armed with my usual pot of genmaicha tea, i sewed like whoa at casbah cafe, my sliverlake coffee shop of choice. boo on you intelligentsia!

i sewed an H, a mustached S, a whale & an elephant in one afternoon! my reward: toffee + candied pecan & madagascar vanilla gelato with a sampling of sea salt caramel gelato at pazzo. yum!

then it was off to the books for the ultimate reward :) this song is one of my favorites to see live.

and this one was kevin's favorite:

mmmm... covering nick drake's cello song. so good.

on my last day, i started matt's custom order as rachel drew plans for a fancy garden. then, kevin treated me to a fancy dinner. whuttaguy!
