living moss carpet

Saturday, January 24th, 2009

this carpet, by la chanh nguyen is made of three kinds of moss which thrive in a humid environment like a bathroom.

i’ve always likes moss. i used to peel it off the sidewalks in the winter and paste it in my potted plants.

remember this cardboard miracle?

Friday, January 2nd, 2009


i plan to make one over the weekend (plus a smaller one for noah)

imagine how neat my closet will be after i use it.

right now my clothes are thrown in chaos in the closet.

i fold and put away everyone’s clothes (when i eventually get to it), but my own clothes i form into a ball and stuff into whichever compartment is available.

no wonder i stress so much whenever i have to leave the house.

Package from Tilted Tulip

Saturday, December 6th, 2008

A short while ago I’ve ordered some items from Tilted Tulip.

Yesterday Noah and I went to pick up the package from the post office:

Noah said it’s just like a treasure chest because of the shiny pins: a kiwi hatpin, a kangaroo hatpin, a seal pin and an apple pin Erika added a seasonal gift, which was so nice of her.

(I didn’t post pictures of the rest of the things that were in the package because they didn’t come out nice in my photos)

Water, electricity
In such close proximity

Soon minerals will make her
An ex-espresso maker
