oh what do i do in the summertime when all my time is free? the following...all are little things that will pale in comparison with what is to come in 5 days (PARIS and LONDON) so, i thought i should blog about them now.

floral design class (my "T" shape arrangement)

jordan's birthday present...a triptych i am still working on

bow stuff (one of my favorite flowers we made)

decided to make thank-you cards, they are made out of some vintage flour cloths i found at, lucketts, my mecca



gave merry a monogrammed manicure (after i told her i couldn't paint birds and butterflies she suggested her name)...she loved it so much she called me the other day and our conversation was the following
merry: "koobs, i am calling because well, i don't know how to tell you this, i don't want to offended you......but............?
me: "it is ok mer, you can tell me, what's up?"
merry: "well, my nail polish is coming off, and so i think i have to take it off, i am so sorry"
me: "mer, its ok, really, i don't mind we can give you another one later."
merry: "no, but really really i am so sorry"
(this went on for a while)
merry: "so, ok i will take it off, but do you think khaki madison, my stage name will fit for next time?"
me: "uh i think it is too long but maybe we can try it..."
merry: "yeah yeah, i just thought it would be a good idea, so yeah yeah, just think about it, and i will talk to you tomorrow."
not pictured: mostly i just watch valentine dance to justin bieber, its the best (but everytime i try to record it i am thwarted by distracting balloons, computer mice, baby dolls and sometimes the camera shimself).
btw: when i typed this blog's title sublime was stuck in my head, not ella fitzgerald which i think changes the mood of the post, ijs.
