Meanwhile...

We had absolutely no light here today. It was like a total eclipse for hours and hours, people. Okay, that's a wee bit hyperbolic, but it felt like a day-long dusk in my apartment--hence, I'm eating too much (yup--winter darkness and overeating are a married couple for me--TRY and SEP-er-ATE them) and sharing old-but-suddenly-pertinent photos of the galleon hoop I made for the current issue of Spoonful, that darling little "Happiness Companion."
I'm pretty pleased with myself on this front and have been wanting to show it to you for ages. Magazine's out! No light for new photos! All the stars aligned! (Forgive me--I may be having a chocolate-chip-cookie-induced mental break. Mmmm--cookies.)

This is absolutely amazing! I love it and wish it was hanging in my house!

Sarah said...

I love it! The "XO" slays me.

I had a brainstorm recently about making a light fixture that involved a model ship inside of a glass globe. Your approach is way more sensible.

Lovely! And thanks for putting me on to Spoonful. Despite being Australian I hadn't heard of it. Bit embarrassing, but all subscribed now.

I love it, Melissa! You definitely DESERVE a Double Chocco Muffin Topped with Chocco Frosting with Whipped Cream and Double Chocco Sauce on the Side...as far as I'm concerned. I'm about to do a hop as a give away prize and of course I always think of you when I do a hoop! Lots of love, Amanda xxx

Love it! It is just so . . . cool. Oh, and who doesn't need a chocolate chip cookie. Consider it preparation for the cold winter months ahead.
