Diversion

Oh. Em. Gee. Wanna good time-waster?

Indie craft blogs/shopping sites are my new Kryptonite. I waste HOURS. If you’re into crafting stuff yourself, these sites are awesome. Plus, they’re just awesome anyway. Click away m’dears!

Feel free to share your own crafty diversions!

And P.S.! I’m totally borrowing from about a billion crafting blogs, and soon I will be posting my projects here (so far it’s just been school projects). So stay tuned so you can see what the crap I do all day. Also, I’m going to take this oppurtunity to give a shout-out to an acquaintance who does an amazing job at crafty-clothing-blogging herself: Green-Eyed Muse (be forewarned: you’ll have to explore a bit to get to the crafty stuff… her blog is so much more than clothes. Like poetry? Photography? Intellectual food for thought? Yeah, thought so. She’s got ‘em.)

Alrighty-roo. I’m out. I’ll be back soon, though.

Jewelry stuff from the semester

I grasp at autumn like a needy lover.

I admit, uploading fall photography to one’s blog/facebook/flickr/what-have-you, this year, seems to be as original as putting on a pair of giant sunglasses and wearing a oversized, slouchy purse. But I’m falling into the ranks because I just can’t get enough. Autumn is my favorite season by far–always has been–and every year, I find myself reaching for my camera, feeling desperately like I have to capture every bit of fiery foliage and save it in my memory before it fades… as though it won’t come back next year. I’m still bitter, in fact, that I forgot to bring my camera home over Thanksgiving break. If there’s one thing in this world that is better than fall in the Fan neighborhoods of Richmond, Virginia, it is fall in the Shenandoah Valley, and the mountains that surround it. So if you, like me, are mourning the passing of autumn like Freddie the Leaf, here are some lovely trees that–just between you and me–we can pretend never shed their colors.
