Yesterday, a bunch of folks headed up to Burt’s Farm to check out the fall goodness! I’d never been up to the farm before, and it was pretty much fantastical. There were crazy pumpkins as far as the eye could see! The one I got was called an “Old Timey” pumpkin. You can see a bunch of them pictured above I loved its pale color and bubbly shape! The one I took home had a lovely, curved stem, too! Check out our whole haul:

Guys I can’t even really find words for how excited I am that PHISH IS BACK! They’re playing 3 nights at Hampton Coliseum on March 6-8, 2009! That’s just over a week before my birthday, and you can bet this is the best birthday gift I’ve ever gotten. Dave and I are trying to get tickets to all three shows, but we’ll see how it goes. The preorder dealie is a little iffy, and you know all three nights are going to sell out pretty much instantly when tickets go on official sale. Hotels are already booked solid…we almost reserved a room at a place 15 miles away for far, far too much money but hotels around there must be on to us: they wanted a nonrefundable deposit. Boo! I’m hoping that once folks know whether they have tickets, some cheaper rooms will open up.

Hear all that screaming? I would like to be one of those voices, pls.

A few folks have linked me to Ponoko Photomake. I think it’s a pretty cool idea, but I’m not really a fan of the execution. The idea is that they turn your drawing or photo into a real life piece, sourcing the materials and cutting the pieces for you from plastic. Yep: plastic. That last thing is why I was a little surprised to see them written up on Treehugger. I wrote a bit more over on SuperCute! about it. What do you guys think? Am I overreacting?

I was just out front watering the garden, and that Fall smell is in the air. Hurrah! Time to pull out my jackets and hoodies and cozy boots. It’s also time to get started on gifts, if I want to do handmade holiday again this year. Step one: a list!

Do you guys do handmade gifts or store-bought? Or a little of each? I was thinking of trying to do mostly handmade with some store-bought stuff here and there to fill in.

Eep! If I want to be any sort of on time to the dayjob, I had better get moving!

It’s our anniversary! Dave and I have been together for eight years and married for two. He is the kindest, smartest, funniest person that I know.

This might be the coolest mod I’ve ever seen. That’s a My Little Pony turned Stormtrooper! Holy crap. Way better than the mohawks I gave my My Little Pony when I was a kiddo.

This weekend so far has been super-hectic and wonderful. I completely forgot to take a single picture!

Yesterday morning, SuperCute! set up at the East Atlanta Strut. It was a wonderful day with wonderful people! We had perfect weather, a prime spot to watch the parade and got to gab with lots of old pals! Thanks to all the fine folks who made it out to say hi.

At the show Liz, Lori and I got to gabbing about my merch. They gave some really great advice, and I made some decisions. First of all, I’m bringing back the stainless steel lunchboxes. I really think they make the kits feel like…well…kits. Also, I’m going to pick up some frames for my collages. They’re still going to be listed unframed on Etsy, but I want them ready to hang when we do shows. Those ladies are so smart!

After the Strut, Dave helped us load up and whisked me home to get ready for the Munny show at MINT. He surprised me with roses, a bottle of wine and two packs of my favorite gum! How sweet is that?? Some leftover Chinese, a shower and a nice glass of wine later, we were on the way to see the show. It was kind of surreal. This was probably due in part to a long day in the sun, but I don’t think that’s all of it. Somehow, it felt different than at the Strut. Maybe I’m used to the mellow craft show vibe? Who knows! It was really fun - so fun that we stayed out far later than we meant to. We didn’t get home until around 11!

Today is a birthday brunch for Meghan, one of my very favorite ladies! But first: ROCK BAND!
