totally fabricated

In a last minute dash to get together an application, I gathered a few photos of things laying around my room. Behold, my laptop case, handfelted with hand dyed wool. And a dye line of blue faced leicester wool painted with natural dyes. And, of course, las legs are featured in my map dress. In which big bend and grand teton take on new meaning.

I also managed to stop by the hardware store on 24th street in San Francisco. I deem it the cutest little hardware store ever, in which a cute little old man helps everyone and calculates prices on an old-school adding machine. They have an excellent selection of pretty washers, for people who, like me, thing that stuff it just cool looking.

It was a good morning. Staring at all these fun fiber things helped me get over the fact that my cell phone got stolen. Then I got in the car and things seemed a bit more displaced than usual. Because, in a separate incident from the cell phone debacle, it had been broken into, smashed windows and all. Gaaa!

But honestly I find cleaning up shards of glass to be far more pleasant than dealing with Verizon customer service. The first time I called, when I pressed “0″ to speak with a livehuman I got disconnected. That was just the beginning.

Ah well.

Looks like I can’t figure out how to put those pictures up here just yet. Pardon my computer illiteracy.
