could i wear that skirt any higher? i'm chaneling julia child. i was
inspired by meg to do the the self-portrait even though it makes me uncomfortable. as of 2:26 pm, it's been replaced three times. i'm done, now.
craft
making a simple denim skirt with some patchwork binding i purchased long ago from i heart linen and a fabric flower using a pattern from martha stewart weddings. two more things off the summer to-do list. i got the blouse in a beautiful liberty of london fabric on sale from pronk.
home
going down to the laundry room in our building and finding the lights aren't even on, yet. i'm the first one and all alone.
new tradition
i'm old enough to need a routine mammogram each year and each time i get more scared about the results. from now on, after having the test, i'm going to make a donation to susan g. komen for the cure as a thank you.
television
the new season for mad men starts this sunday. we can't wait!
tunes
a really good free itunes single of the week from british artist gary go. according to itunes he 'grew up near wembley stadium listening to music float through his bedroom window." lucky chap!
xo, cindy

I love the self portrait...I know it's something I would love to have the courage to do...but...maybe not quite yet.
Going back a post...the Ice Post was awesome....wow for creativity.

Love the self portrait! You are adorable!!!!!! My vote is more self portraits Cindy!
thank you, dear. it's probably a no-no, but i've replaced the self-portrait three times trying to get better light. this is the best i can do. it looks like me, minus the frown lines i really have. thank you photoshop!
It's so nice to see your face, Cindy! What a lovely self-portrait :) And an adorable outfit!
Why, hello pretty lady! :)
I love the portrait. You are a beam of happiness my dear :)
Your Komen idea is a fantastic one!
thanks you guys! krissy, i figured that i might not be so diligent without all the awareness the foundation has created.
I love your self- portrait! I just love the fabric on your shirt and the fabric flower! Great smile also:)
I am off to check out gary go!

It's great to finally put a face on "Aunt Cindy", you look beautiful! I have yet to watch Mad Men, but you're the second person to mention it...I think I better tune in :)
You look BEAUTIFUL! And you *know* I love a high-waisted skirt-- it's ultra chic.

I've tried the self-portrait thing a couple of times already, but haven't had the courage yet to put it up on my blog... One portrait is just sitting in my drafts folder waiting to be published - if I wait long enough I'll look five years younger, LOL.
