this week

1. Perfect fall light

2. Tomatillos from the farmers market, made into the sauce for this, frozen for quick future dinners

3. Japanese cotton ribbon for the 2010 calendar – ochre, slate, olive

Also this during the week –

4. Tuesday night in Eugene hearing our friends' band, Old Crow Medicine Show, play. Still suffering the consequences of staying up til 2 am and getting up at 6 am to get Liam ready for school.

5. Yesterday I bought this book, by Ketch's wife, Lydia Peelle. I can't wait to read it and am moving it to the top of the stack.

6. Last, but so not least, really in the number one slot if you ask me ... I love this drawing Liam made this week; it makes me laugh out loud every time I look at it, which is often. Star Wars is pretty much an obsession around here right now. I love the drawing, I love the way he wrote DARF VADER.(It was very nearly DORF VADER, can you see that?) We're just adding on to an already hilarious Darth Vader theme ... Remember this?
