Leaving Palm Beach

This is the view from my brother's car as we left West Palm Beach. I like this because it means we had just been at the beach, for hours hot and sun-soaked and relaxed. Perfect. Windows down, salt and sand stuck to my hair. Freckles prickling up on my arms and legs. Happy.

Join Me In The Water

I just loved this couple who were at West Palm Beach in Florida on Saturday, May 17th. At first, only he was in the ocean, then she followed and they held hands. I was there w/ my brother. More to follow.

E Unum Pluribus

I bought a great necklace (not pictured) in Grand Cayman in January 2008 with the intention of taking it apart and making many necklaces from the one. Pictured above is the latest Frankenstein's Monster necklace.

Feeling at home

Make-shift candle holder I made from a vase, seashells, and a candle. The shells are from West Palm Beach, Clearwater Beach, and Jamaica. The candle was part of a 24th birthday present from Naomi. All part of slowly turning my apartment in the hills of Texas into a beach cottage.

Seashell Art

These are the 8.5" x 11" seashell pics I'm going to put up in the bedroom above the headboard. I added the 4th column of 3 b/c it's a big wall. The seashells are from my New Year Eve's 2008 trip to Clearwater Beach, FL.

Babette Blanket

I started crocheting this blanket-to-be in February and have been working on it for about a month now (I did the math for you). Here is the Knitting Daily link so you can see what it's supposed to look like. Above, see the yarn I'm using. I want it to be beachy colors. More pics to come.
