Mr. Tom Robbins, Jonathan and a view of the heavens

"That goddamned pyramid-headed, grub-eating, drug-drinking, curse-leveling savage from the Amazon bush could have been right on the money when he concluded that it was Western man's comedic sense-his penchant to jibe and quip and pun and satirize and play humorous games with words and images in order to provoke laughter-that was his greatest strength, his defining talent, his unique contribution to the composite soul of the planet" -Tom Robbins

For Dylan

"...to go into yourself and test the deeps in which your life takes rise; at its source you will find the answer to the question whether you MUST create. Accept it, just as it sounds, without inquiring into it. Perhaps it will turn out that you are called to be an artist. Then take that destiny upon yourself and bear it, its burden and its greatness, without ever asking what recompense might come from outside. For the creator must be a world for himself and find everything in himself and in Nature to whom he has attached himself."

-Rainer Maria Rilke

Rainy night New York

Of Montreal

My first night in New York I ventured out solo, jumped in a cab to Union Square and hit up a great Of Montreal show, thanks to some friends of my Chicago friends who happened to have an extra ticket. Thanks Cherney!

Nancy and the Lucky Strike

This is the first in a long line of new york shots that you are about to see put up. These were taken towards the end of the trip. Why you say would i choose to do the end first?...well, the end was what i was most excited about. This night was filled with sloshing through a major amount of slush in Soho late at night to find a bar that I had never been to...a mirage of sorts which is how it ended up feeling when I arrived. A wonderful magical night!

Stoop

My house, my stoop, my wonderful Sunday off.

Lochers

I was sitting here at school thinking about what I wanted to share with you today, and I got a message from my friend Dusty (dusty=awesome edmsf.blogspot.com) who turned me on to these really awesome shirts. You can find them at www.lochers.com

Spring shots

It's late at night and I am in the sewing lab finishing up my last project of the semester which you will be seeing here in the next few days. Since it's spring and I am itching to be out playing around in it I figured a few spring shots from last year would be a pleasant addition. Hope you enjoy them. Some of you can guess the location I bet!!

Moyer Cycles

So, the semester is slowing to a stop, and before I run back to the sewing lab to do my very last garment for a grade (for this year) I would like to share something that my boyfriend mikey found online last night...some super stellar hand made bike frames by an Austin, Texas bike enthusiast, Whitney Moyer. You can read his story, or drool over his beautiful bikes at www.moyercycles.com.

Sarah sews swimsuits

The chaos of my life has made me neglect certain loved things...this blog being one of them, so I thought that I would give an explanation to the lull in my postings. The first picture is of me, after hours of sewing. Perhaps this blog should be named "lack of sleep and empty sewing lab". Yes, that is the sewing lab behind me where I spend LOTS of my time...I love it! The next photos are of the finished products. I worked with two other very talented girls to produce this mini line of swimsuits. I hope you all enjoy the poolside shots.
xoxo, Miss. Sarah K

The big move

I spent all day yesterday moving the things I own from one location to another. Luckily I only had to move them two blocks. These are some of the photos I took throughout the day. The one of the house has a gypsy boy playing the accordian on the porch.
