music monday

I wasn’t sure what to do for Music Monday this week. I started to write this post lots of times with different artists and themes and then I got home from work. There it was…waiting for me. Inspiration! And by inspiration I mean this really cool poster I ordered a few weeks ago. Not only [...]

music monday: music for plants

All my little seeds are growing like crazy and I’m almost worried I started them too soon. We might get snow this week so my little greens will be staying indoors for a bit. They seem pretty happy. They get lots of sunshine and enough, but not too much water….and music. Did you ever do [...]

music + movie monday

This Saturday I had a little downtime and noticed that No One Knows About Persian Cats is finally available on Netflix. I’ve been wanting to see it for ages so I sat down with my knitting and watched it. Every moment since I’ve been wishing I could run into someone else who has seen it.  [...]

music monday: thinking about summer

It’s been so gorgeous and sunny here and I’m starting to look forward to summertime adventures like: exploring new places, road trips and starting new projects. This summer I want to make a dress from scratch, eat veggies from the garden, read novels in the sun, and finish up at least two paintings. And this [...]

music for a monday

I’m starting my Monday morning with some lovely music by Charlotte Gainsbourg. Her album, IRM,  seems perfect for today when the rain is expected to turn to snow. It’s mellow but not sleep; energetic but but not too crazy. I think it’s exactly what I want on a Monday morning that finds me back in [...]

music monday & something pretty

Happy Valentine’s Day Evening! Mine has been extra nice and I hope yours has been, too. And guess what, I made a mixed tape just for you! Don’t worry they aren’t all love songs, but they are all songs that I love! Mostly old favorites but a few new ones too!

music monday: ben folds + friends

Friday night we drove up to snowy (well, snowier) Milwaukee to see Ben Folds and Street Corner Symphony. The show was at a gorgeous old theater and I was so bummed that I had left my camera at home!  The crowd was a bit weird and chatty but the show was really fun and kept [...]

monday, just for fun

This afternoon I was sitting at my desk, during one of those long boring lulls that most office workers know all too well, thinking “This day needs something!” And then I spied Holly’s post which reminded me of Confetti System. (If you haven’t seen the Confetti System you need to see check them out!) after browsing [...]

music monday

I’ve been on a “hearting” spree on last.fm lately. So for today’s Music Monday I went digging through and picked out a three of my recently hearted songs. I hope you’ll like them, too! These songs don’t have much in common other than that they’ve all been stuck in my head at some point this [...]

present wrapping playlist

I made a little rule that this year I would not play Christmas Music until December 1st. I’m glad I did because now I’m having so much fun listening to it and I’m not sick of it yet. (I’m very sorry if you are!) I finally finished shopping for my mom today, which means I [...]
