green without envy

Julie and Amy(you two are awesome) invited me to join them at two different smaller craft shows within the last two weeks. I sold 3 baby hats and 17 chocolate easter bunny popsicles. I realized that it was really tacky to be sloppily scribbling my name and email on scrap paper to give interested customers so i started another blog just for my wares! Introducing(drum roll) Green Without Envy! It's my new baby so bear with me...

Also, this past saturday we took the boys and (dragged) Matt to the Smithsonian Kite Festival. It drizzled rain the whole time and the wind came and went, so technically we did get our bald eagle and stealth fighter kites(awesome if i may say so) to fly, but technically it did suck. We met up with the Sanchezes & company(which made it suck a lot less) so Isaac got some girlfriend time in with Miji. Gerardo made Chilean kites for the kiddos which unfortunately were awesome but made out of paper which did valiant battle against afore-mentioned drizzle but in the end lost.

the glorious duet of eagle and stealth fighter.
Matt says the fact the the eagle kept crashing is ironically reflective of the American economy. Also this guy with a huge chinese dragon kite was doing fine.... hmm.

can you just see how miserable/drizzly it was?

and isaac STILL had fun.

i feel your words through my buttonholes...

so it might be due to the fact that i need a lot of peace and love in my life in order to not go crazy or the fact that i like dancing to catchy music in my socks in the kitchen or the fact that i am eating the words i so frequently uttered in high school vowing never to like any female vocalist or that i am currently trying to control my obsession with buttons and button-related art, but i love lisa hannigan.
also this.
enjoy!

sorry it's been a while...

a little bit of green to share with you

a little bit of yellow to share with you

isaac is so into gardening this year that he gets upset if you don't want his help...

so i have come to the realization that i'm not that great at blogging(at least on a regular basis), just like i wasn't that good at being a pen pal in middle school... i don't know why i expected myself to break that mold now.
