My Photo
Midland, Texas, United States
My name rhymes with "Lisa," I live in Midland, Texas, because it's warm and the mortgage is cheap, and of course this is my natural hair color. Of course! The EGE--The Ever-Gorgeous Earl--is my husband of 35 years. I have the best job in the world because I get to call up artists and ask them nosy questions and then write about them. I also stitch, podcast, blog, and then, in my spare time, do it all some more.

Another Weekend Project

Whew. It's still hideously windy and even uglier--I don't even dare show you a photo of the brown sky right now; it's that depressing--but I'm getting a ton of stuff done. Remember this Lucky Brand cotton knit jacket? So soft and comfy:
I dyed it a last week (?the week before?), so it looks like this:
OK, it's more of a grape. I let iPhoto "enhance" the color, and this is what it came up with. Not too far off, as the cabinet door in the background is a true red. Let's try again:

That's much better. "Enhance," my butt.
Last night we hunted down buttons--not what I had in mind (I wanted 10 plain, deep purple buttons, but those were nowhere to be found), but they'll do:
These colors are marginally more accurate, although the table isn't that yellowish.

So when I'm ready to sit down, I can finish this one up.

What are y'all doing today? Hope your weather is WAY better than ours and that you can get out and enjoy some of it.

Gee, the coat looks great. I love love LOVE purple.

It is officially summer and the sun is so strong already (9:30am) I have to stay out of it. That is basically our summer, avoiding the sun or wet and hot.

Sorry for your weather. We would LOVE wet, even if it came with more hot.
