Aren’t these gorgeous? They’re by Leif.Designpark.

Did you dress up for Halloween? I was a picnic – red and white checkered dress with little ants all over (carrying a basket of bread and wine, of course).

I think I forgot to mention that my team’s art shanty proposal was approved. This is good.

I’d like to tell you about a group called Carrotmob. What Carrotmob does is approach a bunch of small businesses and ask them to use a percentage of profits from one day for environmental improvements. The business that promises the largest percentage gets mobbed by customers on the agreed day. Carrotmob Minneapolis is rallying people to shop this Saturday at Guse Hardware at 4206 Bryant Ave. S. The store is using 100% of the day’s profits for environmental improvements! I’m guessing you must need something from a hardware store – numbers for your mailbox, buckets, a nail? Come on by. There will be music and fun. And nails. Thanks to my friend Sarah for telling me about this.

My goodness. Wouldn’t this be a cool thing to do to your bedroom? (Until you wake in the middle of the night, startled by the deformed creatures hovering around you.) Again, found on Ffffound!

I’m imagining that some of you out there are art-makers. I just so happen to be looking for art donations… I’ve been working with Ampersand Families here in Minneapolis. They work to find homes for older foster children. There’s an event coming up, Cache at the Casket, for which Ampersand is the beneficiary. The event will include a silent art auction, and we’re seeking art donations. Please shoot me an email – andrea (at) somethingsiknow (dot) com – if you might be interested in donating a piece of artwork. Thank you!

Now, this. This is wonderful. I found it on Fffound!

Makes me think of Where the Wild Things Are, which I am very excited to see. Yeah – I know everyone’s excited to see it.
