Psycho art and homemade

In Chicago for 6 days and fell in love again as expected. The people, the art, the trains, the history, the snow, the ice, the stores...oh the thrifting! Holidays are super in the Midwest- mixed with tradition and weird findings.
I cherish Christmas presents that people make for me. I made all my give aways- not sure my 7 yr. old nephew liked his electric blue owl (when compared to his new high tech game boy... "um thanks aunt lynnea". )...but i sure love this crazy cat picture my brother made for me. It's already up on art wall.


At Village thrift I found a 1 inch square patchwork quilt for a twin bed (I'll have to finish the backside) for $4! Each square is hand sewn. And as much as I love making everything...this kind of detail would make me suicidal.
