Here are a few snippets from my Blanket Fort Birthday. Bill and I spent our Saturday turning our entire living room (and half of the bedroom) into a giant blanket fort. Using only rope, binder clips and eye-hooks we constructed a frame and draped the walls to form our tent. It worked out quite nicely, I think it is going to be semi-permanent fixture of our home.</div>

I am so blown away by my friend Sarah Freeman. She is an amazing artist
who is well-versed and talented in a variety of mediums. (She also has the coolest signature ever).</div>
<div class="separator" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
It is her still-life oil paintings that I am currently captivated by. Beauty and
simplicity. </div>

Sarah has a gallery opening this Saturday (tomorrow) in Culver City at the Maxwell Alexander Gallery on Washington Blvd. The show is entitled Still, Life and Land. And it's even more exciting because Sarah is flying in from Santa Fe for the show! So happy for her...<br />

I am in love with my book - Peaceful Places: Los Angeles. So many excellent gems to escape to all in the city limits. Sometimes living/driving in such a populated city can be a little headachey, but this book is full of places to find relaxation and solitude. </div>

<br />
For someone who lives so close to the ocean, the beach is not really my thing. The overcrowding and paying $6-$8 to park usually keep me away... Even if I do make it down, by the time I get settled in the cold and foggy marine layer is as well. I will say that El Matador in Malibu was a welcome departure from the typical beaches of Santa Monica bay. Still $8 to park, but there are many rock formations and small caves covered in barnacles to explore, it is well worth the fee.<br />

Wolf moss, white reindeer moss, dried pine, white rock, and a mini pagoda. This one is still a work in progress. I am thinking of adding some steps and maybe some Irish moss.<br />

Working on a few more, so stay tuned.elle ruth http://www.blogger.com/profile/16232040860953008463noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6660156963363751470.post-4695507858421888682012-04-10T21:28:00.001-07:002013-02-06T20:12:16.099-08:00Earth ArtWhat a beautiful place.

Check out our awesome handmade stuff sacks. Mine is perfect to hold my markers and colored pencils. Now that I have the pattern settled I can start production on more. My stuffed animal designs were also just featured on a quilting blog. See them <a href="http://blog.annettetatum.com/blog/2011/10/05/sew-we-quilt/">HERE</a>!<br />

I am obsessed now. I post the projects created with the fabrics as well.

The band <a href="http://www.myspace.com/craftspells">Craft Spells</a> was the middle act and I quite liked them. Mainly because they sound like <a href="http://www.myspace.com/neworder">New Order</a> and their album art for <a href="http://www.pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/15280-idle-labor/">Idle Labor</a>, even looks like an updated version of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Power-Corruption-Lies-New-Order/dp/B000002L82">Power, Corruption and Lies</a>. Either way I really like both albums and both covers. Enjoy!<br />

I love these trees painted on the walls. They remind me of my good friend Darla's house who recently passed away. She used to give me art lessons and hang out with me when my mom was working. She painted cracks in her walls with vines growing out, and fake bookcases on her cabinets. This painting looks so much like the one in her dining room.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">These chairs remind me of Chairy, my orange chair that it got at the flea market in Tulsa for $25.

We decided to go to Griffith Park and enjoy our lunch in the abandoned Los Angeles Zoo. I had been there before, so I was excited to show some of my friends. It is kind of a creepy place, rusty bars, broken fences, and dark enclosures covered in graffiti. You can even lock yourself (or your dog) into the cages. But the open field (I think it may have been a lion pit) was actually a very nice place for our picnic. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1191708953" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JnHOkGHBBXM/TZ-E3BHVOLI/AAAAAAAABQQ/4FAzp2PQ-1k/s1600/zoo.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1191708953" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VD7y0Qf-9c0/TZ-E0-nO86I/AAAAAAAABQI/i_Cv5wDIOlQ/s1600/trees.JPG" /></a></div><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1191708953"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Melissa made incredible food, Turkey, Apple and Cheddar sandwiches, also Salmon and Cucumber! Sooo good. We also had lemonade and chocolate chip cookies! Yum!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1191708953" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-G0FasntArMo/TZ-EzZpUAmI/AAAAAAAABQA/nS9QY9Bd6As/s1600/sandwich.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Melissa's adorable parasol blanket side.</div><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It wouldn't be a picnic without the dog. Here is Megan getting tangled up with Bijou.<img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-543Ka6gWGMk/TZ-ExS4d-hI/AAAAAAAABP4/2Z9T0l3VCe0/s1600/bijou.jpg" /></div><br />
She then of course came to attack our picnic. She has no manners!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">Walking back to the car we discovered this large and spiny pod. Since we are such a curious species we just had to cut it open. It's one of the coolest plants I have found in Griffith Park. So if you have never hiked up to the old LA Zoo, it is definitely worth the trip.</div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TqLExWpK33I/TZ-E1x9s9MI/AAAAAAAABQM/tWw3YAamOdI/s1600/weird+pod.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-TqLExWpK33I/TZ-E1x9s9MI/AAAAAAAABQM/tWw3YAamOdI/s1600/weird+pod.jpg" /></a>elle ruth http://www.blogger.com/profile/16232040860953008463noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6660156963363751470.post-61664616847033248612011-04-04T19:12:00.000-07:002011-04-05T20:40:00.439-07:00In the Dog HouseBill found some really sturdy poster boards in the dumpster recently and we have been discussing a use for them. One idea is to build a dog house for Bijou. I've been researching some of the coolest pet dens and found most of them on http://dog-milk.com. Here are some of the best..<br />
