I recently met Hruby out at one of our Granite Pass adventures. Her weekly video logs make me laugh out loud.  Enjoy!

"The Music Scene" from Anthony Francisco Schepperd on Vimeo.

Even though this is a music video I titled it as Art. You'll see why. Acid Trip-tastic!

Art: Ludo In Paris

This makes perfect sense if you've ever been in the catacombs underneath Paris....

Life: Cracking Walnuts, Making Sun Tea & Tending To The Garden...

I ask again, when did we turn into my Grandparents?!

Cracking Walnuts...


Making Sun Tea...


...and tending to the garden all morning.  I love my life. And I now understand why my grandparents loved there's so much too.

DIY: Upcycled Vintage Button-up Western Shirt

While at theBay Area  Maker Faire last month I ran across a vendor in the Bazaar Bizarre who was making these adorable tops out of vintage mens western shirts. Only problem is that they were priced way out of my budget. I took a closer look and realized if I could get my hands on a shirt I could probably make my own in a couple of hours at a fraction of the price. I actually ended up finding two FREE vintage westerns in the Swap-o-rama-rama (free clothing swap & workshops) section of the Baz Biz. So for two hours of effort I came up with this...


It's not nearly as cute as the tops being sold at the Maker Faire but as a first attempt I'm pretty pleased with the outcome. When you're working without any instructions or patterns I find that there's always a bit of a learning curve.  Next attempt I'll bring the pockets up higher and try to retain the original hemline.

Farilla snapped this photo because he's convinced that I never iron. Not true.  I just don't buy clothes that require ironing.



If you're noticing a fashion theme here it's because I'm obsessed with strapless tops right now.   I'm dead set against being THAT bridesmaid with the horrible tan lines in TnT's upcoming wedding.
