weekend patterns

can anyone guess what i spent some time doing this weekend?
ryan has been away in california since wednesday, and i've been filling the quiet time with, what, else, making things (mostly patterns!) and there was a good dose of walking around the neighborhood in the nice evening weather, too.

and, i have a fun little project that i dreamed up while falling asleep last night (well, NOT falling asleep more like it-- i actually got out of bed at almost midnight to draft out the idea!), and hopefully i'll have some photos to show you soon! think: 3-dimensional. that's the only hint!

also, i'm sure you're all as excited about this as i am, but my dear pal erin is debuting mankind magazine today over at design for mankind-- be sure to go check it out and give her all the love and support in the world! i don't think she's slept for a week. :)
