it’s no secret that there is no shortage of creative folks here in athens. apparently this has always been the case. last night we went to Cine to view the movie “the world’s smallest airport”- a documentary of the thrasher brothers aerial circus. all i can say is, it was fantastic!
if you didn’t catch it in athens, there is a free screening at the elberton theater in elberton, GA.
see a trailer of the movie here.
for our holiday feast, my contribution was sweet potato pie. we ran out of vanilla so i added some bourbon. i think that this will be my new standard sweet potato pie!
there was enough filling for one full pie and another partially filled pie. glad that there was left overs.

our friend mandy made this arrangement the other day. we couldn’t resist sharing!
it is festival time right now! this weekend i went out to the farmington depot days and chris hubbard had his heaven and hell car there for viewing. lots to look at!
i love making holiday crafts. this year i have been making some card board wreaths and i love they way they are turning out.
our good friend amy flurry and partner nikii salk make these amazing accessories entirely from tiny pieces of hand cut paper. this week, they will be taking their paper.cut.project to NY for fashion week. they have designed a series of hand cut masks for designer jen kao. i am sure it will be wonderful and inspiring- i can’t wait to see pictures.
here is a little video that shows how they make each piece.
finally had a rainy day over the weekend, so i took the opportunity to work on some sewing projects. i feel compelled to write ‘love’ on everything lately, so i appliqued the word ‘love’ on the back itwas fun picking out the colors. i decided never mind about hemming the edges, just stitch the heck out of it and let the edges unravel over time. i just cut the neck hole how i wanted it, then stitched a long strip of peach calico onto the edge of the t-shirt. it will unravel slowly, too, adding charm (hopefully). anyway, people smile when they see it, and that’s good.
for years, one of my favorite junque stores ever has been reed’s odds n’ ends. they are right on hway 441s, between watkinsville and bishop. whatever you need, they have it. i’ve about furnished my whole house and yard from there. everything from old linen tablecloths to cast iron frying pans to barn doors, yard art, cookbooks, and anything else you might need. check out the accompanying audio piece to hear clay bolton interview mr.reed about how it all started.
