10 on the 10th: June Loves

 10 on the 10th is a fun monthly thing instigated by Marsha In the Middle.

Her prompt for this edition:

Instead of just answering some questions or such, let’s try photos of ten things we really like or even love.

I'm all for the love! And not just things!

1. Must be Severo!

2. Mr Lou

3. Morning ritual: Earl Grey loose tea, Hi-Lo souvenir mug, bakelite handled spoon

4. Celebrating my birthday with Ube Macapuno cake

5. Fluevog shoes, making repeats, embroidering them
Bonus: will be creating and exhibiting a total of 50!
The show will be in Pacifica, CA (near SF) in September

6. Road trips, then making art
This is 1-10, West Texas and will soon be available in a flash sale for $100

7. Textile Arts LA group
I'm curating a TALA group show for a pop-up art fair in Torrance July 11-13!

8. Music! In this case, Nada Surf in 2024

and in 2011

9. Fragrant flowers! Check my IG to see what happened when I took this photo...

10. Russel Wright dishes.
Some pieces are from my childhood, though Mom is still holding on to one forest green serving bowl.

Be sure to check out Marsha’s post and her link party for more responses!

Crazy Quilt Dossier: 6.28 Marni Patch

 Before we get to the patch work, let's pause for a cuppa

The colors of the Russel Wright china matches the star graphics perfectly!

I was sad to see those holes in the top star (thanks/no thanks to Lou the cat).
This patch came from a tee that I purchased at Canal Jeans (NYC, RIP) in 1996 and wore when I went on safari in Tanzania that fall.

Decisions...
Visible mend or patch?

Patch!

This came from a Marni dress that I got from Mel in a clothing swap at a blogger meetup in Vancouver BC in 2015.

Was that ever fun!

The dress was always too small (I grabbed it for the print) and I deconstructed it before COVID.

Admittedly, this bit came to mind because it had escaped the Mending Bag and was on the floor in plain sight.

Done!
