Anthropologie Intership Day 2

I am currently doing the Visual Display Internship at Anthropologie in Manhattan (Soho store usually) and it is ROCKIN' my world!  I am completely inspired to get my glue gun out and get to work.  Here's some eye-candy!
Weaving veneer between placed slats that have been curved.
The weaving so far plus the coffee filter dress and the rest of the Soho Store.  (I didn't work on the dyed coffee filter dress - before my internship - but isn't it AWESOME!)

Have a wonderful holiday weekend and CRAFT!

Steampunk Keyboard!

I want this.

Rootin' Scootin'

So...a guy stepped in front of me in the bike path this morning and I had to slam on my little scooter brakes and in doing so, I lightly bumped in to the back of his shoe.  He turns with this scowl and says "EXCUSE ME?!"  So I said "You are excused" (yes, just like a little brat - I was MAD!) and continued on.  As I'm scooting away I hear him grumbling to two cops and one of them says "Well, you did step in front of her, Sir" and the other one says "and she did ring her bell."  MUAHHAHAHA - Wish he could get a ticket for that!

I love it when a morning starts out with so much action.  I'm ready for anything today!  (Or just to perhaps purchase this necklace.  Isn't it awesome?!)

I wonder if the wheels work?!

Happy Tuesday all!

PS: Currently reading "Your Money OR Your Life" and I highly recommend it.  My new motto: "Create and Save!"  (I should always make sure I am spending my time by creating something or saving something (whether money or the planet)...I'm loving it - I'm so much more productive when I repeat this mantra!)
