Marilyn...

I got to meet Marilyn of California Fever yesterday.  She was in town with Jeffrey; he was doing an MLK event here.  She called me about mid-day and I immediately dropped my office-organizing project to run down to the Pearl District to have coffee with her. 

We had a lovely time, sitting in the Little Wing Cafe (an old hangout of mine...my yarn store, Spindleshanks, used to be right next door) and chatting like old friends. 

As you can imagine if you read her blog, Marilyn is incredibly open and honest, gentle and compassionate, funny and smart...  What a pleasure to get to spend face-to-face time with her. 

Marilyn took this photo and we like it's wonky weirdness of angle.  I, of course, took my trusty Photoshop to it.  Marilyn looked perfectly cute, sure. But since I ran out of the house without so much as taking a comb to my hair, I decided to hide my defects behind a layer of perfect pixels.  It is what I DO, after all...

You Photoshopped yourself? Hahahahaha! If anyone could have used a little Pixel dust yesterday, it was ME! :) Wish we'd had more time...next time. I agree...I could have sat and talked for hours...

P.S. Our laptop's not working...ack!!!! (I'm typing this at the library.)

First of all, I love the new banner, and I've been meaning to tell you I really like the 'new' layout! How awesome that you got to meet my favorite Marilyn - it's so much fun that you could connect in person. And I love this picture of you, don't remember seeing what you looked like before.
