as wine, the strongest heads
There are two hats hanging on a hook in the garage. To be honest, I am afraid of wearing either one of them: I think there are spiders or maybe these weird almost-clear geckos in them. And who even knows what else might be in there that I would prefer not to have on my head.
But I didn’t encounter anything dangerous when I made this photo.

one stitch holds it all
I have four or five vintage quilts; I don’t know the provenance of any of them, other than to say they are soft and old and lovely.
I like to think that this one stitch is the one holding the entire quilt together.

christmas (lights) in july
First of all, if you see cloth-covered electrical wires on home decor, it’s probably because it’s a real design-y lamp. If you see cloth-covered electrical wires on an abandoned building, it probably because at the place is old AF and was/is a fire hazard.
But at least the switch was off.
Secondly, how about those Christmas lights, which look for all the world like someone painted them?

life moves quickly (except for the slow parts)
Although it doesn’t sound correct, this is in fact my wedding dress. A blurry, purple-ish version of it, anyway. I was working on an assignment for an online photography class and while this didn’t even come close to what I was supposed to be working on, I still liked it.
(My mom made my dress, from Vogue pattern number 1363. It has about 54 miles* of lace hand-stitched onto the chiffon skirt. She would be very disappointed to see this photo, which blurred all her hard work.)
*According to the information on the back of the pattern, the dress required 11 yards ( ! ) of lace, which doesn’t even sound plausible. Maybe I need to take an Actual Photo of the dress instead of this one…
PS: Here’s the pattern. Please note that my dress had neither the cape attachment nor the headscarf atrocity.
a difficult shot
I am not a sports person, but even I can tell that this basketball goal is inconveniently located.
