Nightmare Fuel






Ok the gun lamp isn't that frightening but it was from the same trip to Winona's Sugarloaf Antiques so I had to include it for the record.

Sonic Motel

I took this photo after a family dinner in Wisconsin on the ride back to Winona. I made the van load of Weispfennings and Wittenbergs pull into the improbably steep driveway just so I could collect this sign. Stuff like this makes me warm and fuzzy inside, its just too bad the rocket and its tail were burnt out.

Welcome to my rant.

Dear Internet,

Welcome to "Cake is good, but Bread is better" home of my musings on such topics as interior, exterior, graphic and furniture design, art, music, movies, shopping, photography, animals, food, travel, mass transit, television, toyota, books and baking. I am going to try and jump around a bit theme wise because it keeps me from talking too much about work and I won't complain about the same thing all the time.

I am a furniture maker and designer based in Saint Paul, Minnesota. I live on the East Side in the Sunray neighborhood. Our big news here is the impending Aldi going in down the street (7 blocks from my house) and the Peace Center which is almost finished and still a mystery. I moved here almost two years ago with my husband of almost 5 years. We moved from Saint Cloud in 2005 when I demanded that we move because I didn't want to work at a factory the rest of my life making the same 12 things. Before that we went to Saint Cloud State where I majored in unemployment (Sculpture): luckily I found a good job here in St Paul, whew. Even before all that we both went to Winona Senior High School in beautiful Winona, Minnesota which is better with nostalgia than in reality. I have a cat named Shatner Chiba, who like his namesakes is hilarious and breaks a lot of shit. Thats enough for now, lets get to some topics!
