2.3.2025 14:26Comment on February 2025 by promisesunshineIn February I made another quilt (shocking, I know)–this one has a Time and Space theme, because I made it on the patio at Gallifrey One. And because sometimes the fabric of time and space needs some mending. Some of these prints are from friends or neighbors, a few are from thrifted clothes, and some […]
1.3.2025 05:20February 2025It’s been hard to do too much in the last couple months. Shorter days and the hope of rain mean I haven’t done new chalk; colder days and smoky air mean I haven’t done chalk despite the lack of rain. I might try soon. (We had rain this week, finally, so the air should be […]

Started reading <i>White Rage</i> by Hari Kunzru but had to return it to thelocal public library unfinished. I just picked up <i>Entitlement</i> by Rumaan Alam and plan to read it over the fallow period before work picks up again here in Kansas City. Spending most of my free time working in a pair of writing projects. Happy New Year, ~Mike</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

2.12.2024 21:41Comment on November 2024 by GraceNovember was a busy month for making things, in the shorter days and the run-up to the gifting season. I made two more quilts (one quite large and neon, not pictured; one very Christmasy, pictured). The chalk on our walk was season-appropriate, based loosely on John William Waterhouse’s Boreas (1903). I made a reversible Dodgers […]
1.12.2024 03:26November 2024Very busy month of making stuff for me! Chalked a reanimated cat lady for Halloween, chalk for the Belmont Shore Chalk Art Contest. I made two more quilts mostly from scraps I got on #BuyNothing (thanks neighbors!), one of them a rainbow quilt for a young friend, one of them another Christmas quilt (for gifting […]
1.11.2024 01:51October 2024It was a good month of making stuff here. I’m still in quilt-making mode, so I made more small quilts in September, probably destined for Christmas gifts. I also crocheted a Fujippi, the mascot of Shizuoka Prefecture. I made a Shutterfly photobook documenting Jake’s summer “World Tour of LA” outdoor dining adventure, also destined for […]

2.9.2024 12:45Comment on August 2024 by Lisa ClarkeBusy fun month of making stuff here in August 2024. And Nell visited from Japan, which was also fun; I mended some trousers for her. I made another quilt, with superhero fabric scraps from a neighbor via Buy Nothing; that went to live in Atlanta with some young grand-nephews. I chalked a little Paris-inspired scene […]
1.9.2024 08:40August 2024Another busy making month here. I drew a chalk shoebill stork on on front walk. I made my first quilt, a small one with animal-themed prints, from a box of quilting cotton scraps a neighbor gave me (thanks to Buy Nothing, as usual). I’m still working on the crocheted hexagons I started when Jake was […]
1.8.2024 04:08July 2024Another busy month of making stuff here. The Trashion Show happened June 9 in Long Beach, and was great fun–my model Cory was excellent; he and I both wore the dresses and overlayers that I made from old t-shirts, sewn, crocheted, and dyed. (The models and designers in the show ranged from 6 years old […]
1.7.2024 01:52June 2024Busy month here! I finished three chalk drawings on our walk in May: A Star Wars-themed drawing for a May the 4th event, which only existed in its final form for about 24 hours before it got rained out (unusual for May here); a Mother’s Day drawing based on Gabriele Münter’s 1909 portrait of fellow […]

1.6.2023 21:23Comment on Alphabetical lunch series 2023: Outdoor dining edition by May 2023 | Pennamite[…] In autumn 2018, Jake and I had an “alphabetical lunch” series, where we went out to eat at 26 places, from Amandine to Zacatecas. Places had to have food Jake would eat (so, realistically, a breakfast/brunch/dessert menu), and be reasonably accessible and welcoming to us. We preferred non-chain places and didn’t lean too hard into the Beach Cities, because there are so many amazing options in Torrance, Gardena, Inglewood, El Segundo, etc.In spring 2023, we did it again, but this time added a requirement: the places had to provide some form of outdoor dining. It might be some plastic chairs set up outside a boba shop, or a full patio set up. But since we’re still not doing indoor socializing, outdoor dining was key. (And honestly? We had no trouble finding 26 places, A-Z, to eat safely outdoors. It’s just not that hard, and it is often very pleasant.)Here’s this year’s series, with links to our Instagram posts from each place. We started this series on April 11 and finished on May 27.1. A is for Azucanelas (Hawthorne)2. B is for Blue Butterfly (El Segundo)3. C is for Capri Gelato (Hermosa Beach)4. D is for Dipped (El Segundo)5. E is for Eclair & Cafe (Torrance)6. F is for Frogs Bakery (Gardena)7. G is for Grain Cafe (Redondo Beach)8. H is for Honeymee (Gardena)9.

I think I inherited that one from Nell; it's fun to have kids old enough to share books sometimes, right?
