starry night at the moma

Thanks to D and C's wonderful wedding present, Mr. SD and I went to the members only night at MoMA. It was still crowded, but the paintings were worth it. There were also letters to his brother and other with sketches of future paintings. Mr SD wondered why I didn't send him letters with drawings in them, and I pointed out that we were in the same place, so no need for letters, but he objected. How will they display these drawings in the museum when I am famous?

This painting, Starry Night Over the Rhine, is my favorite. I think it would look perfect over my bed, matching perfectly with my quilt.

It was nice to wander around the rest of the museum, which was basically empty. We got to see a pretty interesting Miro exhibit, which i think i enjoyed more than Mr. SD, but hopefully he liked some of it. There is also a huge video installation that opens next week, but they had the videos on last night. I hope to go back and get the full experience soon.

Mr SD and I felt so adventurous and cultured wandering the city on a Tuesday night.

Thanks D & C!

Goodnight and thanks for the cookies

Well, they are calling it over, and i am inclined to believe them. Obama won for my birthday! I am going to sleep, but first a few more cookies:



Thanks for stopping by and decorating with me! Good night.

Still reporting live from my election/birthday event. We have decorated more cookies, and are watching the returns. Anyway, I saw this post earlier on Apartment Therapy, and thought these doors were a perfect image for the day. Hope that you all voted. I did, and got the perfect birthday pressent, no line... more guests making cookies! Will post more photos later.

celebrating election day with cookies

Blogging live from my election/birthday happening. This was my attempt at cookie decorating. Couldn't find any cupcakes with white frosting (the ones in the supermarket are still orange from Halloween, which is a little scary) so went with chocolate chip cookies, which is truthfully are probably better than cupcakes. Got the idea after a lively debate about Obama and Mccain cakes, cookies, and candies inspired by yeswecake.com, so I decided to just get the appropriate colors of frosting and let people decorate for themselves. I made these before everyone arrived, and I already had a friend attempt to decorate his cookie, but he ate it before I could take a photo!
