Tonight after work I went to the Rag Shop in Brooklyn - I rode the D train out to 55th Street, which is apparently Boro Park. The neighborhood is very Polish, Hasidic Jewish, and I think Russian. It was really interesting to see another part of Brooklyn - I'll maybe get into that in a later post. Anyway, I've been inspired lately to get back into making things - cards, jewelry and the like - and have spent the past week trolling around the city trying to find the right supplies.

So I came home and made a couple cute things - I'm being vague because these will probably be Christmas presents - and I have to wait until tomorrow to see how they set. I'm excited, but nervous... you know how sometimes you think you have a marvelous idea for creating something and then it just turns out terribly sub-par? I really hope they don't turn out like that, because I had been enthusiastically planning it for the last couple days.

Anyway, tomorrow brings my first run in a couple weeks, a full day at work, and a lovely dinner in with a good friend and Will Ferrell. I'd better get in bed...
