{Inspiration} A Toy Train in Space...


When I see things about little boys, boys & their dads, toy trains, space, & fun experiments- I  stop what I'm doing & pay attention. So, when I ran across this video on the oeuf blog today & was immediately interested & smitten. Of course Sayer & I have watched it many times today...

"We sent my son's favorite train "Stanley" to space in a weather balloon with a HD camera and an old cell phone for GPS. He was recovered 27 miles away in a corn field and we got some great footage of the trip. This video documents the journey from liftoff to landing.

Isn't this fantastic? It made me smile & I felt like sharing...
Hope you are having a great week!

{Music Monday} Over & Over & Over ...


Wow, it's been quiet on the ol' klt:sketchbook! Things have a funny way of swooping my time away during these holiday months. It's that same old story of balance - making sure I'm present enough to enjoy the holiday festivities with my family, while staying on top of things in the studio at the same time. Right now I'm bogged down with wholesale orders that are of the time consuming nature (mobiles & plush) which means I'm in need of some good tunes. Andrew Bird's new album, Hands of Glory came out right when I needed it to. It's actually being passed from car to car & studio to studio because Chris likes it just as much as I do!  It's one of those albums where I can listen to it over & over again & I couldn't keep this little gem a secret....


This is one of my favorite songs on the disc & it's played so beautifully live! Here's another interesting listen if you have the time.... Andrew Bird Plays Sounds from a Room.

I'm going to do my best to check in more often in the next few weeks, but if you don't see me here, you can assume that I'm not caught up with orders yet. In the meantime, would you like to enjoy my favorite musician with me?

What are you listening to these days?
