So I've hopped on the flickr/twitter nail polish bandwagon. Part of it is because I have an appalling nervous habit of picking at my nails, so for the last few months I've been diligently painting my nails twice a week in an effort to curtail the habit. So far it has worked!

This week's paint job is Valentine's Day themed. I used Orly Star Spangled for the main color, and the grey is NYC In a New York Minute Quickdry in Sidewalkers.

I think Orly might be my favorite nail polish brand so far. This bright red has really grown on me, and was a steal at 50% off at CVS. I painted on the heart with a teeny-tiny brush I picked up at the craft store.

I spent my morning researching cornice and frieze ornaments in the special collections library at CW. It's the only chance I have to get my hands on very expensive 18th century books.

I taught myself how to weave in September 2011, and for the last few months of the year I was a weaving machine. Here are the scarves I finished in 2011, (excluding one final Christmas gift I finished on December 27).

Woven scarf for my cousin Allison. Modeled after the Burberry Giant Check scarf.

Raveled!
