myrtle + lloyd: Favorite Poem
http://myrtleandlloyd.blogspot.com/2011/08/favorite-poem.html
Unique observations of the beautiful and the mundane. Wednesday, August 17, 2011. A few nights ago, I was sitting at the dining table with Freckled Boy working on the invites to our pre-wedding Bon Voyage celebration (Future Un-Freckled Brother-in-Law refers to this as "the Preception") and somehow we ended up discussing a sad event. I immediately jumped up from the table when I remembered and plucked it from our shelf just under Jason's favorite bottle of Gin. I hadn't opened the book in years, but ...

myrtle + lloyd: Fish Scale Fantastic
http://myrtleandlloyd.blogspot.com/2011/03/fish-scale-fantastic.html
Unique observations of the beautiful and the mundane. Tuesday, March 29, 2011. Sometimes I get fixated on a particular design and just want to cover everything in it. Of late, my obsession is for fish scale patterns. There's something so lovely in the symmetry and the organic root of the repetitive overlapping curves. I've been trying out different ways to incorporate fish scale into my calligraphy projects and am pretty excited to see what develops. Here are a few of my recent crushes and inspirations.

myrtle + lloyd: Things in Beer
http://myrtleandlloyd.blogspot.com/p/things-in-beer.html
Unique observations of the beautiful and the mundane. That's what people always used to tell me about love. I never believed it until I met my future fiance and found that we both shared a mutual fondness for finding animal shapes and spaceships in the foamy residue of craft beer. It was meant to be. I just. Check here for photo updates of our adventures in beer-gazing. BABY ELEPHANT IN BATHTUB. February 16, 2011. Http:/ www.ommegang.com/index.php? Brick Store Pub, Decatur. No Beer Last Weekend.

myrtle + lloyd: Scheduling Creative Time
http://myrtleandlloyd.blogspot.com/2011/08/scheduling-creative-time.html
Unique observations of the beautiful and the mundane. Thursday, August 11, 2011. Looking back over my blog, I find a lot of tiny cries for help woven into my posts. I know that I'm very much at a point in my life where a shift is necessary, and I seem to be constantly implying the question, "How? The trouble is, I've already spent a small fortune pursuing what I now refer to as a "Dinner Conversation Degree" at a women's college in lieu of a sure thing scholarship at a now world-renowned art college.

myrtle + lloyd: Did I Mention I'm Getting Married?
http://myrtleandlloyd.blogspot.com/2011/02/did-i-mention-im-getting-married.html
Unique observations of the beautiful and the mundane. Saturday, February 26, 2011. Did I Mention I'm Getting Married? I'm not and never have been someone who likes a spectacle. But I do like architecture. I think I like San Francisco. I've never actually gone, but everyone is always insisting that I would love love love it. I'm guessing they have conjured images of bad wood paneling and fake ficus trees. Http:/ www.flickr.com/photos/-marlith-/2265765033/sizes/m/in/photostream/. I can't imagine how involv...

myrtle + lloyd: Do not lose sight of the goal. Do not cry like a girl.
http://myrtleandlloyd.blogspot.com/2011/03/do-not-lose-sight-of-goal-do-not-cry.html
Unique observations of the beautiful and the mundane. Monday, March 14, 2011. Do not lose sight of the goal. Do not cry like a girl. This weekend, I had a mission: Find wedding shoes. I know I want a simple dress, so I have no problem with the idea of shoes before dress. It's kinda like dessert first (which I also support wholeheartedly). I'll try it on." I did. But then a problem occurred - I liked it. Then I bought it. And declared to the freckled boy, "I'm going to wear this! I am learning that even t...

http://myrtleandlloyd.blogspot.com/2011/07/playing-ostrich.html
Unique observations of the beautiful and the mundane. Wednesday, July 27, 2011. Wednesday seems as good a day as any to pull my head out the sand and say hello again. I've always been someone who is easily overwhelmed. Sometimes, in the case of chocolate or creme brulee for example, this is wonderful. One bite or two spoonfulls and I'm in a blissful heavenly state. But.other times, I think it keeps me from fully realizing my potential in things or fully experiencing the present. But nevertheless, advice ...
