While we were in Yosemite I took some portraits of my sister Julie and her amazing family. Julie and Dave got married when I was four. I only have memories of them together. When I was a tot and they were still dating I often got mistook for theirs.
They have gorgeous children. I mean really!

I found these when I was going through my box of photo stuffs. Sir Luke wanted me to scan them and put them on his desktop. They actually fit perfectly across the Powerbook desktop.
I’m not really sure what kind of look I was going for here but the whole lot of them together is kinds rad. Even if it’s totally self indulgent. These were taken in the K-mart in Orem. I love me some photobooths.
Scouting Artisitically
Last night I was on my own for Webelos. Paige and I decided I was capable of leading them in the Artist Activity Badge.
We began with a lovely rendition of “Black Socks” and then we skipped on out the door to begin our painting and discussion of all things art. They got to choose between acrylic paints and watercolors. We had paintings with eagles and palm trees and a couple landscapes with trees. It was a fun adventure.
Then I brought out my 4×5 and they all took turns focusing the camera and bouncing around in front of the lens. I am quick with that camera, thanks in part to my countless photo parties on my roof in Harlem over a year. I like my 4×5 best. Polaroid 4×5.
Pictured: Chasen, Taylor (top middle), Bradley (bottom middle), and Isaac.
They posed themselves. I quite like the symmetrical totem pole look. Isaac made his best “1907” face.
This is my new favorite photo.
Chasen and Bradley’s ride was late so we got to chatting whilst sitting on the curb in front of the church. When I was a kid I wanted to be a children’s book author and illustrator then I wanted to be an optomitrist, followed by an orthodontist.
Bradley said he wanted to “A. be an engineer, B. a plumber, C. an electrician, D. a custodian
Chasen said he wanted to be a writer so he could be at home with his kids. He’d really like to be an astronaut but then he wouldn’t get to see his kids too often.
Who thinks about having their own children at age ten? Amazing.
Twilight
No, no, no not that Twilight. Don’t get any funny ideas.
Pandanus Twilight.
I get to stare at this beauty all day. It’s sorta nice to work for a company who can put up artwork as soon as you have an office. I’m starting to realize I LOVE the color orange. Unfortunately, Sir Luke does not have the same tender spot in his heart that I do for said color.
Oh well.

When I was three Santa Claus brought me an entire play house for Christmas. It was pretty much the highlight of my life.
Currently, my parents use it as a storage shed. At one point my dad tried to make it into a darkroom. But with the heat and lack of ventilation that dream died after one summer.
I like that it’s still there when I go home. Even if I’m three times too big. Ok maybe only twice as big. I also like that my name now rhymes with it. Megan Stay Way
In the Bedroom
Our bedroom has taken a backseat to decorating. We haven’t had the money to really spruce it up. But I have some ideas that have been stewing in my noggin for quite some time.
This headboard has been on my mind and is usually the thing I always say I’m going to do next, but it never quite makes it to fruition.
And I want to get wall sconces for each side of the bed too. I’m digging these.
1. Swing Arm Lamp
2. Bubble Ball Wall Sconce
3. Antler Wall Sconce RAD!
4. Stacked Ball Murano Lamps I’m definitely interested in table lamps too.
Luckily for us our hermit neighbors left a bunch of their stuff in their driveway for a week and it was up for the taking. Thank heavens the night stands were hidden under some weird piece of wood and no one else saw their awesomeness. they remind me of danish design from the 50s or 60s. The detailing on the feet is great too.
I really love them and I can’t wait to make them over! I’ll be painting them or sanding and staining. Unfortunately one of the knobs on one of the drawers is missing (I really like the knobs), which means I’ll have to choose new ones.
Really, who doesn’t like to find new knobs? These are a few I have my eye on at Anthropologie.
1. Oblong Aster Knob
2. Medaglione Knob
3. Mother of Pearl Knob
