Bits Of My Weekend
This weekend I was a jewelry making machine. I’m perfectly on schedule, so there will definitely be a shop update in two weeks! I got so much done this weekend it makes a case for barely leaving the apartment…ha. But I did manage to meet up with Andrea who was in town, and we kicked it on Abbott Kinney while I longed for her adorable haircut and outfit. Talk about girl crush. I also read good books, bossa nova’d myself out, played a lot of nerdy board games, drank a lot of wine, and made a lot of delicious meals from scratch.
As you may have noticed, I’m starting to put short little “moving photos” into Bits Of My Weekend – short videos to bring to life some of the photos. I hope you like them! I was using flickr, but it destroyed the quality, so I’m putting them on my vimeo account now.
ps. Happy Birthday, mom!

I’m so excited about the necklace update! Maybe this will be the time I finally nab one, haha. I love the videos too, they take Bits to a whole new level :)

i always love the bits of your weekend! and i like the moving photos a lot. -though i almost never click on videos, but i didn’t regret ;)-
what i like most about them i guess is the background ‘noise’. sometimes i feel like i’d love to add some specific sound to my photos.

HAHA Krista, I meant actual bossa nova, the music, not the restaurant:)
Máni, that’s exactly what I was going for, so I’m glad you think so!

I love the moving photos! such a good idea -and so cool that vimeo makes it possible to integrate them so seamlessly! I usually dislike videos on blogs because of the bad quality and all the ugly graphics i have to remember how much vimeo stands out -maybe i should give videos a chance…

You always have the most beautiful photos on your blog! I love succulents and your look so big and healthy! My cat also sniffs anything dirty like shoes or laundry. That pretzel sandwich looks so good! I’ve never seen anything like it but I would love to try something similar!

Such an inspiration! Your “moving pictures” add a very special touch to the photos. What a fantastic idea and how well executed. Cutting-edge blogging — wouldn’t expect anything less from For Me, For You.

i’m listening to your rain mix (even though it’s sunny in santa cruz) and drooling a massive puddle over that window box photo. that might be the most glorious succulent collection i’ve ever seen. i love how those little guys hang like that. fabulous.

wendy shoe face is the best thing i’ve seen in a long time.

Basically everything in this post. Love it.
Also, I’ve noticed I’ve always loved your tops. I’m finding it really hard to find tops that have a higher cut, and sit well. Any suggestions for where to look maybe?

Brodie I’m having the same problem too! I haven’t bought a new top in white a while. But H&M and Zara are really killing it lately, I will say. Madewell makes great stuff, though not always in my price range. Their t-shirts are soft and dress up nicely.

Such beautiful photos. I wish it was that sunny here in Vancouver. On another note, I started the 30 day shred after reading about it on your blog and now it’s kicking my butt! Level two is totally crazy! We just started today and I could barely do some of the stuff. I love it, though. Thanks for the tip!

Those kitty cat paper clips are to die for! And I’m totally loving the “moving photos” too, keep ‘em comin’.

I love the moving photos Kate. The idea that so much more goes into a photo – like the sounds behind it, or the moving sun…than just one click… beautiful. xo

What kind of camera did you use for the moving photos? They are lovely.
[Reply]
May 6th, 2011 at 12:45 pm
i was wondering the same about the camera you use for video. i’ve been using a digital camera to take short videos but, recently i’ve been considering between a few handhelds to use exclusively for video.
moving photo is definitely a wonderful addition here.
