Radishes from our garden with butter & salt.

Amazing Peonies. Peonies always remind me of my childhood.
My neighbor in Iowa had beautiful peonies. The big blossoms would poke through our chain link fence. Big black ants loved the nectar that would seep from the flowers; I'd watch the ants drinking it up, fascinated.

Cannot believe that this is our backyard sometimes.

Little baby blood oranges.

Untitled ERMIE Fall '11 textile. Love this one. Maybe I need to have another naming contest? Worn with my Dream Collective necklace that magically goes with everything.

The Bar-B.

Shoes on the sofa!

Evening light.

Lamb-y kins.

The front yard.

Yep. Enjoying this new camera. I barely have to edit- such fantastic crispness & color!


**Thanks for all the ERMIE love!**

Playing with my new (used) camera- Canon Rebel XTI that I purchased from a very generous lady.
These were taken with the lens that came with the camera: GG (my god son) and I were taking pictures of each other- we discussed the subject of flash vs. no flash ;)

With my new 50mm lens. It gets pretty great detail.

Textile designs © Jennifer Parry Dodge & Tomory Dodge 2010-2011

A little sneak peek for you of outtakes & selections from the upcoming ERMIE Spring/Summer '11 Look Book.

All photographs by Jeana Sohn a.k.a. the woman who can do anything (and do it very well).

The model is Katie Hanburger: designer, maker, professor, mother & muse. She designed the ERMIE logo that I use as my header for this blog. Collaborator with Julie Cho for their art/paper goods project The Slow Season.

For this collection I will be donating 5% from every sale to the Japan Society's Earthquake Relief Fund.

I'm working to get the proper look book up very soon, and apply it to the shop- so you can plan your purchases! I'll hopefully get this done in the next couple days, and I'm aiming for a shop opening on Friday, May 27th. Just in time for Memorial Day Weekend!

Any questions? Please feel free to email me at jparrydodge at gmail dot com!

Today's breakfast: Fusion Breakfast Taco's. Leftover Kimchee Fried Rice with hardboiled egg, avocado, sesame seasoned seaweed, & Tapatio on a corn tortilla.
I figured if Kogi can do it, why can't I?


IMG_7181

Some of the ingredients used in the Kimchee Fried Rice and the Green Onion Pancake (both pictured down below). I purchased them all here. They are all natural (no MSG, no preservatives) and in some cases organic!

Below: the Gochujang Paste. I now have a whole tub of it- I might try to use it in some of the recipes I found here.

We are having a bout of rainy winter-like weather here in L.A.
When it's dark & stormy out, I crave comfort food (carbs). We had a double dose last night! Above- my pancake...not as pretty as Jeana's but it still tasted good. Next time I'll thin the batter a bit more & use more veggies. Serve it with a salad or a variation of this soup on the side. The Kimchee Fried Rice was excellent. I used the brand of Kimchee that was recommended by Jeana & Bo- really tasty!

The other thing I'm doing besides eating: getting ready for the ERMIE shoot this Friday.

Jeana is going to be taking the photographs again (hooray!) and Katie is my model this time around.
Exciting!

I'm sure y'all probably saw this already- but Jenny was featured on the Makers Project. Her new collection is as spot-on as always, but what I'm really excited about are the prints she's designing (check out the scarf !!). Nice!!

Speaking of scarves...the ERMIE Ave. 51 Print is currently vacationing in Greece!
