Mixed CD.

A person of the highest caliber and music taste stepped out of my life recently and back to Alabama where she came from a year ago. For two weeks she let me kidnap her CD album for playings of musics in my kitchen. Beirut, The Cave Singers, Tom Waits, Jens Lekman and some songs her brothers band recorded in a bathroom. Did I say her music taste was the cats pajamas?
Before she left I made her a little playlist of artists I thought she might like and sealed it in embroidery fabric stitched up with embroidery thread. Before I did that I sewed on a little paint sample patch, drew some stars and basically called it a day.
Quick project! Minimal supplies! TA DA!

"I miss your broken China-voice" Lara had said when I played Tom Waits and two weeks later she was gone. Poo.
