"Say My Name"

Less Pebbling more Music, lately.  It happens.  A little Ambient/Chill/Trippy Love today. 

Say My Name....


Say My Name by Julianna McDuffie

Pssst!

Music Page updated, yo!

Seriously... There are new links and videos and (gasp!) even some actual information and stuff.

I also kinda/sorta explain the Swedish connection. OK. Not really. It's a long story. And sort of weird. And far-fetched. But there ARE links to the Swedish band I've been working with. And some more stuff, too.

OH! And a little section about my work with the UK musician USB-- a man who actually has SEVERAL albums available. Not to mention makes appearances on a plethora of IDM/electronica compilations. And manages to be a totally nice guy. True story. He is seriously good at what he does. And did I mention that I did some songs with him? I did? 'k.

Grab your earbuds and get to it.

The World According to Pia

Last night, as I was performing my evening ritual of catching up on my favorite blogs, I was stunned and amazed to see one of my absolute favoritest blogs ever blogging about MOI!

Wow!

The backstory on this is that I found the darling Miss Pia by chance, when she was featured on "Blogs of Note" awhile back. I don't always check those out, but I'm so glad I did in this case... I immediately fell in love with her photo essays about life in Sweden, her little "loaf dog", an obsession for the types of shoes I wish I had more of, all things baked and delectable, a penchant for castles and meadows and other assorted bits of loveliness.

In short, the one blog I look forward to reading every evening, even if only a picture of the loaf dog sunning in the backyard or a photo of whatever adorable pair of shoes she wore today.

A few weeks ago, she had a sweet little giveaway, and somehow or other, my name was pulled. As a little thank you, I sent a few pebbles her way.

Well. Gee. Didn't expect such a gorgeous write up about it, but here it is.

The World According to Pia- it's a pretty sweet ol' world after all, and it just gets smaller and smaller by the minute. I love that.

One of the buyers in last week's "Etsy Shop Goes Bananas" fest has posted this to her Exceedingly Lovely tumblr blog....


From peonyandbee:

Are you familiar with the Curious Pebble Project?
I love what this woman is doing.
She hand picks gorgeous tumbled rocks from the beach, whips up little tatted covers for them in a variety of different colored threads, and then returns them to the beach for random strangers to...

So!  Another Pebble has found a home...  and I'm so glad that I looked her up, because, peonyandbee is chock full of handmade loveliness. 

Thank you, Kate!
