In honor of that anniversary last Friday, we celebrated total happiness by heading to Brooklyn Fish Camp, where we made short work of a few oysters, shrimp, an awfully tasty grilled lobster and lobster roll, and one amazing sundae. Our tendency is not toward moderation.
Saturday morning, we got up bright and early headed to [...]
As you might expect, it’s been a long, busy & productive week. I had a lot of reminders of just how great we have it around here. I can often find reasons to be frustrated, worried, antsy, and concerned, but I do try and remember, as often as I possibly can, that we [...]
I’ve been working on several more drop spine boxes for stationery this week, and am steadily sewing my way through a small mountain of books whose covers and pages fill my work table. A few of the baby books…
This is just a taste of some fun things to come, and our philodendron [...]
I’ve had four teachers and professors in my life who challenged me to use as few words as I could to say the most possible. Every once in a while, it’s a good exercise to know that you only have one page and that you really can get your point across.

This week just might qualify as breathless. The good news is that the intense butterfly laps I seem to be solidly in the middle of are being done amidst lots and lots of gorgeous paper and verrrrry satisfying projects.
It’s possible that somewhere in the middle of all this, even, I [...]
As you may have predicted, it’s been another busy weekend around here, yielding yet another stack of new journal covers, another set of books finished and starting to hit Etsy, lots of new cards, business cards, and fun ideas, and another week about to begin.
That characteristic autumn chill hasn’t exactly hit the air [...]
Ok, ok…I won’t go on and on about how busy I am, but I will show you what we’ve been busy doing. Please note the pronoun toward the end of that last sentence.
Though I tried to hide it discreetly in the middle of the kitchen, Matt has found the hulking block of cast iron [...]
