The White Rabbit has moved on to other courts, but I have yet to finish sorting all of the photos and writing coherent sentences about them. It’s been a really busy couple of weeks, just one of those seasons when a whole bunch of things happen and pile up all at once and all I [...]

Look at my new Weekender Bag. Just look at it! It was a Christmas gift from my mother-in-law, and oh! I have had my eye on this Amy Butler bag for years, but have always shied away when I read the reviews that said it was a complicated pattern and required a multitude of materials. [...]

Quiet and focused. That’s me at the moment, so not much to say for now, but this is a bit of inspiration for something new I’m starting for a friend. It’s beautiful, and I hope I can do it justice. More to come….

The first new sketch in 2013! I’ve said it before, but January may be one of my favorite months of the year (despite my deep and abiding love for Summer). This wasn’t always the case, but I have come to really appreciate the resetting that takes place at the beginning of a new year, not [...]

Twenty-twelve felt to me like the Year of the Slug. Or the Sloth. No, wait, the Sludge. Really, just fill in any slow-moving something-or-other and you’ll have the idea. If you look at the stats—number of blog posts, number of actual items created, number of items sold—in comparison to previous years, it wasn’t terribly productive. [...]

Well, hi. The other day, my 3-year-old was wandering around the house taking pictures with my phone. Before deleting approximately 178 blurry photos of every square inch of wall, carpet, furniture, window, etc. in our house, I did take a peek at them, just to see the world through his eyes. And I actually found [...]

You’ll let me place-hold with weekend retreat photos a little longer, won’t you? You see, I did The Color Run yesterday, which meant getting up at 4 a.m. to drive to Washington, D.C., and then clowning around all day with the other girls on my team, and then returning home and collapsing into an exhausted [...]

I’ve gotten as far as taking some photos of some new artwork, some new crafty things. Once I get around to actually, you know, putting those photos on the computer and such, I’ll share them. Maybe next week, after the field trip and The Color Run. In the meantime, to distract you (ha!), some pictures [...]

I am working on building up some creativity again. It’s just that right now it’s more along these lines…. He’s so wonderfully creative. (You might be able to see in the blur that he’s giving his character two heads.) So I sat down and built some tinker toys. It’s something, right? I do have some [...]

I took these photos quite a few weeks ago, when I was in the midst of a baking flurry. There were homemade pop tarts and rolls and breads…. I’ve calmed down a little since then, but I’m still making bread whenever I need to–not for the lack of bread but for the grounding that comes [...]
