Week 13 :: Documenting the brief turn of a leaf… this Japanese maple leaves turn red for about 10 days. And without fail, every year within those 10 days, we get a storm that blows the delicate leaves off and away. The leaves have already met with the rake.… Continue Reading

OM :: The Situation
My husband and I had a Parent-Teacher Conference with Eli’s Kindergarten teacher this week. We were curious about what his teacher would say in the meeting, not knowing what kind of student he would be. Not that he isn’t smart and curious, but he’s also stubborn, talkative and a rule-stretcher. Our oldest son, Abe, had…… Continue Reading
52 Pick-Up :: Week 12
Week 12 :: I don’t often get truly surprised when I hike/run on familiar trails. I appreciate being outside and enjoying nature as much as possible and when I see something I’ve never seen before, it is remarkable. This shock of pink was so pretty, I used my cell phone to capture the image. I…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Packaging
My moment this week is all about the packaging. I prepped the biggest amount of paper goods I’ve ever produced for the month-long Craftland show in Providence that starts at the end of this month. I thought I had made my plans well, but got run over by the packaging. In the end though, I’m…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Grays and Greys
I have a problem. I haven’t kept it a secret, but it’s starting to get ridiculous. To maintain my *original* dark brown hair color, I need to dye my hair every three weeks, minimum. I’ve always done it myself with good results, but it really is becoming silly with its frequency. Plus, being a proponent…… Continue Reading
The Meetup :: November 2010
Welcome to November – yikes! I have been up to my whatever in holiday designs and I finally launched those puppies in the store. I was able to get to four out of my six Work goals (note the hearts) this month, so I’m pretty happy with the month. I really need to wrap up…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Miles
One of my favorite quotes from the accidentally-wise, Mike Tyson, is “Everybody’s got plans… until they get hit.” Oh, the plans I had for October… But I’ve been doing this work-at-home, be your own boss indie biz for long enough to know that you make your plan and you cross off what you can. One…… Continue Reading
Tiny Holiday Preview
It’s been sparse posting in these here parts (and I’m a bit punchy)… I knew October would be a bit of a ghost town. But as you can see from your calendar, it’s almost November (gulp!) So, below is a tiny preview of the designs I’ve been finalizing these past few weeks. I’ll be sending…… Continue Reading
52 Pick-Up :: Week 9
Week 9 :: Just spent a lovely weekend in Cape Cod, Magic-chussettes (as my 5yo says.) My husband and I were alone together for about 48 hours for the first time since the first boy was born. We’ve had a few overnights in these past years, but not TWO! We will definitely be making that…… Continue Reading
OM :: The 10th
Yup. 10 year anniversary. Today. This photo is of my husband and I singing at our wedding. (I’m laughing and he’s singing, but we did switch that back & forth.) We borrowed the idea of a Mitzvah wedding from one of his friend’s receptions. We asked our guests to come up with a brief story,…… Continue Reading
