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

Assignment: Dog 52 :: Week 9

It’s that time of year: the stakes are high, the games are long and the stitches are red. I hear they serve hot dogs and sausages and cheesy things at the place where they play (it’s called a PARK, people.) Any sport that plays with a ball I can carry around in my mouth is… 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

Assignment: Dog 52 :: Week 8

I wonder how many minutes we dogs spend waiting? Seem like half my life is waiting… waiting for you to come back to the car, to walk in the door, to pet me. You should be petting me every spare second you have, but that’s a rant for another day. But no matter what, I… Continue Reading

52 Pick-Up :: Week 8

Week 8 :: Living in the Northeast in the autumn means fresh apples. We’re fortunate to live so close to many orchards that have fresh, organic apples plucked right off the trees. And I’m so glad that both my boys like to eat apples… maybe a little too enthusiastically, huh? I’m entering this photo in… Continue Reading

OM :: The Worst Day Ever

Those were my 8-year-old’s words last night when I told him he had to go to bed right after he cleaned his room. He would lose his reading time with me AND his reading time on his own, both very precious privileges to him. Both boys have to clean their rooms each night before bed,… Continue Reading
