I just added several new jotter designs to the shop! This summer I’ll be working with a printing company to manufacture my jotters in bulk. My plan is to spend less time printing, folding, and stapling and more time being creative. By outsourcing the printing I will also be able to offer my jotters at [...]
Here’s painting number two for my class. For this assignment I had to choose an artist I admire, and do a painting incorporating aspects of his or her work. We were told to take the assignment as literally or as figuratively as we wished. I chose to take it quite literally, because I have a huge [...]
I put this outfit together and thought there was something strangely familiar about it. Then I realized it’s awfully similar to the last outfit I posted. I must have a subconscious craving for yellow with a geometric motif! 1 Botanical Garden Bubble-hem Dress from Ruche 2 Jeuniva Heels from Aldo 3 Black Stained Wood Bangle from Voz Clothing [...]

I’m planning to show you my weekly paintings over the next month whether they look good or not, so brace yourselves! 9″ x 12″ acrylic [...]
Daniel needed a break after working his butt off on Gears of War 3, so he took last week off and relaxed at home. Last night we wrapped up his week of vacation by catching fireflies, and it was just as much fun as when I was a kid. I definitely recommend filling your own [...]
I was going to make a berry cobbler this week, but all my fresh berries turned to mush before I could use them. Don’t you hate it when that happens? So instead I’m satisfying my berry craving by drooling over the photography on the Tartelette blog. I think Helene’s food photography is the best I have [...]
Old movies are the best. My parents opted to forgo cable TV and raised my sister and I on a steady diet of classic films. I didn’t have daily access to cable TV until college, and I think I’m better off for it! I could never list all my favorites, but here’s a small sampling of my [...]

Every shop needs a sign, right? I picked up some hanging metal letters from Lackluster Co, and I’m going to suspend them in my studio. I love them! I think they would also look great displayed in my bathroom over the sink “WASH YOUR HANDS”, in my kitchen “DROP THE COOKIE, FATTY”, or over my [...]
