bella is an underthetable kind of dog. she loves it under there. if she’s not there, then she’s either on the green couch: or sprawled out on our bed: she’s been spoiled in this way for over 10 years. she’s a part of our family and we love...

i wanted to share this photo of my sister in law liz. she was inspired by the recent paintings that mati and i did together and asked if she could come tinker with paints in my studio. the two paintings she made were a result of her tinkerings. pretty cool, eh?...

i was a seriously nerdy kid with horrible haircuts. as you can see in almost all of these photos, i apparently had a thing for stripes. and bad perms. and awkward smiles. and i’m pretty sure i was constantly mistaken for a boy for a few years. i grew up in the...

(i love it when i find a flower sprouting up from an everyday sidewalk crack. it always makes me wonder about what beauty is sprouting in the cracks of our hearts.) a beloved friend saw me clearly from so many miles away when she sent me a sweet note: “you have...

you guys, thanks so much for the well wishes. i’ve been chatting with my mom throughout the day and she is hanging in there. more doctor visits, more tests, lots of waiting and resting, and observing. nobody is sure what’s going on, and the truth is is...

so, it’s extremely hot and humid here in florida and a trip to the very air conditioned craft store was in order. when we arrived, i caught a glimpse of one our favorite magazines: somerset life. i was so excited to see it. why? because i had heard a rumor that...
