(Brene and I earlier this year) Recently, my friend Brene asked if I would design a special edition of her brilliant parenting manifesto. And I loved creating it for her. The manifesto is straight from her best selling book, Daring Greatly, a book I highly recommend...

Obsessing: Parenthood, the TV show. I started with season 1 a couple weeks ago (via netflix) and am currently in the middle of season 2. LOVE this show. Wouldn’t have likely loved it pre-parenthood, but love it now. The nuances, the still moments of...

Big stuff going on over here, including a huge back deck project that involved new roofs, garden shed, etc etc. A few weeks ago, this was a mud pit. And now, well we’re enjoying it and getting it ready for lots of use this summer. The area to the right is our...

The dream? Andrea and I wanted to host an event where we’d gather around a table with a collection of women, and simply talk about creativity, business, life, love. Super simple. Why? Because we knew that women + conversation + a dash of serendipity mixed in =...

(Mati Rose, Andrea, Me) I’ve been working too much. Too hard. Too fast. I have a bad habit, sometimes, of getting too locked in without coming up for air. John finally had enough, took matters into his own hands, and kicked me to the curb for a surprise four...

My studio table, photo by Andrea Scher I just re-read my 2010 recap and made the recognition (realization) that this year, 2011, was about all about recovering from last year, 2010. Sort of hilarious, but so true… it took an entire year to recover, to process,...

I’m going to try and go to most of Portland’s holiday craft fairs. I want to get inspired. I want to meet other Portland artists, mama crafters, and support local artisans. And I want to get out of my house (can I get an amen, other work from home moms?)....

Hands down, one of my favorite finds this year has been Whippy Cake. They were a vendor at the TCC market place back in September and I went a little nuts (all of us girls did) trying on all the cute flowers in my hair, on my sweater, on my belt, and on and on....
