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...

(New work: print available here, original sold) I’ve been having some awesome conversations with some friends lately about marriage (growing pains), about creativity (big ideas), about business (innovating), about motherhood (unrelenting but awesome), about...

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 =...

(new print, available here)I have this very very clear memory from college when I realized the connection between beauty and healing. My friend Ali and I were both in the midst of typical sad college era break ups. We were down and out, heartbroken, and spending our...

I can be a hard nut to crack sometimes. But this video had me sobbing, SOBBING. The full story is here. Huge thanks to Lise, the talented woman who gifted this song to me. I am without words. Just tears. Lise’s full story is a testament to the powerful ways in...

Mati is one of my bff’s, for sure. But she is also one of my favorite artists. Her tube socked creatures make me swoon. I would be so delighted to decorate True’s entire room with her tube socked animals! I found the above piece in her studio along...

(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...

The holiday decorations came down and that inspired us (me) to rearrange our living room quite a bit from the original set up. I thought I’d share with you how our main room looks these days. It’s changed a bit now that True is running around and operation...

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,...

So, remember when I told you that I signed up for Rachael Taylor’s upcoming ecourse on how to create repeat patterns? It’s been a dream of mine to learn how to create patterns that could possibly be turned into fabric designs and more, so I’m...

it’s more than a song. it’s a chant. a mantra. a hymn. a meditation, and a lullaby. i’ve been singing it to baby True and I hope that every word, every piece of it, sinks into his soul, his bones, his heart. May the Grace of God be with you always,...
