summer wish list....

Yesterday, here in NY it was 80 degrees. It's summer time! Um, did we even have a spring though? oh well...

Working from home, I feel a bit cloistered, especially during the winter.  Who wants to go out in that mess if you don't have to? Not me!

But come summer, it's hard to concentrate, hard to stay in and not just take a walk. 

Here's my summer wish list & things I'm just looking forward to:

• a visit to Herkimer Diamond Mines so I can dig up my own quartz crystals!
• collecting old trash at Dead Horse Bay
• Squam Art Workshops: How could I not be excited to teach an embroidery class!!??
• camping- Know any good places around the NY area?
• Renegade Craft Fair Brooklyn: If you are in NY June 11 & 12 you better come say hi to me!!
• lots of bike rides
• picnics in the park

Reminiscing about last summer...

visiting home in CA & see my parent's little dogs Dexter & Buddy Lee


Getting a mad sunburn &working my Letter Service at Renegade Los Angeles


We rescued this bear of a cat, who now has a great home & new name, Percopious


Making little letters at a Shiny Squirrel pop-up shop. So glad to have met Jessica, miss Shiny Squirrel herself & Lisa Butterworth too!


Whats on your summer list?!

summer walks...

...while it was sunny last week we took a walk in our neighborhood of crown heights.

ny always has great trash. it makes me so incredibly sad to see so many perfectly useful things just thrown away, especailly books. seeing books in the trash drives me crazy!! plus you find things like this!

it's cat city here! so. many. cats.

photoshoot- what else do you do on your walk, but take pictures in an alley? really. i like how we both made the same pose (in reverse) in our respective images. this may be the first image i've ever posted an image of myself here.... hello there!
