Florida and How I Met Barbara Walker

My next stop after Rhinebeck was southwest Florida to visit with my Grandmother. It was so warm and relaxing, I didn’t really want to come home! And yes, if you must know, there was knitting happening by the pool. The visit seemed so short, but I manage to pack in a decent amount of activities [...]

My Rhinebeck Recap

I know it’s a little late, but you can never have too much Rhinebeck talk, right? Just got back from Florida and finally have a little time to catch up with things! I didn’t really have much of a plan this year, just wanted to have fun and hopefully purchase some great stuff. However, when [...]

Every month they focus on a different craft, get a few speakers together, pull some library books, and everyone comes to make things. This month was a knitting crafternoon and the [...]

Soho, You Make Me Sad

Way back in February, I wrote this post in reaction to Annie Modesitt’s blog post on valuing our work as designers. I had made a personal decision not to submit to Soho publishing anymore for a few reasons, but had hoped that a dialogue would at least be started. Fast forward 8 months, and I [...]

Sweater Weather is here in NYC

It’s October and I can hardly believe it! What I also can’t believe is we immediately went straight to fall as soon as it hit the first. Actually, it feels almost like we went straight from spring to fall – didn’t have much of a summer this year. Shouldn’t complain though, cooler summers mean you [...]
