So I purchased a Gocco screen printing set from Judy at Northwood Studios full of ideas of what to print, what I was going to make and how awesome it would be. And when I unpacked it, full of anticipation, I suddenly felt like I had nothing to print! So I gave it a few […]

Hiking Again
Every winter I long for the beginning of the hiking season. Something in me craves fresh air on my face and soft earth under my feet. When I was visiting with my sister L’s family over the weekend, we took a trip up into the mountains. All the spring growth has started and it made […]
Twist Collective to Publish Cleite
Remember how way back when I said that Cleite had been snatched up by a publication? That publication is the Twist Collective. And now I can tell you a bit about it. This is a project I was really excited to get behind because it was created as a way for designers to share the […]

Stuff on my Cat
Ekho is a very laid back and relaxed kitty. He follows me from room to room quite often and is generally underfoot in the mornings when you’re half awake and it’s MOST inconvenient for him to be where your feet are. He tolerates me picking him up a lot and actually enjoys being held like […]
