I’ve been working on my artistic practice and have decided to share some of my more recent practice designs, here. And maybe some thoughts, but mostly just images. 

It’s Saturday, which has become a working morning for me and it is glorious. In the spirit of un-interrupted thoughts, I have some things to share for your weekend. 

I made this soup and it was amazing. Make sure you really caramelize the onion and fennel. Thanks Gwyneth! 

I am watching all the Monty Don garden specials I can get my hands on. Obsessed. And I can’t wait to start gardening again in the spring! So many ideas for my small garden. 

Listening to this delightful podcast. Charming, fresh, interesting. I love it! I gobbled up all the episodes and now am eagerly waiting for more. 

Remembering Mary Oliver and the beauty of her poetry. What a gift she was to the world. 

Enthralled by John Derian’s NYC apartment. The entire 18th c. Swedish wall is just the best. I visited his store on my last (long ago) visit to New York, and it was some of the best time I spent in the city. So lovely.  

And now, off to do glamourous weekend things like laundry and dishes and dusting. I hope you enjoy your weekend, whatever you are up to.

Hi friends! I was going to send this on Monday morning, and here we are on  Friday… Anyway, I have regular office hours these days, and it is fabulous! Lots of ideas percolating, designing, a little bit of painting… And sometimes, sharing with you on ye olde blog. 

Artist, Suzanne Jongmans, is turning packaging material into beautiful Renaissance costumes. I love this kind of stuff. 

Reading this article. Sobering and so, so sad. But, we all need to do something about the way we treat the earth. NOW. 

I’m not sure how to follow that, but I have been trying to make small changes in my own life. I’ve switched to bamboo toothbrushes, a soap bar for face wash and shampoo and conditioner. Small things, but I feel like we all need to start somewhere and go from there. Also, we need to vote for the green movement.  

I’m excited for Christmas but in the non-consumeristic/mindful variety. Buying gifts, just to give something seems so tiresome these days. I am all about gift-giving, but want to do so with intention and thoughtfulness. This article, even though written several years ago, seems very timely.  I know there are a million gift guides out there this time of year, but maybe I’ll pull together some ideas I have. What do you think? 

Hope you have a lovely weekend, friends!
