Maggie, channeling her inner teenager

She could not understand why I seemed unhappy that she'dgiven herself red marker lipstick.


Apple, meet tree.

Still more snow day...

This afternoon brought to you by gray skies and pumpkin pie.

Snow Day: part 3

Working on plates... I'm very excited about a wonderful new store in Chicago that will be carrying them this spring, but more on that when it's time...


I'd also like to say that a very special, very limited edition Chinese New Year's tea is now available at Andrews & Dunham Damn Fine Tea (http://www.damnfinetea.com). Only 50 tins in this series!

Snow Day, continued...

In honor of Thing-A-Day 2010, I'm chronicling things I'm making today while P&M have a day off school...


Chocolate chip pancakes...



The second of what I'm sure will be many, many espressos (espressi? I dunno...) throughout the day...



I'm on to knitting now...

Snow Day

We got snow...


It's lovely and P&M are out of school for the day. I'm going to be making stuff all day...

February is here, so it must be Thing-A-Day time!

One of my favorite annual activities -- Thing-A-Day -- is back. During the month of February, several hundred (I think) people have signed up and pledged to make something new each day and chronicle their activities. Yay!

Here are my first two posts:

Newborn Cocoon Embellishment

Teacher Appreciation Day Bowl

There's a lot of cool stuff going on through Thing-A-Day. Visit the site and get inspired!
