As I acknowledged in my report on what I did this summer, it is time for me to get back to the creative life, which we all know is easier said than done. So today, as I was eating zucchini bread (which I baked myself as part of my summer vacation) and watching LA Ink [...]
I clearly remember having moments throughout my childhood when I would think about how one day, as a grown-up, I would no longer have a summer vacation. I knew that I would leave school and say “Goodbye” to three hot months of little obligation. Little did I know that even as an adult I [...]
Many moons ago, I mentioned stuggling with a crown design for my Wee-One’s birthday party. Well I completed it ages ago, fell in love with it and have finally gotten around to making it available to everyone through my Etsy shop.

I opened the beach house with my mother yesterday. Waiting for the ferry was a perfect half hour.
