Monday, December 15th, 2008My mom always foists the job of wrapping gifts onto me, but it’s one chore I never mind - and how could I, when there are items like these to work with?
Shown above are an assortment of handmade graphic wrapping papers from Rifferaff (fantastic blog here on the crafting biz); candy cane wrapping paper from [...]
Draw draw draw.
Friday, October 3rd, 2008The drawings at draw draw draw make me smile - the style reminds me of the illustrations in some of my favorite books growing up, and the blog is like a kind of droll graphical diary. Artist Liz Tjepkema says:
Computers frustrate me, but I like blogs. This blog will feature drawings documenting my stuff [...]
Books for cooks.
Friday, May 23rd, 2008From Angela Liguori, a gorgeous accordion-fold book that looks just as delicious as the Italian recipes printed upon it. Its beauty really lies in the details - a little modern, a little Victorian… I like it!
Angela was originally trained in book arts in her native Rome, but now resides in Boston, where she runs [...]
Look at this beauteous beauty.
Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008An aside on my other favorite topic: food. Merril and I created this massive and life-changing sandwich recently, and we call him… The Best Friend. Think thick slices of whole wheat bread, caramelized raisins, bubbling hot cheddar cheese, honey roasted turkey, apple butter, and tart slices of granny smith apple. Visit her [...]
Time for Cheese.
Tuesday, March 4th, 2008Big shoutout to realfriends (and now blogfriends) Julie Goldman and Becca Plofker, who recently started the deliciously kooky Time for Cheese (and Other Things that Make You Go YUM) blog. You know I like food blogs nearly as much as I like design blogs, but this one is particularly near and dear to my [...]
Random Creative.
Wednesday, January 30th, 2008So I was Googling myself today (yes I do it from time to time; I’ll admit it) and discovered that I’ve been added to Random Creative’s list! What is Random Creative, you ask?
This is a no-frills list of exceptional creative websites I’ve encountered on the internet, that I otherwise may not have found if [...]
A small shout-out.
Monday, January 7th, 2008Though this is unrelated to design or papercraft, I fully expect it to be just as interesting (which is to say, very)… dear friend, aspiring writer, and romantic old soul Liz just started her own blog, c h i n k / l i t - a travelogue documenting her upcoming 2008 travels in Shanghai, [...]
I’m delinquent.
Thursday, December 13th, 2007I’ve been tagged three times (by Kristen at Crafty Peeps, Nastja + Nanouk at Bozontee, and Nicole at NicBlog), and am only just now getting around to continuing the chain - deliquency!
The rules:
Link to the person that tagged you and post the rules on your blog.
Share 7 random and/or weird things about yourself.

Paris Breakfasts.
Wednesday, December 5th, 2007Oh, if paintings can be happiness… these are it.
From new visitor Carol Gillott over at Paris Breakfasts, watercolors as sweet and airy as the confections they depict… She posts a new painting each day, chronicling her life in Paris - and I love that they’re teaset- and pastry-centric! (You can also see her [...]
Some exciting news…
Friday, November 9th, 2007Through a serendipitous turn of events (thanks Dave!), I had a quick chat with Darius over at COLOURlovers earlier this week and will soon be a contributing writer for the CL blog! As I’ve already said here, I love the site and it provides inspiration for me personally, so I am excited to get [...]
It’s like I’m famous!
Friday, October 5th, 2007Being relatively new to the blogging world, I’m still shocked and excited by certain experiences. Until recently, they mostly involved refreshing my Google Analytics dashboard to see how many more hits I’d gotten.
This one is new to me, though. Today I received an extremely nice comment about my post on the bedroom band [...]
Boston design guide!
Tuesday, September 25th, 2007I’ve always felt that Boston gets a little overlooked design-wise, so you can imagine my excitement when Grace Bonney at Design*Sponge posted a Boston design guide. Take a look for a gloriously long list of shops offering unique paper, textile, home, and other goods, handily arranged by neighborhood. She even throws in restaurant [...]
