Yesterday. Full sun, glittering sky. It started off with truly solid creative intentions. I got my coffee and was about to head back to my studio (the living room floor) when the car changed directio...
With my mind fried from the move and the graphics card on my computer fried from overuse (or doodle abuse?), I checked out of life for a decent chunk of past week and did some low-tech, old fashioned...
I eschewed the random number generator this time, and fetched my five and nine year old accountants instead. Older girl wrote the names, and then younger girl did the draw, the old-fashioned way. Of ...
Just poking my head out of a box (we moved into our new house!) to host a last minute gifting of a spot in 21 Secrets, which starts April 1! Im so excited to get disoriented with everyone in my works...
My blisscoveries this week: That those hardcover books with cheesy (or no) book jackets can be made lively again. I spirited these titles away from the book trading shelf in our communal laundry room...
I lost my footing and missed out on the bliss list last week, but today let me share one of my frequent delights in my new town: visiting The Broad House. Unlike Lawrence, Kansas, where anything goes...
The INSPIRING banner is done! It took the better part of three months, but Im very happy with how it turned out. I designed the original in another color scheme for a specific project (it was more pa...
Well, it seems that im living from little bliss list to little bliss list these days! Thats probably a good thing, because it keeps me from making little bitch lists instead. There was indeed plenty ...
We were on vacation this week. Bliss! No school, no homework hell, no shuttling about and around, unless it was my choice to do so. Stayed in my pajamas until nearly 11 every day. Doodled. Doodled mo...
1) When I feel like Im not measuring up to the world around me, this little guy offers joy and reassurance. He tells me to wear my color with pride. That my path can take the long, winding road. That...
I have something up my (coffee) sleeve today: more itty bitty books! The last time I made these, i didnt explain how I did it. How rude! This time I will. Drank lots of coffee. Saved sleeves. Begged ...
A mama/daughter collab in progress: happy heart valentines! Im cutting, shes drawing, were both stitching, and crossing our fingers theyll all be done for tomorrow. So far weve completed 11, with 14 ...
1. Bliss starts this week with my happy little patterned bowls. Not one was broken this week. (I cant say the same for last week.) 2. My coffee. Any form. Always. It is such a staple in this househol...
"make a little bliss list," she said. huh? whats that? ive been so preoccupied with trying to whittle down my rapidly growing non-bliss list that i had paid virtually no attention to the go...
When I started this blog nearly 4 years ago it was out of a dire need to dump out years of what had been going on in my head. From that came an intense fascination with the creative process -- thinki...
I did it! I did it! I made a magic carpet. Ive wanted to make one of these for an eternity, at least a year. What gave me the final nudge Im not sure, other than I tend to turn to crochet when I need...
We get, we give, we get, we give. Both good and bad. Cause and effect. Karma. Whatever you want to call it. We found a sweet rose pen fashioned out of duct tape in the Whole Foods parking lot. Someon...

yesterday the skies were sparkling, and stacks of work on my desk were growling at me, so i did what any self-respecting escape artist would do: i dropped it all and hid for an afternoon in the sweet...
I have never paid the moon the respect it deserves, but my daughter does. It fits her: dreamy, nocturnal, many shades and faces, has her own calendar. She has sought it in the sky ever since she coul...

It turns out that my printer was also not a tireless machine. A few days of overzealous printing experiments sent it (and me) into a panic. When I was finishing up one of my last orders of 2011, it s...
Happy 2012! I have a special doodle deal in the shop today -- get 2 "This is the Year" prints for the price of 1. Keep one and give one. Or give both. Or keep both. Valid today only, Januar...
I enjoy watching the frenzy of the season build, build, build over the month of December to a fever pitch on Christmas, then melt into a languid glide for a few days before the madness of New Yearnes...
I always wait until the penultimate moment to whip up teacher gifts. Normally it is because Im a procrastinator. This year it is because I havent yet sorted out when and where to breathe, let alone b...
These words have been floating in my creative cauldron for a while and they finally found their home on paper. Just a little doodle about the importance of carrying yourself around life with color an...
Montclair, New Jersey! Its a wonderful, diverse, colorful, cultural little burby burg about 15 miles west of New York City. Our hearts were wholly intent on anchoring here, and we searched at length ...
