a little bird just flew past my ear and whispered “today is the second of September, you know!” and i told him to check his birdy calendar, because that’s just crazy, there is no way it could possibly be September already! it is only somewhere around early-to-middle of August, i am quite certain. although i [...]
i really really admire bloggers who manage to post photos and write about events the same day they happen. unfortunately i am just not one of them.
a couple weeks ago, my mom, sis and nieces came to visit, and we had a fun time right here in Accord. actually, all of these photos were taken [...]
this is where i had lunch on tuesday. it was pretty awesome. of course, once i got the burrito in hand, i forgot all about picture-taking, or else i would show you how pretty (and huge!) it was. the surrounding farmland view was also lovely. if you are ever in red hook, NY, i highly [...]
summer is a perfect season to embroider; you can use some artistic stitchery to embellish or mend just about anything. this saturday (june 26) i will be teaching a 4-hour embroidery and applique workshop at my favorite local shop: wing & clover in rhinebeck. if you are a creative soul, you must visit this lovely [...]

this is was my valentine’s treat today, and MAN it was delicious! there was raspberry-ness mixed into the dark chocolate batter, and the whole thing was decadently moist, intensely chocolatey, and not too sweet. it was gotten at my favorite local bakery, which is not as near as i’d like, and that’s probably for the [...]
well i’m about to become a very busy bee this month (or at least a busier bee than i’ve been so far this year). i’ve got a few new teaching venue relationships brewing, in and around my new upstate locale, which makes me happy because it means i am slowly beginning to wean myself off [...]
