chalk it up.
i am a huge lover of the chalkboard (i think it was one of man’s finest inventions). i designed these nesting ramekins with a chalkboard glaze so that you can easily label your goodies at your next party. you can get a set here (it will even come with a piece of chalk).

100 acts of sewing . . .
well . . . maybe more like 20. yesterday my sister and i took this amazing dress making class from the lovely SONYA PHILIP (she is the girl who made 100 dresses last year) . . . SO. INSPIRING. i’ve always loved the idea of wearing a uniform. it would make my life so much easier. my favorite dress that i own is a simple a-line dress from THEORY that i’ve worn (and still wear) for almost 10 years. i had always intended to find a seamstress to make me 10 more of said dress, but you know how THAT goes . . . never happened. coincidentally, the dress that i made yesterday (in 3 hours) is almost IDENTICAL to it. meet my new uniform.

friday field trip (from the sketchbook).
2008
emeryville, ca
when we moved into the townhouse, there was a big empty wall space that i didn’t have artwork for. i quickly drew this on a large piece of tar paper just to tide me over until i found a proper piece. 5 years later, this “temporary artwork” is still hanging up ! my intention this year is to paint a real painting for this spot. so stay tuned . . .

the arch.
the arch is an exquisite site in mexico. it is at the very tip of baja where the sea of cortez meets the pacific ocean. we tried paddle boarding to it one day, but it was EXTREMELY windy and half way there i was practically blown INTO a cruise ship. we decided to sail to it instead. it was spectacular.
