Happy Friday! What a week! I’m pretty wiped out from sewing like a madwoman and cajoling a six-year-old to model constantly, but I also feel very satisfied with my efforts. I did miss doing my usual other creative pursuits though, … Continue reading →

A brand new year! We went to a great New Year’s party last night with some new-to-me Latin American traditions (walking around the block with a suitcase for good travel vibes, eating lentils and grapes for prosperity, etc.) and though … Continue reading →

Animal Mask Doodles

Posted on October 25, 2012 by sanae

  A quiet day. A little doodling, a little sewing, a little volunteering (made endless amounts of die-cut letters at K’s school, which I found strangely satisfying). I have animal masks on the mind and am thinking of ways to … Continue reading →
