Happy Friday! I'm going strong with Me-Made-May, though I do combine handmade items with the few store-bought clothes I still own. Here's a round up of week 2-ish: Day 6: Renfrew Bamboo Top (worn with RTW yoga pants) Day 7: Black Simplicity 2365 Tunic + Black Gingers Day 8: Moss Green Linen Jacket (I wore the same outfit but with me-made jeans) + Indigo Gingers Day 9: Self-drafted knit dress (shown above - this was yet another prototype for the dress included in my book and the ...

Happy Friday! I've been a bit obsessed with this new series of illustrations I created for the Art Walk at Drygoods (I'm typing this before the actual event so I don't know if anyone will end up showing up, but just having the chance to participate was awesome.

If I could ask for the moon, I would also inquire after some peace and calm. My book is coming ... Read more

Happy Friday! We're into the third week without a car, and I have to admit that my legs are pretty sore. Still, I'm loving all the exercise we're getting and although everything takes longer and requires more planning without a car, it also forces us to slow down and live moment by moment. I'm stopping to smell the roses and flowers, if you will. That's a quick watercolor sketch I made a while back. I really really like it. You might be able to see a small water splotch on one of the leaves, ... Read more
