Sorry for these last few short posts. I’ve been scrambling to knock things off my list during short nap times… :)

Four of my illustrations were chosen for the 6th annual 3×3 Awards book. One received a bronze! I’m very honored to be in this book alongside very talented artists.

hello! Just a heads up for those not subscribed to the rss feed: I posted a new entry on the News page about new Starbucks work. :) There’s a fourth one coming out for Valentine’s day. It’s pretty in pink.

Finally I can show these! These were done for the Starbucks Frappuccino line. They are a series of poster-sized illustrations for print ads. (So, super big.) The idea behind them was that the drink provided a moment of enjoyment. So the pour from the drink is incorporated as part of the scene… I had fun [...]

This was Veda’s toy of choice for most of the afternoon. A tiny little stick that probably came from the handle of her toy basket. Not an inch long. About an eighth of an inch round. She has lots of music makers and books and blocks to choose from. But she chose this little stick.

The next step in my yoga training involves shadowing and assisting a working teacher. I’ll start by simply observing for a few classes until the students get comfortable with me there, and then begin helping the teacher more actively. I need to get about 15 classes under my belt to achieve this portion of the [...]

the middle of winter feels like a good time to nest. being inside so much makes me scrutinize this house and come up with new ideas and configurations. (i love interior decorating. it’s a hobby of mine. i’m not stellar at it by any means, but i do enjoy reading about it and trying little [...]

I am so excited to finally share this with you!
Shari and Sheri over at this joy+ride have just posted my contribution. Shari asked me to dream up something for the January issue, and I went to work on it. (This is that personal work that I mentioned way back when…)
I was originally thinking about submitting [...]

High Tide by Barbara Kingsolver
In my own worst seasons
I’ve come back
From the colorless world of despair
By forcing myself to look hard,
For a long time, At a single glorious thing
A flame of red geranium
Outside my bedroom window
And then another:
My daughter in a yellow dress
And another:
The perfect outline of a full
Dark sphere behind the crescent moon
Until I [...]

Just popping in to let you know that I am going to be teaching again at Squam this year. This is a special event because it is designed for parents (or grandparents) and the kiddos both! Family creative time. :) It’s called the Pixie Session, titled after the brave and beautiful miss Pixie Campbell. I [...]

So big big news! I am the featured profile in the Jan/Feb 2010 issue of Communication Arts!
Last August I was interviewed extensively by writer Tiffany Meyers, who is just fantastic and whip smart. We really hit it off. She came all the way out to Winona Lake, Indiana and spent the day with me, touring [...]

I have so many simple but profound things to be grateful for in my life. I often overlook them and take them for granted. Even the times that seem difficult are really not that bad when you consider the whole river they drift in. I am blessed. Is there anything better than good health? A [...]

In yoga we often set an intention at the beginning of each practice. A moment of silence to choose something to focus on and be mindful of as we begin to move and breathe. Then we watch as our intention surfaces and obstacles dissolve to make space for it.
So instead of “declaring this year as [...]
