It’s been a busy week around here, and the weekend has been non-stop! My baby brother has been in town visiting and we’ve walked all over, seen lots, and had a great time. And, just in case you haven’t been outside in New York recently…it is 100%, without-a-doubt, officially summer! I’m pretty […]

I think this week’s to-do list actually has about 87 very specific things on it already and, while I managed to check off 5 or 6 things tonight, we’ve got a ways to go, so I’ll make this short & sweet!
New journal and album covers - lots of dental journals and […]
Canopies of clearness

Despite the seemingly constant drizzle, we’ve managed to have a pretty wonderful time of things over this long weekend…a little grilling (which I think made Matt ready to move to the suburbs, just for a yard), some very healthy rooftop plants that are a sure sign it’s nearly mid-July, and fireworks all around!

Variations on a theme
June 28, 2008, 6:45 pm
Just in case everyone wasn’t already aware, I do actually spend close to every waking second thinking about paper and books. Some would say this is a little extreme, and it probably is, but I tend to enjoy it. At 7:00 p.m. today, after a full day of printing, binding, designing, and invitation […]
Racing around…

Just quickly as I’m running out the door…
Custom Coptic stitched wedding album in marine blue silk
And our little rooftop garden is just chugging away…much like us!
To carry within us an orchard

We ended up with a welcome day to ourselves on Friday, since we had both taken the day off, thinking we’d head to Iowa for a wedding. Between the incredible flooding and damage being dealt with in Cedar Rapids and the ungodly expensive plane tickets, we nixed those plans. Instead, we headed up […]
So purely and lushly new

You did say you wanted to see lots of pictures, right?
The truly gorgeous cherry tree that climbs higher than our building and is - despite the best efforts of the old abandoned, dilapidated building behind ours - thriving and producing some pretty beautiful fruit, not to mention some stunning summer colors.
And […]

Coptic stitch album with striped Japanese Yuzen paper
It’s been a wonderfully busy week so far, and Thursdays always seem good for stepping back for just a second and feeling a sense of progress and satisfaction. Also, a little insight from Matt about how we feel some of the time these days.

All that exceeds us
June 8, 2008, 9:46 pm
My feet hurt, my hands hurt, but my head is very, very happy. Before this productive little weekend even started, one major change happened in our little lives that - while terrifying - is wildly exciting. For a while now, my time has been pushed to the edges, as far as my books […]
The angels envy us
June 1, 2008, 10:06 pm
These weekends come and go and, just when I think I’ve reined in my expectations and remember that, in reality, the weekend is only 2 full days to ourselves (not 6, as my mental project calendar likes to assume), Sunday night sneaks up on me again!
I’ve been busy folding down pages for some custom albums […]
