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 […]

Late in the evening
June 29, 2008, 10:12 pm
It’s been a busy weekend of finishing up a couple of albums and some invitation pieces. We made it outside for brief errands, but mostly tried to stay in the A/C, since it was about 90 degrees and somewhere close to 100% humidity for most of the weekend. There were a few amazing […]
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 […]
Hands that are never still

Needless to say, it has been one busy week around here! Tomorrow, we’re taking a much needed break and heading out of town, just for the day, to the Dia:Beacon.
In the meantime, the other set of invites, RSVPs, direction cards & envelopes I just finished up!
These are all done […]
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 […]

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.

Looking, Walking, Being
Denise Levertov
“The World is not something to look at, it is something to be in.”
- Mark Rudman
I look and look.
Looking’s a way of being: one becomes,
sometimes, a pair of eyes walking.
Walking wherever looking takes one.
The eyes

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 […]
Relationship to dreams
May 31, 2008, 9:06 am
Here we are: Saturday morning, coffee not 10 inches away, sun pouring in our front windows, and I am knee deep in wedding invitation schedules and designs, not to mention plate, paper and ink orders. By the end of this week I should have some very fun samples to share! No […]
