My first time on the Etsy front page!

My Love Is necklace on the front page at Etsy

I had my very first appearance on the Etsy front page last week, compliments of Etsy seller noabrumberg who sells charming plush toys and cute graphics in her shop NOICA.

Another view of the Love Is necklace, a custom-cut red quartz ring on a delicate sterling [...]

Another sweet treasury, if I do say so myself

I made another treasury not too long ago — I will have to add the shop links in a bit. Kids will be home from school any minute! Anyway, isn’t it delicious, isn’t it delightful, isn’t it de-lovely?

It’s starting to look like a real house!

Rough sketch of the house we are building

On paper, anyway…

After much back-and-forth about floor plans and site orientation and building stages and and and… we are now entering a new phase in our island house project. Real sketches! Rough, but so exciting to see. Elevations to follow soon… it’s getting real!

What’s snoo? I don’t know, what’s snoo with you?

Maybe you can tell by the title of this one that I’ve spent entirely too much time lately with people who have yet to achieve puberty.  You know it’s bad when the sight of back-to-school sales makes you positively giddy. 

So what’s snoo with me? It’s been a busy summer, but all the busyness has been [...]

It’s a dog’s life

We had our first spring-like weather and first day of our family boating season this weekend. I always forget things in the off season. Like the proper way to tie lines, judging from my inelegant knots at the Friday Harbor dock. 

Troy, our yellow labrador retriever, goes with us and manages to be continually underfoot no [...]

It’s spring. And you know what that means.

 

Baseball Season!!!
