cake topper

I was back east a few weeks ago for the wedding of one of my best friends from my art school days. It’s becoming a tradition for me to make the cake topper when my friends get married – I was particularly pleased with this one: The blue garland behind them references the paper garlands [...]

me too

I was browsing my friend Mike’s (hi sweetie pie!) portfolio website last night and came across this brilliant piece: Check out the rest of his stuff right here.

Happy Birthday Baby

This is late, but last Sunday was the birthday of my godson Phoenix (OK, there was never actually a baptism, so I’m not officially his godmother, but since if there had been a baptism I would have been the godmother I decided to claim the title anyways.) This little boy is the love of my [...]

60

This weekend I went up to Sacramento to celebrate my grandparent’s 60th wedding anniversary. Being married for 60 years is pretty amazing, especially in today’s world. They’re an inspiration to all of us. A shot of the angel food cake that T. (who had to work and couldn’t come) and I made the night before [...]

Tracy Thomason

my college roommate Tracy recently graduated from Cranbrook with her MFA and just sent out some images of her work. She doesn’t have a website yet (get on that Trace) so I can’t link to her but this one is my favorite: I hear from friends who went and saw her thesis show that her [...]

new baby

on Wednesday and Thursday I had what really was the most amazing experience of my life so far, being present at the birth of this little boy: His mom, who has been my best friend since we were six years old, was amazing through the 37 hours of labor it took to get this little [...]

anniversary

Today was my and T.’s four year anniversary. It is truly unbelievable to me that it has been that long since our first date. These pictures were taken after we’d been dating for about eight months – my friend Ben took them on his Holga during an ice skating escapade in Baltimore. I look so [...]

Rose and Radish & Wexford Girl

Yesterday after work Annie of Wexford Girl and I met up to check out Rose and Radish’s new store theme last night – tea time. It was super adorable, and I picked up a few little things for a high tea baby shower I’m throwing next month. Unfortunately they don’t allow photos in the store, [...]

I’m back!

I’m back from vacation, and have a lot to share. But here to sum up my memorial day experience are two photos, with more to come later: (top, my best friend Lyssa, who is pregnant with my godson, and bottom, T. and Sugar, who is my best friend Jana’s dog.) Aren’t you intrigued?

Laura Cooperman

I’ve been waiting since Monday to write about this, because I wanted some time with my new art piece by myself. Now however, I’m ready to share. Monday was a great day, because when I got home at the end of the most tiring day in recent memory, a package containing my Laura Cooperman piece [...]
