A funny photo I forgot to post from awhile back…

Published on September 3, 2008

Tweet …when our toddling critters were tiny babies. This is Kit, hanging in the atelier, watching her little Stella Frances play with my critter. What’s funny, you ask? Look at Louis xiv’s face and the object in front of Kit, of which she is completely unaware. Oh by the way – Kit works on the […]


But I’m still not going camping…

Tweet My Husband is in denial. He thinks he’s going to get me to go camping. And he’s not interested in any of my reasons, either. And now that this is available, I have one less excuse…


Abundance of riches – torpor of spirit

Published on August 3, 2008

Tweet Right now I have a couple of hours to do anything I want to do. I have before me: • Beverly Hills Community Services Bulletin – and pore over pages six and seven – I can stress about whether the Critter is properly stimulated prior to entering preschool. • Read I, Rhoda Manning, Go […]

Bocce and Benjamins in Beverly Hills…

Tweet I know we all are incredibly spoiled by the weather, yet the last few years there have been some unusually high temperatures for a spate of time here and there. My dear Husband goes around like a big bear with a thorn in his paw during these seasons, as we forget too soon once […]


I couldn’t commit…

Tweet …to a font, other than my beloved copperplate gothic and my Engravers MT. It has always pleased me that my my business card could be from a venerable law firm, were it not for the one word design. The two fonts used together are timeless, classic, and promote those ideals in my designs. Helvetica […]


Back when I was single…

Published on April 19, 2008

Tweet …before I met my perfect Husband, I did my share of dating via the internet. I realize that the internet exists for things to move faster and that brevity rules. I really could not get with the online acronyms, but who was I to judge millions who were ROFLing all over the place? I […]


Artist / Mom?

Published on April 18, 2008

Tweet When I was expecting the Critter, I was haunted by the voice of Louise Nevelson in a documentary I saw in design school. I can’t quote her, but she was talking about having children when you’re “on this search” for art and that it’s unkind to put children in in the position of coping […]
