    The summer started off with me buying copious amounts of paper, board and glue while also trying to line up interns and helpers.

If every summer could be this way, I couldn’t ask for anything more. To review, this summer I made an order of 2,500 handmade … Continue reading

    Today was a beautiful day for floating and staring at clouds, for taking it easy. It’s especially sweet to me because I have just finished a three month project that was completed last week. For me it’s been a summer full of scheduling, sewing, cutting, gluing, sewing, interns, long days, deadlines and more sewing. I love intense periods of work followed by intense periods of play, but this was a … Continue reading

    I have this line of polaroids taped to the wall in the hallway leading into my bedroom with a pencil line that runs beneath them.
