Felt

These flowers adorn my Christmas stocking which I made last December. I'll have to make more for a pillow or something of the like, they're fun to sew.

Paris, Je T'aime

Short stories about love from each of the 20 arrondissements... I especially enjoyed the short at Oscar Wilde's grave. Click here for the website.

It's Armani

I read this Look Book profile of Bobby Vita a few years ago and it's been cracking me up ever since. Bobby... always quotable and good for a laugh. I love browsing through the street fashion of the other profiles too. There's even a book.

My Pup

This is Iso, our little Yorkie. She's my first dog, and like most pet owners, I'm crazy about her. My photographer husband Karl named her after film speed. On the right is an oil portrait that I painted for Karl's birthday last May.

Funny Face

I just bought this poster from the movie Funny Face and framed it in glossy white.

Like so many, I'm a big Audrey Hepburn fan. There are so many great books on her style and grace, but my favorite is Audrey Hepburn, an Elegant Spirit, written by her son Sean. The book includes a moving speech she gave to the UN as a Unicef Goodwill Ambassador. Proceeds from the book go to the Audrey Hepburn Children's Fund.

Well hello.

After a couple years of clicking through gorgeous art and design blogs, I've decided that today is the day to put myself out there. I'd like my blog to be a place to share my creative thoughts and ideas, as well as help my absent-minded self keep track of things. (When I look back on my life so far, I seem to remember more from the journal keeping phases.) I'll be posting little sketches and drawings, photos, and paintings of my own creation. Ill also be posting images from here and there that I find inspiring, happy, and beautiful to stare at. And I hope that through this blog, I can figure myself out just a little. Bit by bit.
