This year Pete and I will be this: And this: I wish we were going here:But sadly we are not. And yes, my super sneaky wife skillz have convinced Pete to do a couples costume-something he has strictly forboden in the past- and I am not sure he even realizes it. Major points for me. [...]
Speaking of food…On Monday night Pete and I attended the official opening of Truffleberry Market, the catering company that hired me to design their new office & tasting room a few months back. I am not going to post the full before and afters, but you should refresh yourself because even I couldn’t believe how [...]

Artist Francois-Xavier Lalanne to the rescue. He made all these little guys, and I love them.Aren’t they just adorable?Am I [...]
First of all, I am guest posting today on “My Stuff” at Helena of A Diary of Lovely’s blog. Helena is a blog rockstar. I don’t know how she has the patience/kindness to leave the most thoughtful, smile inducing comments, create inspiring posts and still go about her daily life in London, but I am [...]
Pete has generously donated what was originally supposed to be his “man room” to Quin B Studios to serve as temporary headquarters until I can find more permanent accommodations.
