Whatever happened to doilies?

They used to be all the rage in old lady decor.

Now they just make visits in February.

My Heart Letterpress Greetings

Hello, doilies, it’s nice to see you again.

A few of my photos are being shown in the Mom 2.0: Defining a Movement exhibit. In March, there will be an online silent auction to benefit Haiti — I’ll let you know more about that when it’s live. For now, you can see some photos Tracey Clark took of the show here.

Because I’m a self-taught photographer, I’m feeling honored to be included. The idea of showing my photography feels so grand that I would never have even thought to put it on my life list. Sometimes life has nicer plans for you than you have for yourself.

And if that isn’t enough saccharine for you today, here’s a kitten being surprised over and over.

I just got back from some new and improved oral surgery, so I’m feeling a little sad and hurty. Woe is me, Internet.

So! Let’s talk about something happy instead of talking about mouth wounds, agreed? Agreed!

Yesterday Libby and I painted the Mighty Mighty headquarters.

You remember Libby, right? I thought so.

Libby is helping me paint because she’s working with me now. Hooray! I wanted to plan some events, and Libby was a professional event-doer before she started doing shows at the gallery. Also, we like each other, which is a bonus because the studio is so small that our elbows touch while we’re typing. It’s terribly romantic.

Please join me in welcoming Libby and encouraging her to stick around for a while.

I’m excited to tell you more about the fun stuff we’re planning as soon as we plan it, but for now please enjoy our Smurfy new digs.

Let’s meet back here tomorrow. I’ll be the one with puffy cheeks.
