Why I Love New York

This week, roses sprang up along the median on Park Avenue, through the snow. This installation is the work of artist Will Ryman, and goes along a 10-block stretch of the avenue. The blooms are made out of stainless steel and fiberglass and painted with boat paint. Check out the article here, this really cheered me up.

Love has its ups and downs

Here's a new Valentine's Day card for Great Arrow:

Know what I mean?

Happy New Year

A picture from the one of our first walks of the year... the Red Mill in Clinton NJ. What a beautiful spot and another part of the "hidden New Jersey" that I am fortunate to live in.

New Year, New Products

Happy New Year! I hit the ground running in 2011, and it promises to be a busy year!

The first two of my comfy accent pillows have come out, and the designs are Peace and Love, and Blue Crab with Lemons. Here they are with their matching accent rugs, all by Home Comfort. They are available at gift shops across the nation.

Fancy Flakes

Here's a design of mine that is available at Papyrus this holiday season. I love the way they embellished the flakes, which are die-cut, mounted with jewels and backed with vellum. Hopefully a little different take on the traditional snowflake!

My New Toy

Here is a giant crate that arrived by FedEx the other day...with the delivery guy cursing me because it weighed 124 pounds!

I've been looking forward to getting this box for a long time, and today I got to open it up:

It's a tabletop printing press! My mother-in-law has done her own typesetting and printing for years, under the name Gray Goose Press. She didn't want this press any more, and now it's mine! I can't wait to learn about it and start making beautiful letterpress images. This one's the perfect size for making cards. I can't wait.
