This Sunday, after a long and challenging battle with feline diabetes, we made the difficult decision to put my little cat, Shodan, to sleep. Shodan was brought to us as a stray at 3 weeks old, by a dear friend. She grew to be the gentlest soul I have ever known. We brought home a ferret,…

Our professional photos will take a little while to arrive, but I wanted to share some of the candid moments from our wedding day, and from the photo shoot that we did the following morning in the park. The day already feels like a blur!

In exactly one month, Tito and I are getting married! My partner in crime, my adventure buddy, my muse, my travel companion, and the willing participant in all my crazy schemes… Tito is perfect for me.

This holiday season was a good one for me, even if it didn’t all go according to plan. I had hoped to swim every day as part of a knee rehab I’m desperately trying to achieve, to shoot new tutorials for the blog and to test knit my first triangular shawl. Instead, my knees actually…

The Blue Brick has been overdue for an overhaul, and what better time to do it than on the day that I launch the book? It’s got a new logo, a new look and a new focus; trying to bring some of the things I am the most passionate about to the forefront of the design.…

I tried to be all sneaky and pre-program blog posts to run while I was away, specifically to avoid the inevitable blog-death that accompanies a dearth of posts… except that I optimistically thought I’d be blogging again the second I got home… and that was wrong. Last week, Tito and I traveled for what, honestly,…
