two tees

shipped yesterday...  a couple of my favorites and great colors, too.  the reversible rusty tee was one-of-a-kind, but there are two mixed stripe kitty tees left in the shop.

carrot salad

i made this carrot salad for a potluck the other night and it was so good.  a new favorite.  based on a  moosewood recipe with a few additions.

 

my recipe:

 

3 cups peeled & grated carrots (i used my juli peeler)

2 celery stalks chopped

some finely sliced red cabbage 

a handful of dried cranberries

 

dressing:

3 tablespoons olive oil

glug of red wine vinegar

1 garlic clove pressed

2 teaspoons minced fresh cilantro

1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

pinch of cayenne

 

whisk dressing ingredients together and pour over carrots and things.  stir.  yum.

 

smiling faces

little friends hanging around keep things cheery even on grey days.

distracted

a quick sketch of some chipmunks i saw in the park.

pencil + paper

new products in the shop today:  the official museum pencil and the short conversation notepad (with my funny drawing).

the shiny gold imprint on these pencils makes me happy.  and the quality of the notepads is so good it's almost like a little stack of 50 fine art prints.

 

faces in progress

a couple studio photos...  the first one was included in this nice post.  (thanks, brittni!).

happy valentine's day!

sky time

the other night the sun was setting as i was sewing. i looked up from my seat at the serger and saw such pretty colors in the sky...

happy abraHAM day

a collaborative sampler.  the print of hammy was a test for the t-shirts.  and david decided to try his hand at some cross stitch.

again, the spectacle collector

new mens tees in the shop!  each pair of glasses is a different color.
