Lest you think I only care about my own city, I bring you two amazing events in nearby Philadelphia.

This weekend is The Art Star Craft Bazaar, a craft fair featuring over 100 vendors and live demonstrations of various craft techniques. Isn’t this poster by Jen Corace beautiful? For more info, check out the Art Star [...]

I am so excited to announce the launch of Patty Sechi’s (aka mom) graphic design and consulting business.

With over twenty years of design under her belt and a fantastically cool aesthetic (don’t you love that goose?) Patty is a great choice for any design needs.
Give her a call, won’t you?

I don’t know what it is about people playing with their food, but I find it endlessly inspiring. That’s why I knew I had to have this book the minute I saw it.

Everyday Dada is a little book of photos by artist Sian Bonnell. Bonnell uses food to reinvent everyday household items-in her world, deli [...]

Lately I have been so busy working on crafty things for other people that I haven’t made anything for myself. I can’t stand when I have no time to craft for fun.

I finally carved out a few hours of my time to make this pillow for our living room. I have been experimenting with silhouettes [...]

I’m about to reveal a truly nerdy side: I love broadway musicals! I’ve seen four this year alone.

Well, lucky me, Mr. Loveforever got tickets to see Grey Gardens, a musical I have been dying to see for months! The movie, a documentary by the Maysles brothers, has made a huge impact on designers and [...]

Another batch of CDs for the mix tape swap! This month’s theme was “clichés” so I chose the cliché of being a rock star; you know fame, fortune, sex, drugs, rock and roll, that whole deal. The covers are magazine collages sewn together on my sewing machine. As always there is one extra one for [...]

i never do things like this (and maybe that’s why it was so fun) but on Friday I decided that I deserved a little trip to Global Table, one of my favorite stores in New York. I often go a really long time without a paycheck so when I get one it’s cause for [...]

Andy Goldsworthy has been a successful artist for many years now and his work with found objects in nature is just breathtaking. There is something really magical about this art; it’s as if you’ve stumbled upon the handiwork of a little band of woodland fairies. Art like this makes me feel happy just to be [...]

How cute are these postcards by Portuguese artist Ana Ventura? The combinations of colors and patterns are so perfect.

A shot of an Anthropologie window here in Rockefeller Center in New York. I can only imagine how much fun it was to make all of these little balloon guys. Or maybe not.
