Tunnelvision by Here We Go Magic. I can't embed the video for some reason so you'll just have to go here to watch. Or better yet just listen here.

home sweet home

A lot has happened in these 7 or so months I've been gone from this here blog. I moved out of the old apartment, which I had occupied for 7 years (!) and moved into my very own sweet place. Jack is a little lonely and misses his old cat pal Hank, but mostly we're pretty happy to be on our own.


Here are some lovely shots of my new apartment taken by Danica. One of my favorite things to do in the new place? Have my sweet friends over for meals and crafting. I need to do more of it.


To see more of Danica's beautiful shots head over to her flickr stream.

i'm here!

i'm thinking about making a come back here. it's been a while since i last posted and i shut down the blog (well on and off) because this space just has so much history for me and i kind of don't want people to have access to all of it. but, after thinking long and hard about starting a new blog i kind of came to the conclusion that it made sense to just start up on here again. why not? it's comfy in here, i've spent a lot of time building this place, it doesn't feel right to abandon it for good. and all that stuff i don't want people to read- well i'm just gonna let go and think of those stories as tattoos i don't regret getting, inspired by this great article written by Joshua Mohr.

that photo up there is one of the many i've taken in the last few months. i've gotten a little carried away with my holga and diana, so expect to see a lot more photos on here.

...where i'm at...

I'll be posting here for a while: http://citiesandseas.blogspot.com/. Come visit!

grass books

loving this book art from Corol Silverman.

via my love for you.

This will make you want to make books..

One of the books I am most excited we are publishing this Fall is called Pictrial Websters, it's a beautiful book packed with the illustrations from the original 19th century Webster's Dictionary. The author, John Carrera first self-published and printed this amazing book, here is his video of that process- it's so worth watching!

focus

i've been away from here partly because i've just been so busy but mostly because i don't know what i want to do with this space anymore. i need focus. i always love blogs who know exactly what they are and i've been struggling with exactly what i want this blog to be. maybe i'm overthinking it.. anyway that focus is what drew me to this wonderful little blog called We Make Words. first of all i love words, and i love how the name of the blog tells you exactly what you will find there.

oh Grizzly Bear how i love you..

lazy sunday

next?

i've been busy. so busy i'm afraid to open my google reader because it will likely take me days to get through... and i don't need to mention i haven't been spending much time on my own blog. i'm in flux... ready to leave this lovely little blog behind and start something new. i'm still thinking about it all and figuring out what's next. i'll be around here a little more until i figure it all out and will let you all know what's next when i know! i feel it coming.....
