Happy Equinox!

How have you been? I've spent the last week working hard and being humbled. Getting to see what I need to work on. Now it gets lighter everyday - metaphorically too, I hope. Let's all be the best possible versions of ourselves, shall we?

Around here....

Around here, I'm transforming these rolls into many many Earnest Totes and packing them up to ship to Japan. Big plans are in the works - new color, new bag. Waiting to hear about spring and summer shows. New jobs. New logins and passwords. Forms. Anticipation. There is a time of general uncertainty and awkwardness (and slight terror) looming over my house - and I'm not sure I can bring myself to embrace it. I could sit next to it, maybe.

Around here....

Around here, things are looking pretty spectacular. For real. Had you encountered me last Friday, you would have heard a rage-fueled rant about picking up after yourself. I apologize for the rage, but you should still pick up after yourself.

I have finally trained my children to sleep in on the weekends, which? Means that they will reliably stay quiet until about 6:30AM. Because the weekend is awesome and they don't want to miss any of it. Now the dog wakes us at five, every morning. Because daytime is awesome and she doesn't want to miss any of it.

Small, mighty things are blooming everywhere.

In what may have been a questionable parenting move, we did some mildly adventurous movie-going. Nobody else brought their children to see The Terminator at the Paramount.

Happy LEAP Day!

We got an extra day! I spent most of it in my studio - doing what I like to call "work" and wondering if you're allowed to call it "work" when you enjoy it so immensely. And I spent one whole minute standing in this spot, looking at sunlight and listening to birds singing.

Around here....

Last week was one of those running hard and not getting anywhere kind of weeks. Going backward, even. But now it's Monday and this week absolutely has the potential to not suck.

Shadow.

I was getting all geared up for an epic adventure this weekend - and then this happened. She's a bit of an epic adventure all on her own. She joined us four days ago and I've taken four hundred pictures of her. All blurry.

And since I'm home all weekend being a chew toy, I thought I'd make some bags and ship them out. Use the code SHADOW in the shop (through tonight) for 20% off, puppies!

Run hard, dream big.

It's going to be a strenuous week, but - why not? Clear skies, clear head - it's a good time for working hard and asking for what you want. And maybe? Getting what you want.
