A big, big thank you to everyone who joined in on the Beach Tank KAL! It was so inspiring to see all the projects roll in on the #beachtankKAL hashtag on Instagram – the variety of yarns, colors and modifications were incredible. During the past month, I knit two beach tanks for myself – the […]
Have you joined the Beach Tank knitalong yet? I’m so thrilled by the enormous response on Instagram, and have already seen a few new tanks on the needles. But if you’ve grabbed the pattern and stopped there – trying to choose which yarns to use – this post is for you. But before we talk about […]
Hey friends! It’s been a minute. I’ve taken a hiatus from my blog for awhile, mostly because life, being life, gets busy and this blog – one of my main creative outlets for over five years – started to feel more like a responsibility and less like an inspiration. But I never wanted to turn off the switch for […]
At this stage of winter, when most people are lamenting enough is enough and over it, I’m doing my best to dig in with renewed fortitude. I enjoy the bundling, the sloshing, the breathing in of the icy morning that wakes you up. I enjoy being in the chilly kitchen with simmering stocks and roasting vegetables in the oven. […]

I’ve also shared a couple recipes over at Food52 that I haven’t posted here, including this recipe for feta preserved in olive oil. Oil is a remarkable preservative and has long been […]
This is short little update for today with a recipe for something I don’t make too often – bread! But not just any bread – fried flatbreads stuffed with a savory smattering of herbs, onion and cheese. They are a wonderful accompaniment to a larger meal, like curries or soups, but I’ve also eaten them with a […]

The inability (or unwillingness) to be in the present moment; the always looking back or looking forward; the discomfort or anxiety we feel when we’re not doing, […]
When we were in Santa Fe last October, O and I spent our last morning at the farmers market down by the rail yard. With our body clocks still set to two hours ahead on East Coast time and our bellies empty and growling, we were among the first people to arrive. I love visiting markets whenever I travel, because […]
It’s 7 in the morning on a Sunday as I write this. The radiators are steaming like a kettle and I can hear crows ca-cawing, cawing, cawing outside. The crows always remind me of the cold months in Massachusetts, where I grew up and where they would circle the sky and hop through the brown […]

In the past few years, she left her day job to pursue textile design full-time and has produced three unique design collections, all while being a full-time mom to two young kids. Her eye for color is lush, juicy. Drawing inspiration from her travels and intuition, her textiles are fluid and […]
