january 11, 2010



good morning! thank you to everyone who followed along for my week of guest bloggers, wasn't it fun? i loved the thoughts of each contributor and am really inspired by seeing them all together. also, hi to new readers, i'm excited to meet you. i hope to include more of you out there on my next time around (there will be a next time, right?) once again, thank you to brian, nicolle, lea, molly, shari, alexandria, abby and jen. really, you are each so very inspiring.

after reading everyone else's thoughts on the new year, i've been thinking about what i'm looking forward to in the coming year, and a lot of it comes down to what is important to me. i want to spend  more time with my family, i am so lucky most of them live in seattle and i want to enjoy their presence in my life. in february i am taking a letterpress printing class and i hope the class will be just the start of a wonderful new art for me and another piece in my long term devotion to the art of the book. i hope i continue to be challenged creatively and in my job. i also hope to work on my home, keeping it clean and making it feel like a settled comforting place.

if you'd like, leave some of your own hopes for 2010, i'd love to read them!

  5. The letterpress class sounds great, and I'm sure you'll learn a ton. I can't wait to hear/see about it. Btw, I got wait listed for that photography class. Hopefully in the spring!

  11. I like the second and third photos in this post best - those pink table-tops are great, and the water in the third photo is mesmerising, you could just drop into it.
    This year I'm hoping for some delicious, unexpected moments - anything from a play of light transforming a mundane object to a pleasant suprise from an unexpected source.
    Good luck with your letterpress class, sounds fun!
