One of my tasks this week was packing the baby bag for the hospital. Want to take a peek at what's inside Baby K's STOKKE changing bag?

Last night we saw Warhorse at Lincoln Center. We first heard of this play (which is also a best-selling children's book and upcoming movie) from one of my dad's oldest friends, Tom, who is a composer, lyricist, and music producer here in New York. Over dinner one night a few months ago, Tom and his wife raved about the Warhorse production and once we heard the premise, we were captivated...

One of my personal challenges this year was to learn how to make something. ANYTHING. I'm totally jealous of the amazing things my crafty friends create (ahem, Lesley, Carey, Amanda.) Well, since I got to hang out with my mom recently, I asked her to teach me the basics of using a sewing machine. So she set up her Bernina, gave me a stellar 101 class, and left town for two weeks. Intimidating? Yes. But I followed a pattern, then made up a few of my own, rethreaded the Bernina just fine, and successfully fixed the machine after a two-hour tension ordeal. When I was frustrated with how writing was going, I played reruns of Project Runway and mindlessly stitched away. I found myself actually looking forward to my craft time. So, want to see my finished goods? (Set your expectations low, people.) Here you go!

At my sister's house last weekend, I noticed that a bottle cap was embedded into the bottom of the bathroom soap. A little cap prevents a bar of soap from sticking onto the counter top – brills!

The State of Brooches
Monday, March 8, 2010 
How sweet are these little wood brooches? Pin on your favorite U.S. state (or choose from select countries). Each one is handmade by the designer from vintage jigsaw puzzle pieces. These brooches would be such a fun, eclectic accessory on a reusable bag, grandpa sweater or thank you card (and a cute gift for the travel-lover in your life). I would adore a cheery Ohio pin to jazz up my work bag.
