Lattes and empanadas

This is it. This weekend we think Max has to decide on which college he will be accepting. Very nervewracking. I do not think he knows what to do. I think he will be very happy at either Tufts or BU but I think he still is holding out for that NYU waitlist. He is,…

Butterflies and Bullshit

There has not really been much designing going on these past few days. I did make a cat lady scarf.LOL.My anxiety has got the better of me again. I have been struggling all week. It is not made any better by the fact that I am exhausted and have breathing issues. Yesterday was total BS….

New Projects

I have been taking photographs of all the new flowers blooming for Spring. I find the photos subjects in the strangest places. I have found California poppies growing on the dirt walkway at school.

A mother’s love

I am preparing to be parted from my boy for the first time in a long time. This will be the furthest he has been away from us. A different continent. We will be halving the distance because we are going to a US city that is five hours closer to his destination. It is…
