Winter break lasts just one more week for me. This week is squeezed full of all kinds of things. I have to stretch some canvases this week to be ready for the semester’s paintings. Tuesday I see my old friend Kara. Wednesday I get our brakes fixed (finally) and attend a beekeepers meeting. Thursday I…

I took a fun and rainy walk with Ger and Rodeo this afternoon in the bay marshes of Belmont. I really should do more walks in the rain, view it is really nice. Peaceful and quiet. We ended the walk with hot tea then drove to San Mateo for a Vietnamese vermicelli bowl. We were…

I spent the day in the SF Public Library sifting through all the books on wedding ceremonies and rituals. The materials available out there are sadly lacking in depth and content. I brought home eight books with hopes that we can gleam what we need from them. When did the wedding world become so schlocky…

Bag prototype almost done Originally uploaded by Alanna Spence I get to keep this one. Yay!

We had a lovely time in Portland Oregon visiting Jon and Summer. It rained the whole time (except for snow on Christmas!) and it was beautiful. Wish we could see Jon and Summer more often than we do. They are great. While those losers were working, Tom and I just palled around town looking at…
