Thanksgiving

Can we talk about how good my Thanksgiving was? I actually had two successful Thanksgiving meals, one with friends in Brooklyn, and one with my family. My immediate family hopped in a minivan, and I hopped on a bus, and we all met in Virginia where a small percentage of my extended family lives. I only got to see them for less than 24 hours before I had to get on the bus again, but it was well worth it. Here we are having a happy and beautiful and fully functional family day:



My family recently had an addition in October. This is my niece, Olive.
Pumpkin bars, pumpkin pie, homemade caramel, key lime and white chocolate cheesecake, blueberry tart, chocolate Oreo mousse, banana cream pie, and coconut cream pie. This is only the desserts, so you can imagine what the main menu was like.



My cousin Sophie and the blanket I crocheted her when she was born. I'm glad to see it so well-used.


I don't see them nearly enough.

Right, so by popular demand (3 votes?) I'm doing this thing again. Recap on the years of useless info I deleted some time ago:


Rural Iowa teenager shenanigans. Lots and lots of those. Moved to New York City after highschool. Fashion Institute of Technology. Armani. Chelsea. Moved to Bed-Stuy. Bad Times. Forced out of Bed-Stuy. Moved to Sunnyside. Better times. Crazy landlord shenanigans. Moved to Greenpoint. Great times. Converse design room. Too many strange jobs to list. Lots of indecisive and resltess talk about my future. Have a cat photo or two:









Really that's about it.
