I know. I know. It’s been ages since I’ve written anything here. It’s been a little bit of an adjustment balancing grad school, work, and my personal life, so I apologize for the break in writing. However, one of the upsides of going back to school is being exposed to new ideas (and book recommendations). […]
I took this photo at the Boston MFA. It’s a photo of an installation by Dale Chihuly; it’s probably the 4th or 5th exhibition of his work that I’ve seen. What moves me about his work is the grandeur he manages to evoke with colored glass. His work inspires me every time I see it. […]

Last week, I was wearing a dress with brass buttons on the epaulets and raglan seams. Unfortunately for me, they were very poorly sewn on (I could see a little knot at the end of the thread sticking out of the outside of the dress!) and they kept popping off throughout the day. Lucky for […]
