Big Day

As most of you know, I work at a museum in Miami–and am fortunate enough to be a senior staffer at my institution. So I get to be at the table for great conversations about the institution, where we are and where we are going. For nearly two years we have been working on changing…

How I’ve Been Dressing to Hide the Bump…

As promised, here are the new sketches. I have to say that my look from last Tuesday is probably my favorite. I got the jacket from my friend Heather in a clothes swap and paired it with oldie but goodies like my Target gray dress, some fun pearls, a sash and fun fun shoes. Casual…

12 Weeks and Couting

So…here you go! This is what has been distracting me from a lot of things recently. I’m expecting! It’s been an interesting and wonderful journey thus far…and I haven’t been sketching as much or writing as much because all I want to write about is this! My little peanut! We’ll know if peanut will be…

Awards!

I want to thank Summer in Newport for giving me the Honest Scrap Award. I haven’t been sketching a lot recently because I’ve been really distracted…so this is perfect! Here are the rules. Write 10 things about yourself and then pass it along… 1. I have about 4 projects that I have started and have…

Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Cash Register…

So there we were, my mom and I…innocently waiting in line at the Old Navy in Downtown Dadeland this afternoon, when the ever present credit card pusher started walking up and down the line asking people in Spanish if we wanted to take advantage of the 20% discount. We nicely told her we weren’t interested…but…

Sing, Sing a Song

I love music. I know that may sound cliche…but I really love music. I can sing a long to most songs on the radio, love going to concerts, and have an incredibly eclectic collection of music on my ipod. I was inspired by tonight’s Glee…because I was singing more than usual…I love Madonna. What girl…

Tax Man

Every April 15 since about 1994, I can’t seem to get the Beatles song, “Tax Man” out of my head. Today was no different. The best part of the day really was at the end of the day at an event at the museum, which was catered by Lime. OH…how I LOVE LIME! SO good….

Getting Back to Sketching

It has been busy. I’m not going to lie…with the Junior League wrapping up and the Junior Orange Bowl year just gearing up. My JLM co-chair is having her baby in about 2 weeks, so the last month is going to be totally in my hands. She and I have been prepping for it…and I…

Head Shot

In a couple of weeks my random MIA-ness will all make sense….I promise. In the mean time I thought that I would share my new head shots taken for the museum. I painted the look a few weeks ago—but thought it would be fun for you to see what the actual head shot ended up…

Easter Weekend

I hope everyone had a nice Easter weekend. Mine was quite memorable…starting with Saturday night. When I was about 15 I discovered the music of the Beatles and fell in love. I quickly bought all their albums, and with in weeks knew all the words. I even became a fan of the solo work of…
