So, my birthday is coming up, soon… I thought I would put some gift ideas out into the interwebs and see what happens…

I need a new fanny pack and this one is perfect for me!

The Holiday Shop-n-Stroll in Silver Spring was my first experience with an outdoor craft show and SNOW. We sold almost nothing and spent 9 hours in the cold. I had to buy rain boots at the event just to keep my feet from freezing. We learned how to put hand warmers in strange places. It wasn’t successful from a business perspective, but it was probably the most memorable show of 2009…

A perfect Christmas with family…seriously, I think this is the best Christmas I’ve ever had. :)

It’s official – I’m and ar-tiste! My opening at Corcoran was made all the more special by the attendance and support of my dear friends and family. Pictured above with dad who now likes to refer to me as a “hot shot artist” in DC. Yessssssssss!

The DC Tweed Ride – TWEEEEED RIDE! Words cannot possibly describe the elation I felt biking DC in costume with the most wonderful people I know.

Chris Chen is an amazing photographer and a wonderfully supportive friend. Gallery buddies!.. Here we are, slightly inebriated and the BYT beaujolais party at 1905…

Kim Burke’s birthday at Lindso’s. Halloween all over again with whiskey drinking and dancing in the kitchen. Just what I needed to lift my spirits that weekend…

Visiting Roger in Brooklyn for Halloween… Seeing Elizabeth eat chicken for the first time (since we’ve been friends), and then promising I wouldn’t tell. She is so lovely, isn’t she. Must be that poultry glow… :)

The now legendary 5 course paleo dinner at my new group house. The beginning of dinner party season…

Bored of Trade III. Amazing art, amazing musicians, amazing friends. Always magical and warm and wonderful…
