Near my studio...

Mashamoquet

Jon and Scott and I went for a hike nearby the day after Early Thanksgiving. It was such a beautiful day and made me think of Wachusett Dam hikes when I was a kid.

If you were really quiet you could hear all of these wonderful sounds...

antiques

Simcha and I saw an amazing wood inlaid bench at an antique store. We opened it up to find this note.

Open Studios

Celine and I both have open studios this week!
Celine's is in Boston at the North Bennet Street School, on Friday and Saturday.
Mine is Thursday at 7:30pm at UConn's Depot Campus (where my studio is). We'll have food, entertainment, and art!

Birthdays

This time of year is crazy in my family. Dad starts it with his birthday at the end of October. Then Celine, Vince, and Paloma all have the same birthday. Simcha is just 4 days later. Here are two of the birthday girls. Vince is in Mexico City, we missed him!

Paloma

Paloma is 6. This is her "Supergirl" cake. Celine and I had a little too much fun making it. It's actually a "Disaster Cake" in our minds.

The silly one and I.


Simcha, bored and almost 16.
