So it was a Making Wednesday not a Making Friday, but I’m finding it difficult to remember the day of the week anyway, so who cares if I broke the rules. I had the Best Making Day Ever, because I spent the entire day not only creatively focussed for the first time in three weeks …

Mia, are you culpa?
I bought these Mia shoes at Urban Outfitters, adding to my growing collection of wooden shoes, and proceeded to wear them for a long trek through Williamsburg and Brooklyn yesterday.

Style trumps adversity
My friend Margaret had a stylish response to the nasty business of having her car’s back window smashed: Plastic and parcel tape doesn’t make a very pretty repair job, but slapping a Pincushion decal on top makes all the difference. Go Margaret! (and go Lilly, who barked loudly enough to make the bad guys run …

Cutting spaces
Happy 2010, everyone! I’m still on holiday really, but am slowly starting to rev my motor for the new year by making my first blog post of the decade. Once all the relatives left town and we weren’t making treks across the peninsula laden with bowls of salad and bags of presents, Paul and I …
