If you have a Mac and use Mail, you might find it frustrating that it doesn’t allow any html signatures. Pretty lame if you ask me.
But there is a solution! I just created my own new signature, including social media icons. Here it is:

What do you think?

To make your own, here is a great tutorial.
Have fun!

I don’t think there is a cuter Christmas card out there this year. Millie takes the prize. But on the other hand, every parent believes that to be true about their offspring.

Anyway, I wish you all a wonderful holiday season with your family and friends. May your house be filled with laughter and gratitude and the mouth-watering smell of cookies.

Thank you for being a part of my life. You have helped make this year one of the best ones yet!

Much of what is called “intelligence” is our ability to recognize this order in the form of patterns. We recognize cycles (the seasons), sequences (the order in which you put on your clothes), processes (how to convert flour, eggs and milk into waffles), tendencies (cracks in dried mud usually form 120 degree angles), shapes (the stars that make up the constellation Leo), similarities (stellar galaxies and water emptying in a bath tub spiral in the same way), behaviors (etiquette on a crowded bus), and probabilities (the likelihood of throwing a “seven” at a crap table).

experience, period

Speaking of patterns, two of my favorite patterns you can find in this piece called “experience, period”: sewing patterns and envelope linings. And last week I used a sewing pattern the way it was intended, and made a dress for little Mitra on her first birthday. I love the way it turned out – very vintage (and I learned a lot while doing it – e.g. the first time, follow the instructions. the second time, improve them.) I definitely must make one for Millie once she is big enough to walk (long time in the future, I know, but crawling in dresses sucks.)
