velkommen til tromsø
We’ve been in Tromsø for two weeks as of today, and what a whirlwind it’s been. There’s been so much to do and so many new experiences that I’ve barely had time to think, let alone sit down at the computer (let’s not even talk about the state of my email inbox). We’ve been in our… Continue reading

a day trip to harrisville, new hampshire
My last week in Seattle went by in a flash. The whirlwind of emotions is difficult to describe, but in some moments, it just hit me. In others, it really didn’t feel like I was leaving at all. I expect that’ll continue to happen for a little while. I left Seattle on Sunday, and I’ve been in… Continue reading

a move; a shift; a change
I have some rather big news to share today. I’ve been looking forward to sharing it so I’ll get right to it – and for those of you who want to know the hows and whys and buts, you can read on below – but here it is: I’m moving to Norway this August where I’m going back to grad… Continue reading

slovenia
Slovenia was special. I’ll be up front about the fact that before we started planning this trip, I didn’t know that much about Slovenia (even having lived in a bordering country, Hungary, for a year). A small country on the Adriatic Sea, sandwiched between Italy and Croatia, it has a population of just over two million… Continue reading

some thoughts
We’re really into the meat of our trip now (or if the trip is a chausson aux pommes, we’re into the gooey pastry filling). It’s nice to take a step back from the daily routine – home and work truly feel lightyears away – and we’ve seen some incredible stuff. I’ve been thinking about food, too.… Continue reading

land of the angles
Here’s to falling asleep at 7:30 pm (because you didn’t sleep at all on the red-eye) and not getting up until 7:00 am the next morning. To blustery December days and afternoon tea breaks. To long talks over a veggie English breakfast. And to handknit socks when you’re far from home and forgot to pack… Continue reading

a trip and a pattern sale
In a sort of continuation of my last post: while we small business owners are very lucky to do what we get to do, and I am so immensely grateful for the community of talented and creative people I get to work with regularly, small business can be a slog. December, in the run-up to Christmas, tends… Continue reading

norsk folkemuseum part 2: indoors
I’ve been back from Norway for nearly two weeks and I’m finally settling in again and beginning to get back into a work flow. It’s so easy to forget how much of a buffer is sometimes needed between long travel and diving back into work. In any case, today I’m writing about the other half… Continue reading

norsk folkemuseum part 1: the open-air museum
I’ve been wanting to get to the Norsk Folkemuseum on Bygdøy all summer, and last week I finally made it! The official English name is the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History, but for the sake of simplicity, I’m simply going to refer to it as the Folkemuseum. One of the perks of attending the International Summer School at… Continue reading

a visit to the voss folkemuseum
On my trip to Voss last weekend we had a chance to visit the Voss Folkemuseum. While my trips to museums with groups are always shorter than they would be when I’m on my own (I spent so many hours at the National Museum of Iceland a few months back, which I am now realizing I never… Continue reading
