MAINE's welcome wagon

We officialy arrived in Maine a week ago. And while there are a few things we are still working out,  we couldn’t be happier to be here. I started a new job, and have been having a blast exploring our new surroundings. Even Einstein has made some new friends. Our current neighbor has a lovely [...]


CRAFTY BASTARDS 2010 here we come

Well it’s actually quite a while until Crafty Bastards (over 2 months away). But I am so excited to be invited to be part of this amazing indie craft show. This will be the farthest I have ever traveled for a craft show, but some awesome people have reminded me that the leaves will be [...]


PORTLAND MAINE here we come

It’s been sort of radio silence around here for the last couple weeks. Matt and I enjoyed our trip to Maine and found a great space that we will be calling home for at least the next year. I’ve been busy getting ready for a wholesale show as well as packing up the peppersprouts shop [...]


HEADING UP the coast

WEEKENDS IN NYC brooklyn botanic garden

Matt’s parents were in town this weekend so we decided to head over to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. I have lived in Brooklyn for 4 years and have actually never been there before (it’s a shame I know). This place is simply beautiful. I always worry about going to “guidebook destinations” in the city because [...]


A BEAUTIFUL DAY in central park

On Saturday I received a call from an old friend that I haven’t seen in about a year. It’s not because we live so far away from each other there really is no good reason at all for the time lapse in our friendship. We met up in Central Park, with Matt and Einstein and [...]


KATE MILLER-HEIDKE has the most amazing voice

I went to see Ben Folds perform last night at Town Hall in Manhattan. It’s such a small intimate theater and we had just amazing seats so needless to say the show was amazing. I actually didn’t give much thought to who, if anyone, might be the opening act. In this case I was blown [...]


MAKE WAY for gamers

I’m actually taking off later today to head to Boston to attend PAX east. For those of you who may not be familiar with PAX it’s a game convention put on my the amazing guys at Penny Arcade. Even with my often very busy schedule I still find time to unwind a bit by jumping [...]


SPRING IS HERE a bit early

I know it’s still a few days until the official first day of spring but spring has come a bit early here in Brooklyn. This morning when I walked out the front door I noticed a few crocuses have bloomed under our currently barren rose bush. The sun was hitting them just right so I [...]
