Chad received this miniature, wooden piano as a thank-you gift from an intern at work, who knew Chad has taken up playing again (thoughtful, right?). It’s a 3-D puzzle you piece together, bit by bit. Never having paid attention to 3-D puzzles, I was completely inspired by the tiny details
This morning I repackaged a PDF color guide that I created, one that lays out the basics of color theory. If choosing or mixing colors for various projects is difficult for you (like it was for me in the beginning!), the guide is now up on my website under “Learn“.

I just received the first shipment of greeting cards that I’ll keep in inventory for Copper House North and it made my heart sing. 180 cards, 18 from-the-heart designs. (As I type this, I’m struck by the number “8”. It’s my favorite and always seems to find me wherever I
When I was in my 20s, a work colleague used to frequently say, “cookin’ with gas”. I thought it sounded dad-like, but it always made me smile. When you hear something often enough, chances are, you’re going to start repeating it. So now, whenever I’m making good progress on something,
