There are all sorts of amazing things happening in November this year. I just happen to be involved in one of them each weekend leading up to Thanksgiving. Are you looking to plan your activities and maybe get a jump on some handmade Christmas shopping? Look no further.

Roslindale Open Studios 11/1 & 11/2
I’m lucky to be participating in Roslindale Open Studios this year. This is the 10th year of ROS and they’re a great group to work with. If you want to start your Christmas shopping with some handmade items and also want the chance to look around Roslindale, take a bike tour, and sample some craft food and beverage, the first weekend in November is it!
I’ll be in the lower level of the Roslindale Congregational Church. The excellent ROS website has my listing details here. The weekend events listing is here and the directions are here.
There’s also ROS Home Studio Bingo.
You have to play to win and you have to be there to play. Want to know more? Come to Roslindale on 11/1 & 11/2!

Celebrate the Season!
No, not that season. The one we’re in right now. Autumn.
Somerville is celebrating the final SomerStreets of the year on Sunday October 19th with the Monster Mashed UP Festival. Major streets will be closed, ghosts and goblins will walk among us, and fun will be had by all. Also, there will be pumpkins, face painting, a parade, costume contests (for pets and their people) and, you’ve probably guessed it by now, craft vendors.
I’ll be there in my tent with all sorts of things to tempt you. Things that make great host gifts, things that make gifts for yourself, and yes, things that make great holiday gifts as well.
Details are here. Please come! It’s a rain or shine event. We’re hardy New Englanders after all, and this is only Autumn. Winter is, as they say, still coming.
See you there!

Mark your calendars! Cambridge Open Studios is coming!
Cambridge Open Studios is back, and this year it is all of Cambridge in only one weekend. Just like last year there will be a shuttle bus that will take you, for free, all over town. And, lucky for us all, the primary departure point will be at Cambridge College, 1000 Mass Ave, every hour on the hour. That also happens to be where I’ll be showing my work this year. I love it when a plan comes together.

I welcome our new feline overlords
A little while back Shakay sent us a link to this website. The design is fantastic and the fact that this is all designed for cats just thrills me to pieces.
It also terrifies me.
