Hello all you lovely people who read my blog.
You are all GEMS.  Thank you for your support! It means so much to me. Really.

Grace: A Memoir

As I mentioned in my New Year's post, I'd like to be constantly reading a good book. Reading has a way of opening my mind, and making me feel way more sophisticated than I normally am, ha.

Grace: A Memoir, is a book that I had been eyeing for a long time (ever since The September Issue, actually) and I finished a couple weeks ago.
Though it presented the fashion business in more detail than I could swallow, I really enjoyed learning about Grace and the world she lives in. She has a lovely voice/ outlook and is very much a person I'd love to meet one day.  It also has great fashion photographs and funny illustrations done by Grace herself which depict events in her life. The book has an  overall feeling of unearthing hundreds of small fragments of memories, some emotional, some strictly business. I would recommend it to anyone that loves fashion, biographies, and icons. Grace is really something.

Goodreads review and rating, if you're into that.

GOALS for 2015

everything I have knitted since October

In my Christmas letter, I mentioned I embarked on a knitting adventure during my hiatus.
I can only knit and crochet in squares or circles; the sweater up top is a shrunken JCrew top that I gave to Talia and added an embellishment to make it look a little less accidental. But it turns out you can still make cute, minimal accessories and even wall hangings.
I'm loving this yarn craze, mostly because I can watch sooo much Netflix and not feel guilty. And the results are lovely and warm. I have my abuelitas to thank for this amazingess.

Haupt Christmas Card 2014

Aspens and Blooms

I had the grand opportunity to work with a client who wanted to capture the moments of her wedding date in watercolors. I felt so privileged to have been a part of the conservation of such a special day for this new family. They were married in a lovely grove of trees, with an appearance of a moose, and a beautiful bouquet by local florist, Ashley of Tinge Floral.
