Dad’s Home! And I need your help.

What a week, what a week…I am filled with gratitude for being able to say that my dad is home! Your heartfelt concern and well-wishes have all been delivered, and I thank you so much for caring.  As I mentioned yesterday, Dad had to stay over an extra night because his triponin levels were still [...]

Update on Dad 4:05 pm Friday

This one will be short, as I don't have too much info.  Just got a call from Mom that though they were expecting to have him today he will have to stay over another night for observation.  The Echo CardioGram that was done to test the function of the heart muscle seemed fine, but the [...]

Update on Dad 7:30 Friday Morning

What?, originally uploaded by mewpaperarts.
As I start a new post on my dad's condition I find it most important to note that he is wearing fake, costume teeth in this photo. I hate to think people that don't know him will think he's got a gnarly grill.
Having gotten the important stuff out of the way, [...]

Update on Dad as of 12:47 pm Thursday

I'm sort of abandoning all the fun and games of my usual blogginess to use this platform as a way of keeping friends and family updated on my dad.  Thanks to all of you have sent prayers and "get wells" and good wishes.  Keep it coming, as we can all use a little divine intervention [...]

Perspective

My dad, originally uploaded by mewpaperarts.
It appears that my family has been given some sort of quota to fulfill, in which each member must make at least one visit per year to an Emergency Room. And, unfortunately, they're all adhering it to it!
Last night, it was my dad, who after eating lunch at work started [...]

Two Fabulous Features in One Day!

Bonus!
The first is on a new blog I found through my Google Analytics page–a for-sure bookmark for any bride-to-be with a savvy style sense and lust for Hollywood Glamour.  Check out my feature on Wedding Obsession and then be sure to browse around for some marital eye candy.

The second, fits hand in hand with [...]

I (do not) Love New York!

Perhaps you’ve already read Michelle of Cicada Studio’s
account of the NYIGF, which we attended together yesterday.  I think you will find our accounts to have plenty of similarities and a few differences.
The first difference being that I don’t think Michelle had to witness a limousine driver open up his car door and vomit on the [...]

In my imagination, this is all real.

When temperatures dip into the single digits, and then linger there for months and months and months on end, I just leave.  I get on my vintage blue vespa and zip off to a streetside cafe in a Florentine piazza.  There, my handsome Italian cameriere Carlo seats me under a glowing tangerine umbrella and and [...]

Renovation Update!

A few weeks ago we started a major construction project, which I first mentioned here.  Whew, what a job!  But we are in the very end stages of the job at this point–the finishing details are left, like reinstalling the trim and touching up paint. Eventually, we are also going to work on our stairs [...]

What’s new at Mew?

Brand New at Mew!, originally uploaded by mewpaperarts.
I have been so excited about these unveiling these new onesies and t's in the shop this week! I'm just smitten with the final result!
I finally found a way to get my original illustrations printed in full color on fabric. My other line of Mew Baby onesies are [...]
