Well, Since You Asked

At least one of you has, anyway. Lynn asked me to show some book covers I have designed. I did that yesterday, so today you can see some of the business cards I have designed for friends and family. Some of these businesses aren't operating anymore, so don't bother calling.

We'll start with a local floral designer. This woman is still working but under a different business name and in a different location.

This is a card I did for my sister's floral design business. I removed the phone number because I'm not sure she's looking for more business and might be surprised by out-of-state calls.

Here are two options I gave my niece the music teacher. She chose the green one because the other one suggested she only teaches small children. She's right, but I still like the design. The green option is printed with black ink on a sage green cotton card stock.

And this was for a woman I know who was hoping to launch a jewelry-making business. It never took off, and now she has moved out of town. I am hanging on to this design in case it comes in handy later.

I just love the furtive looking sunflower seller on your sister's card, Robyn.
The green one with the woodcut is fantastic, too.
In fact they all are, but those two are my particular favourites.
Splendid stuff!

I just love my card too! It is getting rave reviews all over town. Plus, Robyn was kind enough to send me the components of it so I could make my own businness stationery and invoices. It is actually more of a glorified hobby than a business.

Classic Green Bean Bake

In anticipation of Thanksgiving, I feel I must post a recipe with plenty of good old American tradition. The classic Green Bean Bake was invented in 1955 by Dorcas Reilly, a home economist who worked for the Campbell's Soup Company. A study was done determining that 50% of all Americans have eaten the classic Green Bean Bake, and 38% of those believe it is best served during the holidays, mainly Thanksgiving. So, for the other 50% and for those in other countries where this dish may be unfamiliar--my treat: The Classic Green Bean Bake serves 6 to 8 1 can Campbell's Cream of Mushroom Soup 1/2 cup milk 1 teaspoon soy sauce Dash of fresh pepper 1 20-oz. bag frozen cut green beans, thawed* 1 2.8 oz can French-fried onions -Preheat the oven to 350 F -In a casserole dish, combine the soup, milk, soy sauce and pepper. Stir in the green beans and half of the onions. -Bake until bubbling, about 25 minutes. Top with the remaining onions and bake for 5 more minutes. Serve hot. *Or cook 1 ...

Bring On the Bombs

In today's edition : I generally try to keep on top of cultural trends even if I don’t adopt them, but there is a growing movement that I have only just discovered. Not long ago, I was walking along in Berkeley, California while visiting my daughter, and I saw a signpost that had been covered with yarn, like someone had sewn a knitted scarf to it. It was colorful and randomly striped, and I pointed it out as if it were the most unusual thing in the world. That’s when my daughter explained the nature of what is known as yarn bombing. It’s when knitters attach something they’ve created to a public object, most often doing their deed stealthily and anonymously. They leave a “bomb,” so to speak, for no other purpose than to brighten up the place and to bring a little cheer to those passing by. Their work has been equated with graffiti, except that the woven yarn is not permanently installed and does no damage to the object it covers. And instead of signifying the territory of a street ...

Cindy Loo Who In October

What is it with people and Cindy Loo Who? Of my last one hundred blog hits, forty have been direct visits from regular readers, and fifteen have been as a result of people searching for "Cindy Loo Who," the little pixie from Seuss's How The Grinch Stole Christmas . A couple of years ago, I posted an image of the original Seuss illustration as compared to the TV cartoon image, and for some reason, that post is bringing in the crowds, relatively. Maybe it's the weather. It isn't even November yet, and already we've had frost and have had to dust off our winter coats. When it gets cold like this, I start to think about Christmasy things like listening to Nat King Cole and decorating the tree. It's ironic because I am offended when retailers start pushing holiday stuff early, but I don't mind my own private celebrations. When my sister and I were much younger and still living with our parents, we would pick a day in July, close the curtains to darken the ...
