from the window of my office in the studio

That’s all.

in which the raffle is performed, with many (mostly ridiculous) photographs

Garrett’s project, Beyond The Light, received 102% funding on Kickstarter! The project closed on his birthday- and I think this was one of the nicest presents he could have received.  Thank you so, so much to everyone who helped to make this happen- to everyone who donated, to everyone who tweeted, or passed the message [...]

beyond the light

{ETA: If you donate and you’d like to be added to the raffle, please send me an email at onmytiptoes@gmail.com!} My talented brother- in- law- to- be, Garrett Sendlewski, works as an animator & is working on a short film called Beyond The Light. He’s asking for pledges for funding in exchange for production credits, [...]

in which there is an ending, a beginning, and a new adventure

The news is true: The Sanguine Gryphon is disbanding. In January 2012, Cephalopod Yarns is beginning. I’m spending tonight caught between two places, in limbo between 2.5 years of hard work and a future of new adventures. I don’t know what to say tonight. This is hard, because it is both an end and a [...]

in which I clear up some confusion

I have been fixing some broken links and photos in old posts- some things didn’t make the transition to WordPress smoothly. Weirdly, when I make these changes each post shows in my feed as being new. I am not headed back to Afghanistan, as much as it pulls on my heart. I promise. I’m just [...]

in which we are terribly sad

Inertia, aka “Pants”, our International Cat Of Mystery, died today. He just laid down to sleep and his heart went out, which is probably one of the nicest ways we can think of to die.   I already miss him, horribly. He joined our family as a kitten, while we were living in England. He [...]

in keeping and in grief

“It is better to die on your feet than live on your knees.” – Emiliano Zapata

two years ago

Jawed, I am so sorry. I wish I had known. I wish that I could have known. I wish I could have done more, or anything. I didn’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know anything, tonight, except that you deserved better.

in need of a home

I know there is someone reading this who is deperately in need of a tortoiseshell cat. Specifically, a lovely, healthy little girl named Solstice who was rescued by Noelle, Lisa and Dave this winter. Solstice is about one year old, potentially younger, and very, very small. She’s FIV- and wormed, updated on shots and in [...]

ache

A very dear friend went back to Afghanistan this week. It hurts. I miss Afghanistan, some times. Not the part where I’m away from my friends and family and home, but the mountains and the mornings and the smell of the place, and this friend, who was there with me. It feels as though the [...]
