We’re still knee deep in website design, which means that I daydream about graphics and design in the shower, on walks, on line at the post office. These little speech bubbles came to me while I was pondering a clever way to announce the N E W S in my new space. I’m still not…

To market, to market
I’m busily preparing for tomorrow’s visit to the Tuesday Market in Northampton, MA. Local friends, this is one of the sweetest, freshest, sweetest community building markets in our area. There is fresh fish, bright vegetables, warm baked breads and muffins, local hard cider, and maple shaved ice. And, art! There is art too! I am …
some things.
In preparation for the launch of my new website (emilyneuburger.com), I’ve tidied up my blog and designed a fresh, new banner for the top.

we went to the ocean
These are a few photographs from our week by the ocean. One of our favorite days was spent at the Audobon Bird Sanctuary in Wellfleet. It was a quiet spot with trails, tall trees, baby birds, and tiny crabs that popped out to say “hello” as soon as we stood still. There were three other…
t-shirt necklaces
These simple necklaces came together with just some jersey and a jar of assorted beads. Instead of the usual wire or twine, we cut strips of t-shirt jersey, and yanked on them so they resembled cord. It was an especially satisfying summer afternoon project — the children loved transforming fabric into cord and it involved…
July 4th
Happy 4th of July to all those who live in the states. Tom mowed the lawn. The kids romped, and I baked a cake, did a bit of thrifting, and worked on some exciting plans for my fall classes. We’ll be eating dinner with my parents and my aunt and uncle in a few…
a pocket memory
We kicked off our summer with a camping adventure with dear friends. Sleeping in the woods is such a clear reminder to slow down. We felt the breeze on our faces as we fell asleep. We swam in a sandy bottom lake. We skipped and biked and roasted food over the fire. There was just…

Summer Camping :: Tips & Suggestions
We’re counting the days until a lakeside camping trip with our dear friends. The children have been discussing how many marshmallows will be roasted, how long they will stay in the water each day, and which songs to sing around the fire. All of this camping chatter makes me happy and also excited to…
