Handmade Birthday, Part One
posted Sunday May 17th, 2009
Sophie’s birthday party was a success.
And that’s about all I’ll say for the moment, because I’m sick as a dog (hopefully not sick as a pig — I think this is just a summer cold). I have a long, involved post in my head about the whole notion of the DIY aesthetic and why we find it so meaningful in these times. But right now, I need to find a clear surface on the couch and crawl onto it. Ray took the girls to another birthday party, so I’m actually home alone on a Sunday afternoon. Unheard of.
I’ll leave you with the artwork my mother did for the invite to Sophie’s party. More to come.

That is adorable. Clearly I need to take lessons from you on how to create birthday parties.
Oh how cute. I love it.
Oh know! I hope you feel better soon.
I thought about you guys all weekend and wondered how the party went. Can’t wait to hear more about it. What a wonderful drawing by your mom!
I mean, Oh no!
Why do I always make the stupidest typos when writing to you?
Yup, I went to CU alright. Can’t you tell?
VERY impressed by Suzie’s abilities. I had no idea!
Can I borrow your mom for a while?
Wow, I’m sorry that you’re sick but I just love that drawing!
