El Guapo did his Christmas shopping early and decided to stay in on a very cold Halloween night. Why not make the runaway best selling #WildGame memoir by @adriennebrodeur one of your #christmasgiftideas? It’s a sit -down -and -read -in -one- sitting kind of a book and don’t forget to keep a copy for yourself. Proud of my pal and her boundless creativity. And visit www.Adriennebrodeur.com to catch her in person on her book tour! #artisticcommunity

Next design for winter/spring collection inspired by a detail from an Indian paper remnant I found in a yard sale. I snapped a close up and drew my own version. Where would you like to see this?

A bit of old Aspen in this photo of my sister Heather Catto Kohout circa 1967. Five years seems both long and short when you lose a beloved. The longing doesn't shift much but the ability to cope does. For me, writing is coping. From my blog:📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝📝 She was part of my life on this ground for 49 years, and still is, of course, but is now part of an interior landscape of shades, yearning and nostalgia. A great sister--and mine was--makes you visible, affirms you. Women tend to be listeners -- we listen to our kids, to dinner partners, to the disgruntled parents at school, to the lonely contractor, to the dissatisfied soul at the post office, to the neighbor, to other members of the family. As an introvert with a powerful "look at me, don't look at me" dynamic, this is a safe place, but an isolated one. Heather was the one who listened to me, and was interested in the quotidian details of my life, alongside the more opaque side of my inner life. She was honest when my paintings baffled her, or when I was prone to lazy thinking, and honest when she thought I was wrong. We would call each other when we were having fat and ugly days, or poor poor pitiful me days, or when we just needed a bitch session. We could move from the trivial to the complex with ease. She would call to ask if my daughter was over a cold, to learn of our son’s antics, what I thought of a particular book or a Krista Tippett interview, or wonder if I was sleeping well since women in our family struggle with insomnia. There was never impatience, just a flow of conversation. And like all sisters, we shared a repository of family lore and drama. My husband is my best friend, but Heather was my North Star.#sisterhood
