Here’s a nifty little piece about me in the Fall issue of the RISD XYZ Alumni Magazine.
“Totally practical and refreshingly ridiculous”… that’s pretty much me, yeah!
Many thanks to RISD for the shout-out!

Pastariffic!
The ravioli-lovin’ staff at Everyday with Rachael Ray have featured my Spongioli super-absorbent kitchen sponge design in their October 2010 issue!
I don’t know about you, but there is something about ravioli that captures the imagination. OK, that might apply to just me.
Anyhow, thanks for another nod, Rachael. You’re cool.
People, People Who Need People…
They’re the luckiest people in the world! Speaking of which, there’s a whole magazine just for People, you know? And, in June 2010’s issue, sandwiched between Joran van der Sloot and Tori Spelling you’ll find a handy dandy gift guide for Dads featuring my Pizza Boss 3000, which is a pizza wheel that handles like a circular saw.
Rachael Ray, You Rock!
And do you know why you rock, Ms. Rachael Ray? Because you choose cool items to feature in your magazine, and you chose one of mine again!
Here’s Twiggy, which is a silicone basting brush shaped like a twig. Hence, the name.
It’s in the June 2010 issue…get your barbecue on, people!
Pewter Plate Cover of the Year Award!
I received an unexpected package from Highlights the other day. I do a lot of work for them, but I couldn’t figure out what might be in this mysterious box.
It was THIS!
It’s the 2009 High Five Cover of the Year Award, a.k.a. a Pewter Plate Award. I know you can’t see it in the picture, but it’s all specially engraved for me, mentioning the specific cover shown here, “Let’s Read!”
I am very honored to receive this, because frankly, there is a LOT of beautiful art on and between the covers in any given Highlights/ High Five issue. Thank you, Highlights staff!
New Item in Rachael Ray!
Rachael Ray, you’re the tops. Once again, one of my designs has turned up in her monthly magazine, specifically April 2010!
The item is called Budget Cuts, and it’s a piggy bank with various budget-related “cuts” outlined on it. Get it?? Haha! So you, too, can save your pennies for lottery tickets and donuts. Mmmmm, donuts.
Here’s how it looks all by itself, from the FRED site:
Half Pint in Rachael Ray this Month!
My little glass creamer called “Half Pint” has made an appearance in the November 2009 issue of Everyday With Rachael Ray magazine! They do a great job over there of finding cool current items. I appreciate their enthusiasm for my designs!
They listed the link for The Museum of Modern Art store in NYC as a fine place to find it, and I agree. They still have it listed as one of their “best sellers.” Yay!
On the cover this month!
My cover art for the November issue of Highlights High Five is on newsstands now!
It was so weird to see it on the rack at Borders the other day…surreal, in a good way!
I am happy to have all of my favorite things converge at once in this piece…bunnies, reading, big overstuffed chairs, patterns, and Highlights!
Fall Highlights!
Well, look. It’s already November.
I’ve been very busy here with all kinds of fun goings-on. Well, fun + work+ The Usual Stuff That Must Be Done, you know what I mean! In the meantime, a few new Highlights High Five magazine features came out. Cowboy Cornbread for October:
And Saucy Turkey Sandwiches for November!
Ah, turkey. Tis the season!
Hot Off the Press!
I love seeing where my designs turn up. Here are some neat new places to find a couple of my items!
Crazy Books, the Food edition is coming out in October in Germany from Edition Braus. The publisher is debuting it at the Frankfurt Book Fair this year. My Calf and Half creamer is in it- keep your eyes open when in Germany (drat, I was just there a few weeks ago)!
Here is the current Fall ’09 MOMA (Metropolitan Museum of Art) catalog, with another of my glass items, the Half-Pint Creamer. Every purchase made thru the catalog supports the museum. Sweet!
