world cup fan

I actually enjoyed watching the world cup this year...for the first time!  maybe it was just the company :)  a few afternoons were spent with Anna and friends at the Gin Mill in Canton!

it's an Etsy Partayyyyy!

sometimes in the world of art you can feel isolated...working, toiling at your craft...so it's nice to get out, and play with fellow artists...and this time it was fellow Etsy-ers as well as just fans of the arts...all gathered together to picnic, and do fun crafts in a park in Hamden :) 

we made lawn flamingos, networked and just had some good food and good times :)

the next generation

meet Joesph Daniel...my cousins Mike and Carrie are now proud parents!  he was born on June 2nd :) 

watch out world...the next generation of charming Brownlie men is here!


this week we went to see the new addition to the family, and I attended my first bris :)
