A New Year, and a Sneak Peek

Hello, and Happy 2012!

I really, really, really wanted my first post of the year to be a big reveal of our amazing, newly-renovated kitchen, but we’re still adding some finishing touches at this phase. Though we won’t have cabinet doors for a while (that’s a Phase 2 project), everything else is in place and unpacked and moved back in. What a feeling!

Look forward to showing you a big ole gallery of photos tomorrow. In the meantime, I’ve included a little peek for you (above).

In other news, I’m compiling a schedule of where I’ll be to promote Mr. Prickles over the next couple of months, and I should have a couple of event announcements later this week. If you’re interested in a visit from me (complete with a reading, signing, and Prickly craft project!) at your bookstore, library, or school, drop me a line at karalareau@me.com.

More over the next few days re: what I’ve been up to so far in 2012. (Hint: it involves a LOT of yarn.)

    Love it!
    Just painted my old kitchen cupboards a similar green. I love your “old” pulls.

    Thanks, Mona! We’re really happy with the colors we chose. The cabinets are painted Benjamin Moore’s “Arlington Putty,” which reads as yellow, green, or tan, depending on the light. : )

    today, December 1, no matter what day of the week it comes on, is obviously a big holiday in France, After I was at the Vatican, John Paul II was Pope and we
    celebrated his baptismal name morning, Karol (Charles), on November 4.
    A Pope time as the Vatican Curia constantly celebrated
    that day was often any occasion. If the stars aligned
    and December 1 fell on Wednesday and a Friday and November 4 on Friday,
    we had a four- day weekend.

    Once I was selected in July to be a speaker at this 12 months’s
    TEDx — a day-lengthy occasion that invites speakers to present their
    ‘Ideas Worth Spreading’ — I had no idea what I was getting myself into.
