This is a view of from Kenny's old place. It started storming so badly one night.

I helped Kenny pack up his apt and get organized.

Sara and I had dinner on the roof one night at sunset. This is the view from the roof.

It started to get hot in nyc and I gave in and bought an ac unit at target...

...I thought I could carry it all the way home, but I only made it out of the subway...

...waited on a corner for a cab to drive by...

...took a break on the 4th floor (aka floor H ahhah)...

...and installed it!

These are windows that I worked on for kate spade!

This is a ring that we're coming out with at work for holiday. I love it. Look at that shine!

fireworks!

Sara, Laura and I were on the westside highway for the 4th of July.

I went to visit Dani this weekend in Baltimore. I missed her, and it was like old times. We went to city cafe for brunch and it was deeeelicious. followed by mimosas on her roof with all of our favorite magazines. These are pictures of her apt. She is a giant studio apt. She just moved in and is trying to figure out how to section the space. And Aiden is still a fat cat, but I did miss him. I got my hair cut! It needed a trim. Aunt Kathy and Aunt Melanie and I went to woodberry kitchen for dinner. We had a-mazing desserts!! Malt icecream topped with peanuts and chocolate syrup, and marshmellow and then a blueberry, strawberry, and raspberry with goat cheesecake. The last photo is what caused me to be so delayed yesterday. It took forever and a day to get home.

I am going to Baltimore tomorrow! I am so excited to see Dani and family!! I never thought I would be returning so soon, but since Dani moved back, and she won't come to me, I will go to her.

The weather has been so nice in New York. It is still cool in the mornings and in the evenings. I have been putting off buying an ac unit, but I know the time is coming very soon. I will be going home to florida soon also! 2 weeks today...I am so excited. This time I told mom and dad instead of a surprise.

This is a tote bag I am working on for Women 4 Women (shhhhh...these don't come out till next year). There will be a line of bags that have meanings to them...like little idioms. This is one of mine "be bold be bright" and it will be a bright blue/teal canvas bag, with yellow leather hands with orange fabric sewn on with a red thread. This is just a mock up to see if scale is right, which I think is dead on. I am excited. We sent out templates today to get samples to see how they will look.

And this is my friend gina at work. She was one of the girls hula hooping with me in previous pictures. We matched today. I was the 'day' outfit and she was the 'night' outfit.

It has taken me over an hour to write this. Work is so crazy. Sometimes there are so many things happening at once I feel like my eyes are going to pop out of my head. And then the storm passes and everything/one is calm again. Time to get back to work. I am working on wedding invitations and stationary from next spring!

Happy Thursday! Sara's family has been here all week, and they have been such a huge help with getting the apartment together. It finally feels like we've moved in. I have one box to unpack, but really I know I should just throw it away :D

Sara's mom has decorated a lot. New pillows, and rugs and new lighting. Sara's dad hung a bunch of pictures and mirrors. And her brother replaced our shower head with a nice one.

The weather has been so nice, and then so bad. It will rain really hard for an hour, then we'll have sun, and then it will rain again.

I am getting ready to go out to dinner with Sara and her mom. We are going to Prime Meats, in Brooklyn. Its the sister restaurant to the one that sara works at, Frankies. I got off work today at 2 and came home and took a very long nap, so I am wide awake and very hungry right now.

I just wanted to post some pictures of the apt. and the progress. I would show you my room but I'm not done with it yet. Maybe tomorrow.

Love and miss you all, but I bet you guys don't even read this!
