to New Haven- where there was very little snow.

and then it was too dark for photos.<\/p>\n

I will start with the most fun thing- On Tuesday afternoon, I visited the Etsy Lab<\/a>– it was great! I was very unsure about the whole expedition, wondering if it was going to be totally weird, but everyone was very nice and welcoming. I guess what I should have done was to take photos of me with all the people that work there… but I didn’t. Instead-<\/p>\n

this is what greets you when you come in the door-<\/p>\n

A wall of artwork from Etsy people. I left an atc<\/a> to add to the wall.

Outside the offices, there is a giant poster with everyones avatar… I couldn’t find mine and I did look for a while!<\/p>\n

Other stuff I did- I went to the Museum of Art and Design<\/a> and saw Pricked, Extreme Embroidery<\/a>. There were a few pieces that stuck with me- one by Paul Villinski<\/a> of wings made of gloves<\/a>. Another by Shizuko Kimura<\/a> that was sketches done with thread. Also, Andrea Dezso<\/a>. I have a hard time getting past the fact that this used to be the American Craft Museum and they felt they had to change their name. Please!<\/p>\n

Across the street is the American Folk Art Museum<\/a>– I love that place! They have a permanent collection that I always enjoy. When I visit, I feel like I am seeing old friends. They are having a show that included some amazing papercuts<\/a>. I’ve been seeing a lot of papercuts in the greater internet world and was primed to really enjoy what was on display.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday I went to the Metropolitan Museum<\/a>– which is totally overwhelmingly huge. I did find the costume show<\/a> I was looking for, but I think I had to ask 5 different people and it took 20 minutes to get there from when I started out. Wow.<\/p>\n

Also, lots of walking, people watching, window shopping, fun, fun fun. Oh, such tired feet!<\/p>\n

And then home. This is Penn Station, as we were leaving-<\/p>\n

and out the window of the train again-<\/p>\n

And home again, very late. I think I’ve been catching up on the computer ever since!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
