Perfectly, dreamy morning... We woke up to a wonderland. I was excited when I found this scenery through the window. So, I left home with Mike, of course, with a camera. The snow piled high overnight. When we opened the main door of our house, we noticed we were the first to step on the pure snow that morning. I didn't want to make Mike late to work so I said goodbye to him on the street, and I walked and walked so long in our neighborhood. I smelled the fresh morning full of snow. It was pretty amazing.





After I got home with my freezing feet, like a child, I seriously couldn't concentrate on anything. So I printed a lot of SNOW with my wooden type that I bought last fall. It was a perfect moment to print SNOW on this beautiful snow-covered day.

My first project, Save the Date cards, a gift for my friend's wedding in May with my Adana Tabletop Letterpress. I was not totally satisfied of the result, but, I compromised on my first trial. I am far from a professional printer, but I just took a step forward. It was a good chance to get to know my press with a real project. I have to figure out a few problems as I was struggling with my press this time. While I was working on this, I was very happy about being a small part of her wedding more than any other project I had worked on before. And, my friend and her fiance were happy about my present. That was very big to me... :)

One of my favorite place in the city, Bonnie Slotnick Cookbooks. Inside the cozy book store, there is a very generous owner, Bonnie. Her kindness makes this place worth.

Walking around and wearing my camera on Saturday morning from Soho to the West Village. Weekend mornings are the best time to take good pictures. There is still energy around but it is less busy. The street is not packed with tourists and it is quiet, not too quiet though. I love this crispy, fresh and "calm" air in the morning on weekends.

I already miss you, I love you so much!

I know, I have to confess why I couldn't post for a long while. I just couldn't find enough time to manage two blogs-a Korean blog and this one. Recently, I have spent more time updating my Korean blog. Many readers who read my book have visited my Korean blog, so I tried to focus on them. There are some encouraging comments and questions about baking based on my book. I drafted some posts for here, but I never could finish them. :( It is little hard to have two blogs with two languages. But I will try to balance them from now on, alright? :D

We were stuck in Indiana for three days after Christmas came back to a Snow Wonderland. I was concerned a lot at the airport about whether we would go home safe through the obstacles of New York City's slow public transportation. Everything was fine, it was just a little slower. After we arrived our neighborhood, which was piled with snow, I felt like I was in a Winter Wonderland. I have never seen so much snow, but, it was very, very, beautiful just as I have dreamt.
