Plummique has been created as a small side business to help my husband and I raise money to start our family. Four years ago, Derek was diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma. He recovered after treatment, but the side effects from his chemotherapy make it impossible for us to conceive children naturally. The good news is that we can do IVF. The bad news is that it is super expensive. For my day job, I do freelance graphic design. I opened this little shop of my handmade items not only because we really need extra cash to pay for this pricey baby, but also because I love to make things. Some of you have asked me over the years to make you hats or bags. I have time now! And...I can do custom orders. Just shoot me an email. Thanks for browsing my unique little shop. Maybe you'll find something lovely that you or someone you know can't live without. I hope so.
The new Mollies album is recorded. Miles left us for grad school in Bath England a few weeks ago. We're still working out how to get the album mixed and mastered but we're shooting for production time around Christmas.
The new Late Night Alumni album will be digitally released next Tuesday, Oct. 20th. We're hoping for hard copies by Christmas. There are a few low-fi, low-budget acoustic version videos we put together up on YouTube. This one of just John Hancock and I in his studio is my favorite:
As for Derek and I, life is good. We bought a condo in South Salt Lake, but we're hoping we can keep renting it out and stay here in the loft and manage the building. Oh, and my brother John's band "Faded Paper Figures" is going to be played on Grey's Anatomy! That is rad.
