Krista Leben is one of the loveliest people that I have never met. Although I have known Krista online for 8 or 9 years, we have unfortunately never had the chance to meet in-person. Needless to say, I was thrilled to reconnect with my e-friend about a year ago and to hear that her life had taken a creative turn. Since then, I have witnessed Krista’s move to Canada, her ever-increasing involvement in the Ottawa craft scene (through ventures such as The Craft Co-op and Wed by Hand), and... → Read the rest of this article

A recent tweet on Urbanite Jewelry‘s Twitter feed reads: “Time to catch up on tour de tea…I’m behind like a mo fo! Life is crazy busy right now!” For Krista Leben, jewelry designer/event organizer/business owner/world traveler, “crazy busy” is an understatement.

My son remarked to me the other day that he felt that he had been born about 25 years too late, and should have grown up in the 80s.

I woke up this morning and realized that we are now a full month since Christmas and I still have presents to ship and cards to mail. (Sorry, Mom! They’re on their way!) The holiday season was one of my busiest yet.

“The Moustache Merchant” archival art print by Penelope and Pip
At first, it was easy to ignore; but, as November started to take on steam, I began to notice that several of my male acquaintances, including my fella, had curious, patchy bits of stubble gracing the usually-smooth area above their upper lips.
