Ha! Completely caught up on posting my daily drawings. It will go back to one to two a day now. That feels good to have them all scanned in and on flickr and here on the blog. Can you believe it? Day 73? And I thought I would just be doing this for a month. [...]

{this little guy is a mole, he was pictured in my gardening catalog and I just had to draw him} I’ve been trying to stay home on Sundays (or at least out of the office), so no posting drawings on Sundays. That seems reasonable. Sunday was pretty busy, but really fun. We had a great [...]

I have been making a lot of headway clearing space for the things I love by getting rid of the things I’m “meh” about. Books are a hard topic for me because I love them so much in general and it’s taken me a long time to realize I don’t have to love each and [...]

Today was very productive in the studio! I started out with having a head start on today’s post, so it was actually up on the website before lunch. Then I cruised right though writing tomorrow’s post (during lunch) and scheduled that. Pulled out polymer clay for Friday’s post (which you will have to go check [...]

Since moving to Ames I have gone from being a vegetarian to trying to loose weight on the atkins diet. I know what you are thinking “what the hell was she thinking! atkins!” Well, that was the problem, I wasn’t thinking.

Here is my bike (I love you bike!) and my new trailer. I went with a kid trailer because they were about $250 less expensive than a flat bed and as it turns out, work better for what I will be using it for – groceries, mail, packages, studio supplies, sewing rebellion set up (table, [...]

It has been alllll too long since I last posted! Oh my goodness. There has been a lot of fun things going on around here and the general theme  has been “exhausting and overwhelming”! Here is a quick list of new things (with quick pictures): 1. New self portrait that sucks a little less than [...]

I’m happy to announce the starting of a new great project called Thrift Kitchen! Basically Jason and I are now both officially giving full time self employment a try… which means no money! Or at least just barely enough to get by. Pretty much anything that can be cut is getting cut, including the grocery [...]

I’ve been trying for awhile to start doing yoga again. I just get really tense in my – well – whole body really. My muscles are always just really sore. And yoga significantly helps. We have On Demand now, but honestly, there really isn’t that much instruction on where you should be positioning what, some [...]
