Ode To My Best Friend

At the risk of sounding like a crazy cat lady, I love our cats Simon and Garfunkel, particularly this cat above. I picked Simon up at a strangers house just five years ago.

At that time I was still living in Huntington and going to school. I had just come back from a summer living in [...]

Bringing Down To & Do

You know who is really good at lists? Not me! Elsie Flanagan from Red Velvet Art. I’ve been reading her blog A Beautiful Mess for a couple of years now and I’m always amazed at how much she gets done. Does this woman sleep?

I took one of her online courses and during a Q and [...]

Creative Goals \

Working from home means two things (well, much more, like expensive health care, but…) 1. flexibilty 2. time goes by extremely fast.

Could you say no to this face?

a handmade christmas

I have to admit, even though it’s two weeks until Thanksgiving, I’m secretly thinking about and planning for Christmas. Last year seemed to really fly by before I had a chance to actually enjoy everything that I love about the season. It was our first Christmas together in Virginia and it felt like we were [...]

Getting it together

I haven’t blogged for some time in this space even though I have lots to share.  I’ve been wanting to move to wordpress for some time now and here I am.  My goal is to use this as a creative space for what I am doing and why. I miss blogging here and I miss sharing. Thank [...]
