Before my short term disability starts, I have some lingering work projects to tie up. I sit on the couch, legs crossed, right arm raised above my heart thanks to quilts and pillows, it’s as though my cast is The Princess and the Pea. Typos are so prevalent and painkillers coursing through my bloodstream I… Continue Reading Since I Can’t Journal…
Writing this from my phone, today I broke my right arm slipping on black ice. And yep, I’m right handed. I had posts already queued up for the week but I can’t type well so no Artist’s Way update and I can’t properly reply to comments. I will occasionally update on Instagram and Twitter where… Continue Reading What’s New…

To not feel guilty about breaking the spine or dog-earing a page, to take a favorite from the shelf, find an old plane ticket or receipt… Continue Reading Little Bits of Luxury: Books

I didn’t do any of the tasks, I sort of took an AW break. But when I did do my… Continue Reading The Artist’s Way: Week 4 Recap/Starting Week 5
So how was the last week for you? I started off with high hopes, but things got busy and I didn’t do as much as I hoped.
