It is finally summer here. Oh my goodness. It’s been a cold, long, miserable spring, and I’ve been seriously displeased. But yesterday, summer burst into full swing and the trees have suddenly bloomed, the flowers are out, and the heat is here. Took it’s sweet time, but whatever. This year, I may even be slightly [...]

Taking responsibility
April 13, 2009 – 10:48 am
Ever get the feeling that everyone’s just watching you to see if you’ll fail? Definitely getting that vibe from certain people around Jesse and I about our plans to move to PEI. And it’s frustrating, and I’ve been letting it get to me. It comes over me as a feeling of total helplessness, a powerlessness [...]
Happy Hour Fridays: I've got the plague
February 27, 2009 – 9:37 am
There is nothing more delightful than a little packaged painting, sitting on your bed, waiting to be shipped off to unknown lands (well, Oregon) to meet new people and adventure in the world. Especially knowing that you decorated the heck outta the packaging, so it looks super awesome. It was mostly just an excuse to [...]

Get this – I just spent the last hour and a half playing with pastels and getting embarrassingly messy. Me! Playing! And having fun! I am so happy right now. I’m really feeling joyous.

Grab bag: Alpacas, niches and money.
December 10, 2008 – 9:12 am
I thought today, we all needed a little dose of alpaca. Its snowing here, so instead of thinking about snow, I decided that a warm, fluffy, slightly odd-looking animal would be much more fun! Everyone, I’d like you to meet…Pru. $25.00 US + Free Shipping Pru was the funniest alpaca I have ever met. When [...]
Let's give this another go.
September 26, 2008 – 7:52 pm
I’ve decided to start this blog, not, ironically enough because all artists need a blog these days. I’ve known that for months. I had one for a while, but forgot about it so often that I eventually deleted it, as it seemed pretty pointless. This blog will be different. This blog will actually have a [...]
