reworking the office shelves
Buying used books on Amazon and regular visits to means that the bookshelves in my office and studio are always in flux. I’m constantly having to arrange and rearrange to accommodate new acquisitions. So, a couple of weeks ago, I took some time to get the shelves in both my office and studio tidied up. […]
Furniture Dilemmas
I’ve been working on my second Decorating Dilemma and should be ready to post that next week, but it got me thinking… What about doing Furniture Dilemmas? I know my readers love furniture makeovers and, since I don’t have a studio space outside of my home any longer and I’m not getting ready for markets […]
quick turkey avocado burgers

Fabrics & Wallpapers | Rochester House
I shared my paint colors last week and decided to share the fabrics and papers I’ve used so far in our MN house. I’m not asked about them as often as the paint colors, but I probably get a question about my curtains or some other fabric about once a week. The fabrics in my […]
#indexcardartproject take two
Since regaining the use of my right arm, I have been working on getting back into oil painting. It’s been a challenge to try to fit it into my schedule. It’s not just busyness with work, but with family, church, and personal goals (meal prep, exercise, language-learning). When I’m trying to fit it all into […]
