haviland 12 days of Christmas plates
First of all, I loved reading through all of the comments on Wednesday’s post! I didn’t intend for it to happen, but everyone gave me great ideas for blog posts next year.

creative frontier
The first few days after my surgery was tough in some ways, but in one way, I was sort of enjoying it. It was a forced rest. I couldn’t do very basic things that were staples in my line of work…typing, writing, painting, holding a camera. The things that felt safe, normal, and routine were […]
October 2019 Favorites
I have been out of my sling for a week and it’s been going pretty well! The first couple of nights were tough, so I have been wearing the sling to sleep. Otherwise, I’m gaining a teeny bit of mobility each day, but those gains are adding up. I can drive, type, write, get dressed […]
