creative retreat with shaunna
Well, I made it back from Florida! The trip there was a little eventful (lots of delays, maintenance issues with planes, etc.), but I got there and only lost a few hours in the process. This is the second creative retreat I’ve done that wasn’t going to a planned/scheduled conference. Of course, attending a conference […]
repairing a broken stool
I was going to call this post “how to fix loose stools”, but I realized that sounded like an Immodium commercial or something and came up with a different name. You’re welcome for that. Anyway, moving past the potty humor, I have a thing for antique stools. They are multi-functional and, since they are hard-working […]
a little “spring cleaning” for my indoor plants

If you were having that trouble, you can click HERE, enter your e-mail, click subscribe, and then you’ll get an e-mail to download the guide. Sorry about that! I noticed […]
Personal Retreat Guide for Creatives
Last March, I went on a three-day creative retreat to Florida with a friend. She needed a break from her routine and so did I. So, we traveled together, split the cost of a hotel room, and then went our separate ways each day to get what we needed. That time was so valuable! I […]
#indexcardartproject completed & what’s next…
Well, I finally finished the #indexcardartproject! It’s about a month late, but that’s okay. It really didn’t need to be completed in a set time and I found I didn’t want to rush through it. I was enjoying these little studies and I didn’t want to miss the lessons along the way, simply because I […]
gold rush purchases
Saturday was Jeff’s birthday and he went out for a special father-son breakfast for some time with our youngest before we spent time together as a family. On their way home, he saw that there was an antique market happening at the Rochester Fair Grounds. And, believe it or not, he called and told me […]
new pulls for my desk
I just can’t leave well enough alone. That quality is what actually led me into decorating in the first place, so I am thankful for it, but it does mean I’m always looking for ways to customize and/or improve something even when they are perfectly fine as is. Well, one thing I wanted to customize […]
the cowbird egg of ideas
As I shared last week, some birds (I’ve since learned they are house finches) have built a nest on my front door, tucked behind my Christmas wreath. I have been watching the eggs with excitement and wonder. As someone who has never been much of a birdwatcher, I’m getting sucked into that fascinating world. A […]
