Studio Closing
Sadly the Studio will be closed starting October 1. I’ve happily accepted a full-time position in a communications department for the state government. I’m excited for the new opportunity to use my graphic design skills as well as work with a team of fantastic folks. I have so many fond memories of workshops and parties ...
The Great Escape
The deep roots of yesteryear draws me closer. With the sound of crunching gravel beneath my feet I explore the beauty of the gardens. Song birds perform a chorus among the tree canopy while native blooms flaunt their vibrant hues. Here there are no pending deadlines no nagging emails no dirty dishes no arguing children ...
Chicken on the Brain
We finally did it! After months of researching, talking to chicken owners, and debating coop designs, we added three baby chicks to our human flock. Let me present to you, Batty (aka Bat Girl), Honey, and Eve. These messy girls are such little dears. I’m enjoying getting to know their personalities. Batty is a black ...
$50,000 bank acount
Drove up the the teller today and saw that someone forgot to take their receipt. The customer was long gone and curiosity got the best of me…I looked at the balance. $51,000 in checking. I wonder how much the person has in savings? I can’t help but be jealous. If you tuned into my post, ...

DIY Organic Veggie Garden, Step One: Planning
The cold, Canadian air is moving down into the valley this week. The kids are giddy at the possibility that school may be canceled. I too am happy. A snow day means more time for me to play. Surely I’ll play with the kids, cozy up to read a few books and sip hot chocolate. ...
Travel the Trail
Technology, isn’t it amazing? Flashback White knuckles at the Apple IIe, I feverishly push the up, down and over keys to point my trigger. A bunny is hoping from the right and a deer is coming at me at 10 o’clock. I go for the deer. The outcome of this move could mean the life ...
Sharing the Love of Crafting with you this Valentine’s Day
Finally finished with my first stop motion animation as well as my first song ever. This took a while for me to put together…almost 400 frames as well as photoshop work but it was fun. I made the puppet from the same process as I’ve shown you before (Perfectly Imprudent Puppets) and then photoshoped my ...
