Last week I talked about creating the life you want and I am well aware that it sounds easier than it is. I know this from experience. I have a long history of not being able to maintain the life I attempt to create. I am my own worst enemy and here is why; I am a perfectionist! I actually feel guilt (and shame rears its ugly head up now and again too) if I spend time doing what I want to do. I, have been adulting, since childhood. It… Read more Creating and the Guilt of Dropping the Responsibility Ball. →

I am also back in the Studio; painting, knitting… Read more Monday Mosaic: Christmas Past →

This is my Grandma, Martha Jane, or as I like to say…”The Original Martha.” Long before Martha Stewart built her “make it, bake, it” empire my grandmother was a one woman creative force. She literally could do it all and she did it exceptionally well. I learned a myriad of things from her and somehow never quite did them as well as she did and I am okay with that. Here is why I am okay with that. My grandma has reached legendary status in my mind and by doing… Read more Christmas Crafts and Martha Jane →
This week has not gone as planned. We had sent Lily (our Chow Chow) to a pet sitter for a trial run and she came home sick. Lack of sleep and lack of time has kept me from blogging and creating until today. Lily seems to be doing a bit better and while she is sleeping I decided to post quickly that I am still here. I was able to finally finish up two of the three watercolors from the watercolor woes posts and started two more. I bought a… Read more Update →
