My day-time job is teaching art to kids at the local Boys and Girls Club. I’m blessed that my working life still involves creativity. It has surprised me over the years how inhibited some kids can be, I had assumed that the joy of childom was to be very uninhibited. Instead, I find the majority…

What to do with 8 oz of Lavender oil and 2 cups of lavender buds? I don’t know. I haven’t come close to using all that, but I can show you what I did do to use about 16 drops of that 8 ozs. Important: Before beginning experiments, decant lavender oil into a dropper bottle;…

I hate paperwork. And yet, the winding path of my life has led me to a point where paperwork is the order of the day. It started small, as all things do. In the very beginning it was just a small thing: a social security number( rather a Social Insurance Number since I started out…

Gack. I lack inspiration at the moment. My work schedule has shifted…I feel shifted…it’s going to take me some time to figure out how to reorganize my creative life. In the meantime, since I missed taking part in the local photography club slide show ( a bi-annual community event)…just totally gapped, dropped the ball, forgot…
