I just wanted to share with you what I found in the garden this morning. Usually it’s under my husband’s purview to water the garden before work, but he was running late so I stepped in as pinch hitter. I wasn’t entirely sure why watering was necessary as a little bit of rain had fallen, but he…

I am no domestic diva. As I sit here and type a sink full of dishes lie waiting. I think about two days ago I broke down and used the vacuum, but only because the carpet was such a mess even I could no longer over-look it. Often my hubby cracks first and goes through…

I love rocks. Always have. I come from a family of rock lovers. One of my most fond memories is rock picking somewhere in New Brunswick with my sister, mom and dad. I believe there were even signs at this one particular beach that said “no rock picking”. Somehow that seemed wrong. It’s not like…

Hey there, I’ve been distracted lately by succulents and knitting but haven’t been posting much about painting and drawing.

I was just called by a dear friend who asked me the question “where do you get your inspiration?” Good question. Damn good question. The interesting thing is that the question arose from her observations of me as being full of the stuff. I write, I draw, I paint and photograph, cook and knit. But…

Well folks, as is often the case, we intend to take the bull by the horns but in the end we discover it’s the bull who’s in control. I sat down at my keyboard with the intention of writing a new post, sat with fingers poised… and then found nothing but static. I’ve been feeling…

As I mentioned in my previous post “Keep It Simple Genius” part I, I rely on a crock-pot to keep the domestic aspects of our life as simple & blissful as possible. It is truly a wonderful machine. Full disclosure: one of the reasons this works so well is that my husband is an awesome…

This blog post is probably not what you’re imagining. You’re probably thinking that I’m going to talk about remaining creative when you have a commission deadline or something in that vein. But actually I’m going to go on about how to remain creative when life is stressing you out and all you want to do…
