A friend of mine has a wedding coming up in a few weeks and I decided to make them some gifts rather than buy. They're the kind of people who put right on the invitation not to get them ANYTHING, but being who I am, I can't do that. So I figure a hand-made little something might fly under the...

My point in blogging about this art project was to see if anyone said “I SEE A BIG MESS!” Sadly, a lot of parents feel that way about art. “Eewwww, messy!” and that keeps them from exposing their children to some important devolvement.
At work I spread out butcher...

Even though I am able to be home and available to my boys during the day if they need me. My focus, for a while, was on art and a book. The boys played outside while I painted. They colored near me while I checked updates. They...

I have been doing my artwork in a freelance fashion on and off for years. I’ve been...

Retro-Active
When things get really busy around the house. When it seems that I am dealing with one little disaster after another. When I’m plugging up bloody noses, putting a band-aid on a scuffed elbow, pulling apart battling toddlers. In a moment almost like a PTSD flashback. I...

My husband and I just bought our first home here in the Sacramento area. We moved in a couple of months ago and are just now starting to get settled. We needed the space for all of our children and space or our individual work, hobbies, interests.

(Yeah, I’m a little scatterbrained today. I couldn't decide on one title.)
