Fall is my favorite time of year. Forgetting for a moment the abundance of comfort food that begs to be cooked, the crisp chill in the air, the lingering smell of smoke outside, I love it for all the crafts that beg to be made with your family! Who doesn’t look forward to carving out...

My family and I just returned from a holiday visit with family in Oregon. The weather up there was brisk and wonderful and the views were just lovely. I was inspired to take some nature shots with my digital camera just for fun. I'm very pleased with the results and happy to share them with you!...

I talk a lot about the talented kids at work, but haven't raved about my own kid in a while. Maybe that's because he's almost 15? Strange for me to say, but true. This morning he showed me some photos he had taken on his cell phone. Needless to say, I loved them. We go to art galleries quite...

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...

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...

There is a fine line between insanity and genius. I think I crossed the line over 'insanity' and my kid hit 'genius'.
This is my 3rd son....who is 4 years old....
That is a reproduction picture he drew a little while ago. The first drawing was on copy paper with a...

I think I have added work-at-home mother to my status of stay-at-home. I’ve been very busy working on a new project here. An extension to the work I do in my little art studio.
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...
