The sun is going down behind the clouds this evening and much needed drizzle for our brown grass. Our grass looks like it moved out West this year. I can hear the stories churning, and I wonder how many will have droughts or weather related content inside. My post today is in the evening becauseContinue reading “Night Owls!”

Celebrating Independence
I hope everyone enjoyed their Independence yesterday! I have to say that I’m thankful to live in a place where I can express myself through art and writing freely. I’m grateful to have a roof over my head, and to never lack for food. Being a foodie, maybe I indulge a little much. There’s aContinue reading “Celebrating Independence”
Happy 4th of July!
Happy 4th of July Weekend! Many Minnesotans are headed to their cabin at the lake to enjoy a long weekend. A procession of boat parades, hours of activities on the water, and nights by the campfire will be in full force as we reach melting temperatures again. Those who decide to stay in the cityContinue reading “Happy 4th of July!”
Celebration Time!
A celebration is in order! My art pieces were dropped off and put out on display to get ready for Meet and Greet Day on July 10th! A big part of the running around and getting ready for show day is over. I will be ready with pen in hand for book signing at 12:30Continue reading “Celebration Time!”
Event July 10th at 12:30 pm
The middle of the night passed and decisions needed to be made for tomorrow’s due date. You understand if you participate in events. I can’t haul everything with me, and some things decided not to work at the last minute. I have one additional piece that won’t be finished until after the 4th of July,Continue reading “Event July 10th at 12:30 pm”
The Circus Is In Town
Okay, the weekend was a little chaotic trying to get everything ready for show day but it paled in comparison to last night. I think a full blown circus decided to move into town for a few days because I feel like every performer in the show. Not only am I the plate spinning, acrobat,Continue reading “The Circus Is In Town”
Wielding Your Craft
The count day to my Featured Artist spot is only 3 days away and I finished a few more deadlines this weekend. I have to say that I feel comfort in returning to my keyboard to write because the challenges I set for myself for creating new pieces drained all my energy. Returning to somethingContinue reading “Wielding Your Craft”
Art and Writing
Friday is finally here and the frenzy of photo shooting sculptures begins. Participating in shows and events of all kinds are always more work than expected. Prepping of inventory lists, pricing, sales, tools, with business cards and bios for those who stop by to admire your work all have to make their own appearance. ArtistsContinue reading “Art and Writing”
Artistic Turmoil
The weekend is approaching and I’m feeling the pressure of deadlines. I finished some promised pieces last weekend but this new piece promise is causing artistic turmoil. Let’s just say my paint brush isn’t flowing as easily as my writing pen. I’m officially feeling a new kind of “artist block”, and I’ve been here beforeContinue reading “Artistic Turmoil”
Driving 101 For Writers
I’m no longer a melting popsicle in the State of Minnesota this week as we dipped back down into a cool breeze. Opening windows while driving my tin can on wheels doesn’t threaten to cause heat stroke. Instead, the light air brings in a sense of relief over my skin as I drive down theContinue reading “Driving 101 For Writers”
Finding Your Prompt
When you’re having writer’s block or under a deadline, do you have encouraging phrases to help get yourself started? I had to laugh at myself before I sat down to write because one of my phrases is, “Let it fly.” I’ve heard this from other speakers, or similar wording by other entrepreneurs in their bookContinue reading “Finding Your Prompt”
Trusting Your Talent
My body and mind are still recovering this morning from my walk into a fantasy world this weekend filled with dragons and fairy houses as I get ready for my featured artist spot in July and August. Newspapers littered the floor as I set out my sculpting tools and trimmed my nails so that IContinue reading “Trusting Your Talent”
