The year is coming to an end and I finally have the breather I’ve been waiting on. In the quiet aftermath of the holidays, I’m taking up the pages again. Ringing in the new year will be filled with turning pages, typing, writing research, and audio books. I would rather have words spilling out ofContinue reading “Writing in the New Year”

The Next Read…
My ears must have been starved because I’m on a binge of words. The Lost Bookshop, by Evie Woods is going into my best reads shelf. A little bit of magic, love, loss, and characters that stand on the pages. What book lover wouldn’t want to become the custodian of a magical bookshop that needsContinue reading “The Next Read…”
Getting Lost
These past few weeks I’ve found myself caught up in the frenzy of creating and getting lost. I’ve been lost in my imagination as I let my hands form new creations in miniature, and I’ve been lost in words. Ever since I wandered deep into the winding alleys of art, I felt the tether toContinue reading “Getting Lost”
Minnesota Summer
The temperatures have been in the upper 80’s to the lower 90’s for the past week and I feel like I moved south for the summer. The winds might not smell like salt but a sheen of sweat still covers my skin if I’m outside moving around for more than 5 minutes. Hot and humidContinue reading “Minnesota Summer”

Friday is Day #8 – Watch
Last night meant late hours because my art muse decided to stay awake and create a miniature cauldron of green, glittery goo. I was supposed to be working on my next day of InkTober but my hands itched to make something in 3D. No matter the medium, at least these chilly months inspire creation. SubtitlesContinue reading “Friday is Day #8 – Watch”
My Miniature World
All the creating for this past weekend’s outdoor event has increased my appetite for all things Halloween. My miniature world turned to holiday set building. Thank you to all those who stopped by my table. What they didn’t see was a very late night packing up pieces, and a pile of those I couldn’t bringContinue reading “My Miniature World”

Grade School Ideas for Adults
Midnight passed last night and my mind decided to wake up again. I wandered down the hallway in the dark thinking about my next show.

The next thing I knew, YouTubeContinue reading “Grade School Ideas for Adults”
