Small Town Alien

The end of the week is here and I started binging on my next new sci-if series, Stranger Things. I’ve officially entered into a time warp of bad haircuts and brown and orange clothing. Feathered hair should stay in the past. The biggest events always happened in the smallest towns that no one ever heardContinue reading “Small Town Alien”

Minnesota Heat Waves

Heat waves and thunder is the normal rhythm of this summer. Instant sweat appears on our skin one day and thunder is never far behind. My parents used to say that someone is bowling in the sky during the storms and I always picture the lightening as a strike. I think there’s been a tournamentContinue reading “Minnesota Heat Waves”

Minnesota Summer

Summer in Minnesota means getting into your car and having your makeup begin to melt before the air conditioning didn’t cool off the inside. The humidity up here can make your skin prune without taking a bath. It’s like being in a sauna while your outside trying to enjoy the outdoors. We put up withContinue reading “Minnesota Summer”

Letting Go

It took me a couple of days to let go of my pen last week, and finally take a rest. Instead of cramming in other projects I binged on some young adult summer romance movies on NetFlix and relaxed. My only hobby over the weekend was napping and trying not to feel guilty about itContinue reading “Letting Go”

Colors of Character

Ideas are floating in my head and I’m trying to find an anchor for one of them to get a few projects completed in the next few weeks. I have the job of creating a simple logo but it’s not so simple. Taking a design and stripping it down to it’s core element has neverContinue reading “Colors of Character”

Work Life

The 4th of July ended with the sunshine instead of the early morning rumbles of thunder. The loud rolling woke me up early and I laid listening to the loud storm throw thunderbolts through the sky. I didn’t bother to look out the window. The whole weekend has been gray and drizzly. The sunset atContinue reading “Work Life”

July Is Here!

The first of the month is here and we’re moving into a long holiday weekend. Happy 4th of July early! The roads of Minnesota will be lined with those heading to cabins and weekend getaways hoping to soak in the sun. Whether or not our weather will cooperate up here is always a gamble. I’llContinue reading “July Is Here!”

Summer Blues

I made through the past few years with a few minor illnesses and avoided the big one despite having to go in for testing 4 and now my 5th time. This is the one time I’m crossing my fingers to be negative about something. Regardless, I’m under the weather and my post is a littleContinue reading “Summer Blues”

Mother Nature In Minnesota

I’m at my writing post again like clockwork and my eyeballs feel like they’ve been under a hairdryer for 8 hours. This weekend my biggest challenge was Minnesota weather and participating in an open flea market that had no wind barriers around a large open field. I set up my tent in the early morningContinue reading “Mother Nature In Minnesota”

Creative Challenges

The clock is ticking and I’m working through logistical problems and cranking out more hand pieces of miniatures for our first flea market experience. Anyone looking to get out of the house near Stillwater, Minnesota are welcome to come visit us from 9 to 3 pm this Saturday and Sunday. Hopefully, I won’t forget myContinue reading “Creative Challenges”

Late Nights

It’s normal to stay up until 3:00 in the morning to get ready for an event, right? My never ending show circuit is only beginning. My husband and I had our first spring event together in May. Everything wasn’t perfect but it was busy and that’s a good thing. It also happened to be onContinue reading “Late Nights”

Date Night

Did you have a steamy night at the keyboard last night during your writing prompt? I hope you did. If not, there’s time to set those pages on fire this weekend. Still not inspired? Then, take yourself or a significant other on a date. That’s what I’ll being doing. My husband and I are celebratingContinue reading “Date Night”
