This weekend it’s time for another road trip with my husband as we pack up our vehicle for our last summer arts and crafts event. We decided to spurge on a hotel for one night because of the long drive back home. This time I let him book our stay because he doesn’t trust meContinue reading “Road Trip”

Lazy Sundays
The buzz of people seeking a good meal is all around me as they enjoy the freedom of Sunday. Just one more day to relax, shop, and not cook at home. Spending time enjoying what you like is my idea of a lazy Sunday. As an artist and writer, I’m spending today volunteering at TheContinue reading “Lazy Sundays”
End of Summer
My notebook is covered in dust from going to different outdoor events. This summer is all about art and craft festivals and my 3 week run is finally over. I went out to celebrate at my favorite pastry place before the fall season begins. Being around other creative people doing the same thing has beenContinue reading “End of Summer”
Writing Bandwagon
Anyone hear that sound? It’s me and the crickets are getting too loud. Before I fall off the writing bandwagon I thought I would make a post. The summer sizzle can take a lot out of someone who thinks napping is a hobby.The fact that most of the days of the week are spent creatingContinue reading “Writing Bandwagon”
Wide Awake
The clock struck 2:00 am and my eyes opened wide. I knew the familiar feeling. I went to bed too early and my body doesn‘t like to stay asleep. Instead of tossing and turning, or trying to wake my husband up I decided to let him sleep and go do something with my time. WhatContinue reading “Wide Awake”
Summer Melt
These past few days felt like I was going slide onto the sidewalk into a pool of sweat in Minnesota. The 90 degree weather made it hard to breathe with the poor air quality and I hid inside. Too bad the melting didn’t stop. For the past few days I’ve also been creating some newContinue reading “Summer Melt”
Hazy Days
I was driving around yesterday to get some errands done and I felt like I was living in Los Angeles. The drift of smoke from Canada came down our way and I finally know what it’s like to live with big city smog. The lighter haze earlier in the week did have me wondering ifContinue reading “Hazy Days”
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”
Back to the Pen
My fingers were itching because I missed some time at my keyboard last week. Part of me sent off a warning to keep up my regular schedule of writing. Having writer’s block in the past haunts me, and that might be a good thing because it helps me sit down in the chair to writeContinue reading “Back to the Pen”
Making the Switch
After spending the weekend with my parents out in the country, it’s been hard to get back into work mode again. Being able to hear the birds chirp without fire trucks going by, or watch a hungry raccoon trying to raid my parent’s bird feeder brought a sense of tranquility that I can’t get inContinue reading “Making the Switch”
Summer Mode
The beginning of my summer is kicking off with a visit to mom and dad for quiet time out in the northern country. Staying out in a place where the city lights are glaring behind curtains and fire trucks are racing down the street go quiet. The first night out of the city feels oddContinue reading “Summer Mode”
Work In Progress
A new week has begun and I’m on break from my show circuit for a few weeks. Having back to back shows was a new challenge for me, especially because I have a handmade business. Growing a business that relies on you to finish multiple novels or art pieces is a constant learning experience. BeingContinue reading “Work In Progress”
