Studio Reset

June 23, 2024

Good morning! Yesterday I had Hubby Help me do a bit of a rearrangement of furniture in my studio. this has been on my mind for a couple of months. I wanted more natural light on my work and to get my computer out of the big window. Mission accomplished! A few minor things need to happen, like touching up the edge of my big table that was against the wall and never painted white. The result brought in so much more natural light, made my large table more accessible for larger projects, and created a fresh space I'll enjoy working in. I was able to stash my sewing machine table under my large table and move some shelving under one end of the table and will now be able to cut fabric without setting up a small space in the hallway. Moving the shelving under the table opened up a new space for watercoloring as well. In the photo above you can see my large window, before the work of rearranging the space it was partially covered by my large comp...

Reinventing Myself to Come Back to Myself

June 11, 2024

Just how many times have I reinvented myself? It's hard to say. I've changed career paths a half dozen times in my life. I've moved states three times, getting ready for a fourth in a couple of years. I've written four different blogs, counting this one. I've dabbled in a handmade card business. Attempted a marketing business under the ideas of others' influence. I abandon things when I lose interest or get bored. Yet here I sit at the crossroads of reinvention and coming back to something I used to love. I wrote recently about Sharing Without Social Sharing Without Social . About kicking Insta to the curb and being unsure of making a home on Substack. The truth of the matter is that I really need to come back to writing and sharing for the sake of my own enjoyment, not because it's the latest place to share or an algorithm tells me this is what gets the clicks. Doing it because I enjoy having a record of what I've ...

Societal Failure

January 10, 2017

Are you a societal failure? WOW! Did I just opened a big can of worms, didn't I? Yep. Get your coffee and let's talk about this. I'm a societal failure! I don't fit the mold on so many levels. What's more, I'm proud of it! How have I failed in the eyes of society? I don't have a degree, I got married later, I don't have kids and I'm an artist. Let's start with NO COLLEGE DEGREE. That's right, I don't have a degree. What's more, I don't want one. Now, let's put things on the table right now. I'm not against college. I work with college-bound students five days a week. However, college isn't for everyone and it shouldn't be forced on anyone, let alone someone who is still trying to figure out what they're interests are. We start asking children what they want to be when they grow up once they're old enough to talk. They tout things that don't always fit in the box society has built...
