Crabby, revised.
Using some photos I took at the Oregon coast last year, this girl ended up expressing her crabbier self. {Although her face doesn't look grumpy, so maybe the mood was just passing…} The detail in the middle of her dress… and her arms, come from these images: Oh, and speaking of crabby women ~ Mother

Chit-Chat at the Golden West
Last night I was lucky enough to get together with Jane & her husband Thomas. It was so good to see Jane again after our Art Nest experience! They took me to the Golden West Cafe {above} in the Hampden area of Baltimore. Wonderful food – I had a burger topped with Granny Smith apple

St. Patty’s in Charm City
We went out and explored the surrounding neighborhoods on foot this evening. So fun! I loved all the little rows of brick houses & we found this festive display {above} in someone's window. If I knew how to upload a video, I'd show you the bagpipe serenade we were treated to during dinner at the

Greetings from ArtNest!

Every branch of every tree, all the phone & electric lines, the light posts, mailboxes – pretty much every thing standing still – is covered with tiny

Welcome 2009!
What fortune would you like to see for yourself? Wisdom? Wealth? Happiness? Security? I'm still working on my list for the coming year. Not a list of resolutions really, but a list of things I'd like to do and experience. Like learn to knit a scarf, or go camping…things like that. Topping my list though

Utah in February?
With as much snow as we've got here, you might think I'd want to head somewhere warm, right? But in February I turn 40 years old and I want to do something really special. I had a BIG {Europe} trip planned, but it didn't quite come together. Now I’m looking for something more medium sized

Pola-droid
Check this out – a way to make new fangled Polaroids, or "Poladroids". It's a simple little stand-alone program for Macs. You just drag and drop your photo onto the little camera…wait for it to pop out…then grab the white part and Shake, Shake, Shake! Ok, you don't really have to do that last step,
