  • Self Care

    Ok, it might be a stretch to call getting a henna tattoo at the state fair "self care".  :)  But it was something I'd always wanted to do and it felt like a bit of an extravagance and a treat.  I loved the look so much that I was sad when it started fading, so

    Last weekend was the first sunny weather we've had in quite awhile, which worked out perfectly for an end-of-summer party for the little girl who's on her way to my friends.  Their last name starts with Z and her first name will be a Z name too.  :)  I had fun making the 3 tiered

  • Takin’ a Break

    I have a few paintings and other projects on my work table, but I think I'm going to take a bit of a blog break now until the first week in March.  By then I'll be back from Art Nest and will have a couple weeks to settle back in & share that experience with
