I believe the creative process is a powerful tool to fight anxiety and self-discovery is inherent within the process. By showing my work and process, my hope is for people to be encouraged to open their own hearts to an understanding and devotion of their own creativity that is more intentional.

So I have this not good thing about sewing. We all have our things. And sewing is one of mine. Sewing and I used to be like this. But then several factors helped to make it a thing. #1 – My husband got me a new machine at some point which was a nice thing…
As the week comes to a skidding halt, I wanted to catch you up on all the wonderful creative endeavors which have passed and some yet to come. On November 3rd, I wrote myself a permission slip to create. I Instagrammed my crappy cell phone picture. The permission slip reads: “I hereby give myself permission…
Some months, that gratitude basket is empty and some, my basket is overflowing. Maybe some of my thankfulness is relief from getting through my October’s gauntlet of events alive. But the gratefulness keeps rolling in. Grief comes too but it’s easier to handle when your heart’s got spare mirth. In honor of all my recent…
As I mentioned, October was kinda rough. And it was as if I came out of it and into November with new glasses on. And a renewed hope and gratitude for my life. I love this time of the year. The smell of wood smoke and the colors outside deepening and darkening. The weather makes…

The first event of my super crazy Mid-October weekend was the fundraiser at the UU Fellowship in Easton. This was the annual fundraiser and this talent review show was to be a jazz club themed event. I came up with the color scheme pretty quickly. Red, plum, soft gold, black, and white. But then took…
This is the exact post that I ran a year ago to the day when I was doing 31 days straight of posts the first time. I like these weird pictures that much still. From another computer perusal, this from Pinterest, I fell across this page called Living in Fantasyland. Pinterest is a place where…
My last event of this crazy past weekend was on Monday night October 20th in Washington, DC. An author talk and book signing on Craft Activism at the Smithsonian’s American Art Museum in the heart of DC next to Chinatown. I was dreading the long trip via car and subway. But I kept reminding myself…
So busy these pasts couple days working to actually feel like I’m making progress. Going to do this and finding I still have to take care of that. I cleaned up the craft room so that I could start another project only to find the un-ironed clothing from months ago sitting there with cat hair…
