Expectations

Well, I think it’s safe to say that my first week as a self-employed (or soon-to-be-self-employed-but-currently-only-getting-my-crap-together-and-trying-to-assemble-a-routine) artist-type person has not gone precisely as I anticipated. I think it’s largely due to the enormous walking boot that has taken up residence … #LINK#

So, this past weekend, I spent a lot of time (too much time) dealing with this: Yeah. Again. Just for the record, I think hackers need to be strung up, or forced to clean my kitchen floor with their tongues, … #LINK#

The last few weeks have felt a little frenetic – the run-up to actually tendering my resignation was more stressful than I anticipated. I’d decided to wait until after Holy Week to notify the church, since I didn’t want anything … #LINK#

Posted in Beyond Layers In the Studio Thinking About

I’ve been thinking a lot about my folks these days. My mother died very young, and I have now been married longer than she had been married to my father at the time of her death. As I get older, … #LINK#

I finally got my camera back from the repair shop a few weeks ago, but have had very little time to play with it. Today was overcast and I was actually at home at 2:00, when the light coming in … #LINK#

I’ve had a tough time shaking this bronchitis. I’m three rounds of antibiotics in and finally hopeful that I’m coming out the other side of it – but I spent the whole weekend in the house, nesting and giving myself … #LINK#
