Have I mentioned I’m ADHD?

There wasn’t a diagnosis for ADHD when I was a kid, or I’m sure I would have at least been in the running. I’m literally unable to do the same project for any long period of time, so I start new ones (and don’t finish – thus my side bar

Way behind and in a funny writing mood.

Last week was odd – some bad, some good, but mostly just odd. We replaced a computer, which provided a weird cascading force throughout the house and business. Then we started a new – very part time – employee, which was a definite change. We spent the day trying to

The lace edit and a 6th Birthday

Inspirations for life

The last post may have been a hint, but I’ve been artistically blocked. I look at my pile of projects and say “BLECK”. I don’t want to touch anything or do anything. I’ve been frustrated by 90% of them…caught up in the technical when I want to express myself….whatever expressing

Darn that sock! Hem those pants and KIDS ARTWORK!

Productive day in the studio, but not much creativity to it! I’m sorting the kids artwork – about once a year I put up a new picture in their room that’s a montage of the art work they did the year before…ahem…it’s been 2 years! So, time to update! Meanwhile
