Saturday was long, long, long and did not feel very fun, fun, fun. Wee-One was a crazy, teething, sniffling, nay-saying toddler. (She still is today.) I would say that overall, I was a grumpy train-wreck like my daughter. However, I did actually manage to practice my metal cutting. I cut this cool guitar pick [...]
Don’t be dirty.
Right now I do crafty work all over my home. Computer work is done in my bedroom where I have my computer. Then everything else is done on our dining room table in our dining/living/music/kitchen/foyer room. I have an odd little closet that holds all my art supplies that I haven’t [...]
I finished up my potential cast members of D. and Kristian’s animated short. I believe Kristian is back in town – I guess it is time for a casting call.

Must husband and his friend Kristian, are working on an animated short film featuring a papa and [...]
I am back from my great tour of the Northern Prairies. I flew to Grand Forks, ND, drove to Clearbrook, MN, then onto Winnipeg, Manitoba, and then back to Grand Forks.
The University of Grand Forks (UND) has features a tremendous amount of public art on it’s campus and Winnepeg covers it’s city in sculpture [...]
Whenever I meet my father for lunch, I walk past Lever House. Lever House, a recently renovated office building on Park Avenue houses a public exhibition space in it’s lobby and courtyard. Whoever acts as their curator does not shy away from works that can really smack you upside the head.
While I was pregnant [...]
