The Social Network
(2)
So, yesterday while I was working and perusing Facebook for status updates from all my friends, I started thinking about what I was seeing on the screen in front of me. There were news stories about Wisconsin, the Republicans and their push to cut funding from things like public broadcasting and reproductive health services for … [View Details]
Frozen

Well, the thermometer on the back porch is telling me that it’s 47 degrees, I can see the snow melting before my eyes, and it was raining when Opa came for Colden this morning. But the rain is giving everything a damp chill, so I’ve got a fire going in the wood stove while I … [View Details]
What Kind of Artist Are You?
(0)
After working through Julia Cameron’s “The Artist’s Way”, I’m convinced that everyone has the ability to express themselves creatively, whether it’s through music, poetry, literature, sculpture, crafts or dance. It took me a long time to be comfortable with the idea of calling myself an artist. I grew up, thankfully, in a place where my … [View Details]
Dream Analysis?

So, I’ve always known that I have weird dreams. I don’t know if it’s true or not, but I’ve read that only a small minority of people actually dream in color. My dreams, however, have always been in vivid colors. Colors that I can remember long after I wake up, even if I have a … [View Details]

I’ve given myself a self-imposed deadline of February 19 to have this project FINISHED and ready to go! What is it, you might ask? Well, it’s the first volume (of three) of a series of eBooks that I’m writing about making beaded amulet jewelry using handmade components. And yes, that is really what my work … [View Details]
A “Real” Woman

There was a quote circulating amongst my friends on Facebook this morning from some stupid fashion designer about how he uses size 4 and 6 models because he wants to use “real” women. “Real” women?! The whole thing made me think about the problem we have with body image in this country, and prompted me … [View Details]
Mush

I’ve been trying to think of a funny or interesting blog post for today, and right now, the only thing that I can think is that my brain has turned to mush. Tom has been working like crazy these last few days with all the snow we’ve had. I can’t do any snow removal during … [View Details]
More Snow?! Seriously?

Not like you’d know it to look out the window this morning, but we’re expecting another 5 inches of snow tonight, on top of the 28 inches that we received between Tuesday and Wednesday! I found it hard to believe when I heard the weather forecast this morning. Right now, the sky is bright blue … [View Details]

So, the first thing I wanted to mention in my blog today is that the eBay auctions for Lots 3 and 4 from Round 1 of The Best Little Bead Box are live as of last night! These two lots are seriously yummy – lots of handmade and one-of-a-kind beads and components in them, some … [View Details]
What I Wanted To Say…

I know there are things that I wanted to say on my blog today, but the sleep deprivation is getting so bad that this morning, my eyes are swollen and puffy, I have a headache, and I’m dizzy. Last night, Colden woke up at 11:30, 1:30, 2:30 and 4:00. Each time required me getting out … [View Details]
