I've been writing since I was in kindergarten where I Crayola-markered an epic tale of a tiger and a balloon on a stack of lined papers folded into a booklet and stapled along the edge (carefully, and by my teacher). I love DIY, sewing, folksy music, animals and getting out to look at and listen to nature.

IT’S SPRINGTIME!

  By ,

Do yourself a favour and watch the video for Home – Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros.  Very fun. I am not a talker lately.  I’m not a thinker either, so don’t mistake my silence for introspection.  It’s nice out finally and I am enjoying it.  I have bought non-special occasional dresses for the first time in probably ever.  I am after 28 years ready to maybe be a girl, possibly.  Did you know these things don’t have leg-holes?  I’m very much not ladylike when … Continue reading

Hey North Carolina

  By

This made me upset.  I’m trying to elaborate but I have no few words.  To anyone who has ever had the nerve to think it is OK to control the lives of millions of people they’ve never even met, you need to let people do what they want.  They’re not hurting anyone being in love, so tolerate in the 21st Century already.

We’ll see.  This Saturday, May 5, watch out for a big bright moon as it is at its closest point to the earth.  I love it, so you should too.  Supermoon! Share the post “Yay! Distraction! Supermoon for President!” FacebookXShare… Continue reading

Moose Painting I

  By

Here’s my first moose painting.  I was originally going for moose silhouette and disjointed jack pine.  The jack pine became a bit less disjointed and more like a normal tree, and I decided to shade the moose.  Hm.  Not sure on it. Halfway through I took a picture and I actually like the halfway-through concept a lot better than the finished product.  A moose against a map, instead of a moose and a jack pine. Well, we all need practice first.  It was a fun … Continue reading

Freedom for a Day

  By

I woke up today to the sound of Big Fluffy Orange (a giant teddy bear looking cat I just named this minute) and another cat making kittens in a yard nearby.  It actually sounded like a person’s impersonation of annoying cat meows until I realized it wasn’t stopping.  Shudder. You ever have one of those most beautiful days off because surely shit  is going down at work and you don’t have to face it?  I’m there.  Why?  Well, say you work for a boot factory, … Continue reading
