We’re trying New Things
I started the little nest SEVERAL years ago. It was a true leap of faith that came from a place of desperation. I was miserable in a regular 9-5 job in an industry that didn’t really respect women to allow many opportunities for growth. I had no money saved up. ...
Ande’s Saga
Many of you may remember that our sweet pup, Ande, tore a ligament in his knee back in 2018. He had a successful surgery to repair it. But the Vet did warn us that it is not uncommon for the ligament in the other knee to tear as well. We’re sad to say that day has...
TRL Total Request Lyrics
It’s probably pretty evident by now that I’m a TV junkie, but I also LOVE music. I’m especially a fan of 80’s and disco. Music is so incredibly powerful. Music can transport us to another time. It can remind us of someone from our past. And it can even evoke...

I’m sad. How are you?
We’re approaching the one year anniversary of when our world literally turned upside down. I’ll be honest, I’m sad. How are you doing? Many folks are doing just fine I think it’s important to acknowledge that many people are doing just fine. Some of...

Peddling in a Pandemic
This post is mostly for those people that are considering doing arts and craft events this Winter/Spring, but are worried about the pandemic. I slept in my van for out of town shows. This is a crude shot of my van one night at an out of town show. It’s really hard to...
