Moving day

O, DEAR READER – I’m moving all my blog content over here as of today. This site is just going to be…I’m not sure yet. I guess a kind of writing portfolio? I’ll have to mess around with it and see. It didn’t feel right for the bloggity bloggings anymore and seems to make more [...]

Bird’s Nest

I know I’m supposed to be focussing on making a million of a smaller number of things for the approaching City of Craft, but I started messing with some of the feathers I had laying around and I really like these necklaces, particularly the circular bird’s nest ones.

All this week I’ll [...]

Home from the hunt

Testing my metal

FINALLY. My necklace, featuring one of the many Crown Land logos Mike made for me, is finished.

The quality of these two pictures is off the charts awful because it was dark and I couldn’t stop my phone from using the flash. But the [...]

I versus my (man)

Happy day after Halloween. What did you go as? Sean and I went with these on…

In other news, it’s November. Are you always kicking yourself about not writing what you want to write? Sign up for NaNoWriMo. I did it once a couple years ago. [...]

New E-Digs

Oh hi! I don’t have much to show today except this. BAM. Sean gets the pat on the back for it – taking what was in my head and making it real on the Interwebs.

Now…should I migrate this blog over there? I’m feeling the need for some clean, white space in my day [...]
