I’m excited because this will be my first fiction novel. Feel free to add me as a writing [...]
This old building on 4th street downtown Cleveland triggered a story in me. I never know what’s going to inspire me…
It’s done! It’s official. I had the final hearing on my name change this past week. I had to give a little speech on why I wanted to change it, including the significance of each name. I changed my middle name and my last name. It was kind of annoying because the magistrate was all, [...]
I finished the Artist’s Way, now working on the sequel book Walking in This World.
I finally got a gently used computer for my upstairs office/writing/sewing room See more progress on: buy a used desktop for my writing room
Today I made a flower pot out of another old plastic container. Punched holes in the bottom with a knife, then filled it with my new fern. Fitting end to February Thing-A-Day and welcome to Spring!
Today I made another curtain for my bathroom, this time for the other window. It started out as a skirt LOL.
Today I made a head wrap tube thingy for my dreads. It came out ok. It ties in the back. I think the next one will be a little longer, cover more of my locks. dreadmama.net
Today I made a curtain for the small window in the bathroom. It’s inspired by the reconstructed jacket I made a while back:
Today I made a new scarf.. Spring is less than a month away but really, here in northeast Ohio spring is more like 2 months away. So the scarf is much needed and handy. I LOVE the fabric, it’s so soft and fluffy!
Today I made some lotion. Had a hard time with the final mix, I think I used too much olive oil. eh, it’s winter still, can’t have too much olive oil!
Today I made a kitchen drawer cosy to cover the ugly gap when the ancient drawer fell apart. trula.org
Today I made a new apron. I love aprons and use them daily.
Today I made a new cover for the 3rd issue of my zine, Positive Emergence pezine.com
Today I made pencil fuzzies, I love having a bit of soft fabric on my pencils when working on calculus problems. somehow makes it easier ^_^
Today I made a hand muff. One of my sons took over the blue mittens I made, so I made sure to use a girly color for this!! ha ha
Today I made invitations for our spring party next month. here is the cover
Decided to keep the color in my logo, just deepened the colors. updating on the site(s) soonish. mspmedia.net
Today I made a new bag from several different clothing items I upcycled. The green bottom of the bag is a handmade hat I got a few years ago, I wore it for a couple of winters but needed a change this winter. The two upper parts of the bag are from 2 different pairs [...]
Today I made a gift bag/gift box for one of the presents I got for my husband. It’s a nice bottle of vodka brianandtrula.org
Today I made a love book for my husband. I got a little book to put love notes in and stuff for Brian for Valentine’s Day, and put a fluffy heart on the cover. brianandtrula.com
Today I made a sack to put my sewing scraps in out of an old pillow case.
One of my cashmere sweaters was getting raggedy at the sleeve elbows, to the point where patching it up would be noticeable. Normally I wouldn’t care but I decided to cut up the sweater and use the fabric for various things including a pair of cashmere socks. I’ve been wanting a pair for a while!
Today I made a new bottom for my denim kitchen sink skirt.
Today I made another pair of earrings. I wanted them to look like tiny earmuffs. I used the same material that I used for my mittens.
Today I made another seed packet, this time for my corn seeds. Thinking about selling seeds on earthystyle.com and my etsy as I have an abundance of seeds. I can’t possibly plant them all this year. trula.org
Today I made a seed packet for my bell pepper seeds out of newspaper and tape. The seeds are very dry; I set this husk aside a couple of months ago.
I made another pair of earrings and I like these so much better than the 1st set I made on the 3rd. These were a pair of silver mermaid earrings I liked…added red buttons to them to make them pop. Learned my lesson about using too much glue so just used a smidgen this time. [...]
Today I made a skirt out the bottom of a denim sundress that was too short, and the top of a pair of fleece pants.

Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand-and melting like a snowflake.
~Marie Beyon RayLife is a big canvas, throw all the paint on it you can
~Danny KayeTwenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the things you did do. Throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
~Mark TwainFollow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls.
~Joseph CampbellI'm sick of chasing my dreams man, I'm just gonna ask them where they're going and hook up with them later.
