Fun Stuff
A couple of weeks ago I treated myself to a staycation. It was so nice to just relax and check out places close to home. One of the things I made sure to do was explore more coffee shops. I started out over at Slate Coffee in my neighborhood of Ballard where I enjoyed a […]
This time of year changes feel even more intense as colors literally start exploding out of nothingness around us. It really makes me stop to appreciate the simple things and the beauty in everything. I’m also finding it’s a time for things to be refocused and tended for. Even if they’re taking time, my […]
It’s funny how with time, you learn so many more interesting things about yourself. For instance, I really really like time on my own and I freaking hate being over-scheduled. But when things are more spontaneous and the mood strikes I apparently like to do lots and lots of things. I had a jammed packed […]

It’s called 28 to Make! 28 days of simple creative exercises that take 20 min or less and really spark your imagination. I’ve had so much fun with this and even snagged some new tools (ink & […]
I had my passport before I had even turned 1. Before I was eighteen I had moved 5 times. Since then, it has been a move almost every single year. That’s a lot of packing tape and trips to Home Depot. For all intents and purposes, I am a modern nomad, endlessly searching for a […]
It’s funny, the new year always brings freshness but here in the NW it brings more and more grey. We’re a long ways from Spring and warmer days.
