A Year of Silence (and broken websites)
I didn’t think I would be spending a year trying to fix a website, and yet, here we are. Settle in; this is a long one. At the beginning of 2023, I was still hip-deep in unpacking from my move. Honestly, I was overwhelmed, and while I tried to enter the Portland/Vancouver scene, I found…

Sigh… Art, Writing, Screwing Up Blog Posts
Needing to create has brought me here. I’m arting fairly often. At least 2 – 3 projects a week. Practice in between. My writing is still stalled. Kinda. Kinda. I’m working on getting my world into World Anvil. And I’m trying to organize my thoughts. It’s hard. My thoughts have scattered like so many pieces…

Accidents & Trees – Bob Ross Painting
In my effort to clean up old things, I have all this craft paint which I’m not using that fast for mini painting. I decided this year to get rid of it… by using it up. What better way than following Bob Rose videos. I’m up to ep 8 in season 1. It hasn’t been…

Mainly because my base pots (empty pots I keep frequently used colors in) didn’t have room for green. So I got an empty…

Of Goals and Other Squiggly Things
Other than having strep I’ve been working on web pages. I have a large update ready for the Pulp website…but they’re changing the document now…so it’s best if I just wait. I need to get that new porfolio up and working too. WH is coming along. I’m finishing up the last chapter. I’ve started a…

Bored Now
So we painted the sister’s house (or at least the upstairs) on Saturday. The FNGSis’ new boyfriend. This is his blog nickname. It’s his fault, he complain we made him do the stairwell ceiling because he was the FNG, not because we’re short (which is the real reason). Otherwise I’d never thought of it and…
