I hung my paintings at the Beehive Hair Lounge this morning and have to admit I was tickled to see so many of them hung together. Well, not together exactly...more scattered around the salon, but up! On the walls! Yay! I'm participating in The Drift this weekend, which means that artists & businesses are teaming… Continue reading The Drift
Ahhhhh! That's me breathing a long sigh of relief now that last weekend's markets are behind me. I had a fabulous time both at I Heart Crafts on Saturday & then Portobello West on Sunday, but that's a lot of goody hauling back & forth in 2 days! My mister had to work, so I… Continue reading To Market
I had the strangest day yesterday & it fit in quite nicely with the book I currently have checked out of the library: Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There. It started with finding a snail in the middle of my backyard, his shell shattered on the concrete path. I'm guessing a sea gull… Continue reading Of Snails and Skunks
One of my favorite things that happened this summer was discovering Buntzen Lake, about 30 minutes outside Vancouver. It's a beautiful lake surrounded by mountains, but is (surprisingly) not that cold. Definitely a lot warmer than the ocean & much warmer than a lot of the Alberta lakes I attempted to not only swim but… Continue reading Summer Recap: Buntzen Lake

The Vancouver Fringe Festival is on right now & so far I've seen two plays - a dark 18A rated one (with nudity!) & a funny one that we took the boy to see (training sheep for the Olympics? Hellz yeah!). I'm not much of a theater buff, but I do love the indie DIY-style… Continue reading Fringe Festivities
Have You Heard? mixed media, 8" x 8" With all of my moving & houseguest busyness, I haven't had a chance to blog about the fun places my art is showing up. Exhibit A: the Twitter 140 art show at Grandon Gallery in Flagstaff, Arizona. The pic above is my finished painting, drying on my… Continue reading Twitter Art Show
Will you just look at the size of that thing? Craziness! And one of the things I love about my new neighborhood. I was taking out the garbage this weekend & my new neighbor, an old school Italian retiree, introduced himself. We had a little chat about our respective yards & I walked back into… Continue reading Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
I woke up this morning, made coffee & then got to sit down & check my email & read blogs. Heaven! It's so nice to get back to my usual routine after weeks of moving. If/when I have to move again, I'll definitely hire movers & do it in one big shot instead of the… Continue reading Ahhhhhhhhh!
The move is going at a glacial pace, but before I make yet another trip to the old house (measuring tape in hand), I wanted to drop in to say that I'm alive! I've actually been having a fabulous time since my girlfriend, Paula, had planned a trip out to visit us long before we… Continue reading Boxes Boxes Everywhere
