I have so much really really good stuff going on right now, but also just so. much. stuff. I feel like snuggling in between the pug and the white dog butt & hiding from everyone for a few days. I keep catching myself fantasizing about coming home to a quiet space with no clutter, no… Continue reading It’s Oh So Loud In Here
We've been having a heat wave in Vancouver for the last couple of weeks and I'm starting to miss my cool wet coast rain. Summers here are my kind of perfect - sunny, but rarely so hot that you feel there's nothing else to do but lay around inside, soaking up the air conditioning.

I'll… Continue reading Changing Horses

The cutest puppy evah is on his way! My sister is coming up to Vancouver for a couple of days to celebrate my nephew's birthday. I'm thrilled because we haven't been able to see them much lately & after our car window got smashed this week, our plans were foiled again. But they are on… Continue reading Look Out Pug!

What a crazy few days! Between getting ready for my group show next month, promoting the Etsy Twitter Team Sidewalk Sale and somehow ending up trying to organize a Canadian Etsy seller giveaway I've pretty much given up on sleeping. I worked for 20 hours straight yesterday, only breaking to dash out to see a… Continue reading Life in Progress
