I'm already a week into 2009 & not only have I not blogged or painted, I've hardly gotten out of bed. Me and the boys came down with a wicked flu bug while we were in Seattle celebrating New Year's Eve with my sister and her family. We've been walking around like snotty, coughing zombies… Continue reading 2009 Is Kicking My Ass

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! I'm so excited about all the things 2009 has in store for us & grateful for the amazing people I've met in 2008. A much lengthier blog post is needed on this, but we're in Seattle right now partying with my sister and two little nephews, so it'll have to wait! love… Continue reading Happy New Year!
Merry (belated) Christmas!
I'm finally back home after a rather harrowing Christmas pillgramage out to visit John's family in Alberta and I couldn't be happier. Over a week with no internet access? Brutal road conditions that resulted in an 18 hour drive home? Stuffing my face with every fatty, sugary concoction known to Christmas and washing it down… Continue reading Merry (belated) Christmas!
Decking the Halls
Since we're going away for Christmas this year, I didn't go all out with the decorations. Living in the kind of tiny dwellings that most Vancouverites occupy means we really don't have the space to put up a big tree or to store piles of boxes filled with decorations that only get used 1 month… Continue reading Decking the Halls
Winter Wonderland
It's snowing! It's snowing! This probably doesn't sound like exciting news in the middle of December, but in Vancouver a white Christmas is never a guarantee, so I'm happy we got to trade our usual rain for a dusting of the white stuff at least once before the holidays. Of course I had to snap… Continue reading Winter Wonderland
Painting Presents
We're driving to Alberta for the holidays this year to visit John's side of the family. It will be great to see everyone, especially his grandma, a good Ukrainian bobba who's probably cooking up a storm right now. I haven't seen her in close to 2 years, so we're definitely long overdue for a visit.… Continue reading Painting Presents

Bee Boy
Do I have the sweetest bee boy or what? I was so sick after (& during) Halloween that I completely forgot to upload my pics. I'm lucky to have a pug sweet enough to indulge his momma's desire to see him dressed in costumes. I don't do this regularly, but for one night a year… Continue reading Bee Boy
Everything’s Amazing
John and I got to see Louis CK's stand-up show at one of Vancouver's oldest theatres, the Vogue, on Friday night. The show was fantastic; he was as funny, edgy & off-color as ever, the crowd was great and he even came back out to do an encore that reinforced what I love about his… Continue reading Everything’s Amazing
Zooooommmm!
Phew! I had an insanely busy, but productive few days completing 3 new paintings, starting on a few other ones and testing out a new process. I usually work on one painting at a time, start to finish. This week I tried sketching out some ideas, picking 3 I wanted to work on and then… Continue reading Zooooommmm!
