Things I Make for Me

As a multimedia artist, my hands stay busy creating for others. I spend a large part of my time making things I  designed for other people to enjoy. But if you think none of the things I create for sale are inspired by things I made for me...

Night at the Museum

 Paaaarty!! Okay, not exactly. But it's the spooky month of October, and yesterday was my birthday. One of the things I did to celebrate was to pay a visit to a favorite *ahem* haunt of mine in Atlanta. 

Nosy Neighbor

 It's me. I'm the nosy neighbor. Ever since I spotted this doorway, I've had my little telescope (and now my phone camera) poised to capture possible movement. 

Timeless Telephony

 It is Saturday night, and I am happily holed up in my studio catching up on some things that went off the rails as I spent much of this week focused on customer orders and other priorities.

Sew Many Moments

 Recently, I had the opportunity to plant a seed and pay forward something that was given to me many years ago. I had an idea to pass on some knowledge my grandmothers shared with me when I was a child.

Things I Make for Me: Hard Reset

* This post was originally written on the previous Tuesday, 8/19/2025. 

Today was a routine series of events. Actually, no. It was not. Because some days I'm highly effective, moving through my to-do list like a juggernaut, blasting things off of my plate.

That's not quite how things went this day.

Tuesday Things I Make for Me

 Today's (short) post is here simply to clear up and clarify a question you may have had for me or other artists you may have encountered.

Weird Wednesday

I've had my eye on it for months. Today it just fell off!
