Home again…

How else to explain why I haven’t posted in over a month? Life has kept me too busy to write about it! Utterly thrilled to have more than 24 hours off, and also that I will possibly be able to elaborate on that subject within that 24 hours! I came home to my email this [...]


The bettering.

We watched our friend H finish a 10 km race this morning. It was beyond inspiring, for so many reasons, not just because he had just ‘up and decided’ to run this not too long ago, and only started training in January or February, though that was kind of tied into the kicker for me. [...]


We must move forwards, not backwards, upwards, not forwards, and forever twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom…

The title of this post says it all, and Kang and Kodos said it best. I maintain that I am twirling towards freedom…like a toy top on crack. Freedom might simply be the edge of the table that the top spins off of… Where the hell has April gone? Where the HELL!? I have missed [...]


April Foolery…

Ok, I know that it’s after midnight, so really, April Fools is long over, but there was a lot of foolin’ going on today, so I feel the need to post some silliness to mark it’s occasion. 1.) I go down to my car this morning, and lo and behold, the exhaust pipe is about [...]


So much happy…

I have landed a sweet new job. I have landed an appearance in another treasury. I have landed the 60th item to my Esty shop. Life is very good.


Sweet, sweet, Treasury love!

Woot…I’m in another one! And it’s a beaut…dig the sweet sunshiny treasury compiled by the lovely LisaHolley, a fellow member of the Starving Artists Etsy Team!  


About as alive as Marie Antoinette…

This evening, as I’m deeply researching alternative ways to promote my sweet little Antoinette to the world (I like to think that perhaps my jewelry could contribute to world peace…or the abolishment of universal unfairness…but of course, these are lofty aspirations, I’d settle for ‘Antoinette Designs: Global Bringer of the Pretty!’) Mike and I hear [...]


Notes from the *other* job

I’m writing this post from my perch at cash…very surepticiously I might add. God, I love my iPod. It’s been a bit of a hard week. The financial reality of working a day less a week at the ‘other’ job has shown itself, and I think this added stress has caused me some physiological stress [...]


Holy crowly!

Ok, so I’m on my way to bed, and I decide to check my Etsy show once more, tuck it in for the night (really, it’s an addiction, and I needed one last hit!) and decided to head over to www.craftopolis.com to see my Treasury West listing all officially listed…like I said, it’s an addiction! [...]


Yays and Boos

Yay: I’m in a treasury! Hooray! My first ever! My Sweete Poole pendant was chosen for a “Spring Break” themed Treasury West! That was a pretty sweet thing to wake up to! Yay: I finally got to fire a full kiln load of new work that will hopefully get uploaded this week…and finally finished Mike’s [...]
