Shoot, just the other day when I initially posted these photos, there was also a description to go with it.  I didn’t even notice that that part got lost in space until my mom (faithful reader) pointed it out.
Well, to spare rewriting the whole darn thing, I’ll give you a nutshell version.  The photos [...]

Someone totally ripped off my website!

You know I love my google analytics, I’ve told you a thousand times.  Browsing the referring sites of the past week I came about Geninne’s Art Blog and her clever use of paint chips for original art.  Aren’t those little scenes as cute as can be?  But I digress…let me tell you about the thief!

This past Saturday, while looking for something interesting and different to do,  Dino and I toured Kykuit Estate in Sleepy Hollow, New York.  As we started the drive the heavy clouds started rolling in and by the time we arrived we were in the midst of a relentless, soaking rain.  Lucky for us, just as [...]

Do you know Bridgett from Perideau Designs?  I’m delighted to be featured in her Modern Monday series today.  Each week she interviews a crafty entrepreneur–I love how she asks questions that really get to know the artist and her personality, besides just the inner workings of the business.
Thanks for the feature Bridgett!

Have you heard about this event?  It sounds fantastic!  A long time ago I somehow accidentally added a bunch of sites to the “most visited” toolbar at the top of my firefox page.  One of them was the blog Beach Bungalow 8 which has become a favorite regular read.  That’s where I read about Blog [...]

Sorry about the sour mood from yesterday.  I’m not quite over it, but I realize I’m not supposed to get so personal on this here l’il blog of mine, so let’s forget I ever mentioned it, shall we?

Well, it appears that I’ve been [...]
