#1823 Hello, Painting My Old Friend

One would think that with me having a full-time business as a designer, that the majority of my day would be painting, drawing, and cutting new designs on the scroll saw, wouldn’t they?  But lately, it seems that the ‘business’ aspects of our business fill much of the day, and sometimes there is little time…

#1822 My Shop (A tour!)

I had a crazy/busy weekend (again!)   I had hoped to have some time to paint, but it just wasn’t in the cards for me yet. That doesn’t mean that I didn’t have a productive couple of days. It was quite the opposite. Many of you who have followed me regularly here on the blog…

#1817 Habits

As we begin a new month, I realize how quickly January has slipped by. Time has always seemed so relentless to me, but lately, I find that to be true more than ever. Many of you have noticed that I haven’t been writing as regularly or as often as I used to. After over six…
