I have been busy this week doing my own brand of haphazard screen printing. Remember when I blogged about imperfection being my thing? No? Then read here and understand what I’m all about. I’m a trained screen printer, I have a degree in Textile Design, but a very unprofessional set up aka my dining room, my …
I’m not even sure what to write for this weekly dispatch. My brain seems to have congealed into a sticky, overheated mess. I’m pretty sure that I’ve done quite a lot this week, my body certainly feels like it has done a lot, but my brain feels as limp as a jellyfish, and refuses to …
On Tuesday, I decided to take a day off from work, the suburbs, and my constant worrying, and caught the Metro into DC with a friend. We seized the surprisingly sunny day and went to check out the newly renovated East building of the National Gallery. I’m here to officially state that it is gorgeous, full …
Time for a fresh start So far, 2017 has not shaped up well on a professional level (as well as so many other levels). I have had two months of uncertainties, working on projects that may not ever come to fruition, waiting for people to make decisions that may shape the rest of my year, nay …
It’s January and all I want to do is wrap a blanket around myself and whisper sweet nothings to my sofa. I am not a Winter person, I find it difficult to be productive and ebullient when I am cold. Heck, I find it difficult to even get out of bed when I am cold, and working …

Before I move on and start outlining my hopes for 2017, let’s put this baby to bed properly! In 2016… I turned forty (finally, after waiting a whole forty years for this to happen). It’s strange to explain but, forty has always seemed like the perfect age to be, for me anyway. I have always expected to …
Well, I’m not sure how to start this. I’m imagining a set of weighing scales, and placing all the good and the bad things about 2016 on them. No matter how hard I try to look on the positive side of things, the bad side always tips the scale. I guess that’s because the last …
It’s going to be frigid this weekend, so go ahead, curl up on your sofa with a hot cup of tea, some cookies, a good book, and a blanket (or small child – both are equally cozy). My closest and mostest friends know that I love to read (in fact, some of my closest friends are actually …
It’s going to take a lot of strength to not eat my way through that packet of chocolate chips on the counter today. Thank Frigg it’s Friday (in case you were wondering, Frigg is an actual Norse goddess – look her up, she’s pretty amazing, you can trace her name back to the Sanskrit feminine …
