the city of perth, one day apart. from morning till night sleet and winds up to 45mph, to blue skies and dreamy, colorful clouds.

showing off my latest project: a crochet hooded scarf (with pockets)! sometimes crocheting random squares a year back, and then losing steam on their original purpose, can be a secret blessing. #crochet #hoodedscarf

things i’d have to do if i were to move to scotland: start a hot sauce company.

a perthshire haunt for morning fetch.

i feel this strange development happening within me, where I continually find foods that once loved too salty. all while simultaneously craving tajin be added to foods others would often deem inappropriate. tajin is just fancy salt. i am befuddled.

if the world wasnt falling apart, id truly consider opening a breakfast sammy spot.

My painting PACIFIC NORTHWEST

usually hummus from the grocery store sucks, but i am obsessed with ithaca lemon beet hummus. wow, dude.

i just want to write books surrounded by trees and the sounds of critters rustling around me.

What do you do when the world keeps getting crueler, but you just started to see shapes in the clouds again?

i have almost no experience with artist markets, but I have 3 coming up in March! i am so excited, and tempted to accept every new opportunity, but think I need to wait and see what I am in for first. eeee.

it’s amazing how healing it can be to turn your attentions towards the desires of little you. in the last year, i’ve shedded so many incorrect priorities to center my dreams and whims from childhood, and things have never felt so right.

kitty speed painting wip. ~30 minutes.

how do people organize their lives? Am I just pursuing too many things in earnest all at the same time, or do I need organizational coaching?

sometimes i make silly soft things.

i miss splashing in the mystical waters of skye.

my friend moved away, and i miss her. i painted this for her. i think i need to spend some time doing small paintings again. 5x7. #acrylic #artsky

saw the #eraserhead baby in the sky.

Somedays, I write nothing. Others, like today, I sit down and write 3 chapters in one afternoon, while also plotting out the entire rest of my book. Good feels.

Idilically lost

can’t i just create silly crafts today instead of deal with my tire that exploded while driving home at 2am?

Oh for a terracotta roof and a garden in the woods

awash in greens.

Well, it's Groundhog Day... again...

you can take the man out of the marsh, but you can’t take the marsh out of the man. homesick today.

missing the way the waters of Scotland managed to so effortlessly sooth my weary soul.

thinking of making more mush bags. #crochet #crochetsky
