I really really really want to paint flowers and forests and cottages and cats and cakes with coffee. So, if you happen to see my creative spirit wandering about, haunting everywhere else but me, let me know so I might recapture it, please. It’s been too long.

It’s my birthday today. To celebrate, I am sending out the Great Fairy Pug to bring you good fortune and all the treats and naps you deserve. I am endlessly grateful for the warmth, support, and inspiration I find in this art community every day. Thank you 💙

It was a good studio day. I remembered that my paintings take time and will ultimately come together in the end if I keep at them, slowly, patiently. #art #painting #artstudio #blueskyart

There were unexpected complications, but I managed to save a few slices.

19 April 1943 | Groups of Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto began the uprising against Germans. Their heroic battle lasted 27 days. Today we remember the bravery & sacrifice of people who chose to resist against impossible odds to die in dignity & save the human spirit. More: https://t.co/OoVGtqwWPu

Brave little Clementine! She is one of two senior mini horses we took in last Dec when their elderly owner could no longer care for them. Change is hard, but especially for Clementine since she is completely blind. She was so brave through everything and is now enjoying the spring warmth! 🍊🌸

I got the hardware I needed to finish these today! It was hard to find what I needed in silver.

I don't know why, but I've been obsessed with polymer clay lately. I made about 20 pairs of these in three different colors of red. I used to offer orange but let's face it, when you think Ladybug you think Red 🐞 #polymerclay #bsnm

At the beginning of the war in 2022, I helped raise $2000 for Ukraine with 3 art pieces featuring Pres. Zelenskyy, a Ukrainian cat, and a Ukrainian dog named Rambo. I wear this t-shirt proudly and always support the bravery of the Ukrainian people! Slava Ukraini! #art #ukraine #cat #dog #painting

As most of you know, we recently took in a baby goat named Janey. She was an emergency intake from a dairy and would have died if we hadn't intervened immediately. But goats are herd animals and we knew it would be best for Janey if she had a friend or two... so please welcome Cornelius and Floyd! 💕

This was highly experimental! Another first for myself as a jewelry maker. A sterling silver post with about an inch of chain so the charm flutters around.

Long ago, a cat died from being fed four minutes past feeding time. Cats have told their children of this for 3,000 generations.

This is officially the smallest piece of hardware I've ever used.

Coffee cheers, all. Hope your day will be calm and as peaceful as it can be. I also hope there will be books, coffee, art, pets, and friends involved.
