This bag contains 17 bare root Native Plants. I drove across town to pick them up today and was reminded that here in Portland, Oregon we have a strong community that cares about nature, about the environment and about human rights.
A good reminder as to why I live here.

I've been making teeny tiny batches of handmade soaps as a way of taking it easy when I'm not at my bench.. Something so beautiful about the slow, quiet process and scents that fill and linger in our home.

More of my ongoing theme this winter, Ghost Forest for tomorrow at 12pm Pacific.
Now it's time to kick my feet up for a bit of rest tonight. We need good rest if we're going to stay strong.

I'm at the point where I'm actually hoping the sun or better, a supermassive black hole would just zap us into oblivion already. Anything would be better than suffering the greedy, ugly, demented wraths of these disgusting money sickness monsters.

My brain has been super scattered lately, and I've been hard on myself about it. Until I realized it's a trauma response.
So I'm making every effort go easy on myself and finding my focus to work whenever it happens.
Thought to share in case any of you might be experiencing something similar.

This is Momo Italiano. I rescued him last summer from a very difficult situation, and now he's modeling a clawed glass heart necklace I'm working on.
I hope his mug makes at least one person smile because times are getting very, very unreal.
Dogs are Love.

A deliberate meditation on love at my bench today. Yet, remaining vigilant to all the hate, fear, and chaos that continues to spiral.

Last night's Moon from my bedroom window here in Oregon. Lit up like a cosmic reminder to us Earthlings to keep our eyes on the bigger picture and not just all the disturbing details of our human chaos.

Mélina's jewelry is absolutely exquisite. I own at least 20 pieces that she's made and they are all my favorite things. The details are just astounding. www.lupanyxa.com/collections/...
