A dear friend of mine wrote a book. If you are into vampire novels, this is right up your alley. It is called, Monster: Memior of a Vampire by Josephine Napiore. It is The Outsiders meets The Lost Boys. I enjoyed it very much. #booksky

Debuting these pocket watch spiders at a steampunk event this weekend.

There is a coyote in my back yard. I live within the city limits of St. Paul, MN. This is not the first time or even the second time they coyote has visited. We have cultivated a welcoming space for wild life, but mostly for birds and bunnies. It is cool the coyote also feels safe here.

This week, I finally downloaded the Libby app and am listening to a book while I work in my studio. I was having a tough time finding the time to sit and read, so this is great.

My husband built me a studio space in our basement. I love it.

There is just so much to keep up on. I can't do everything, so I'm going to focus on less. I am an election judge in Minnesota. Election integrity is something I can help protect. I am an Arts Advocate. This is something I can continue to do. I grew up on a farm. Rural people are people I can reach.

New guitar case stickers have arrived!

I just started making indoor plant stakes and I am obsessed.

I now have a studio in the basement and I'm loving it. I made these yesterday.

Ok, I haven't been playing guitar for very long, but I just played an entire verse of Swallow Song (Joan Baez version) without looking at my chord changes. Muscle memory for the win. Also, for further bragging, I'm finger picking it (I really cannot strum to save my life).

One of my newest creations. I spent a lot of time finding just the right pieces. I just love the shape.

This was the first ornate spider I made. Still one of my favorites.

Doing a craft show in North Branch MN, today. This is supposed to be a busy show. I'm nervous.

I created a new spider yesterday. I love the Victorian feel of this one.
