I’ve never read another author who has spoken to me like Emily Carr. As a newly 30something single woman in search of a mantra, Emily Carr bypasses my eyes and ears and speaks to my heart. To say I envy her clarity is an understatement. I realize that she struggled immensely with in life to [...]

I’ve just added a new video clip to the site. It is part of my crafting page and pertains to one of my purse projects entitled Swimming with the Fishes. The page is not yet complete, but the media has been added. The clip is of my appearance on Real Life (a CTS program) with [...]

So, as I have mentioned before, I’m in school until December when I expect to complete my BA. After that I’m at a bit of a loss what to do, because money is short and a Masters seems so far away. What I’ve been thinking of is completing a Certificate in Museum Studies with the [...]

The title of this post may be a bit of wishful thinking. At 5pm today I start my reading week… or rather reading 10 days. I’ve got so much planned, though so very little of it revolves around recreation. History, Accounting and Humanities will be the order of the week in a very big way. [...]

As part of what I hope will become a recurring feature here, I feel really compelled to share an excellent exhibition with anyone who may chance to read this. As you will come to know, I love crafts, I love animals and I love museums… so when these three things finally meet, you could imagine [...]

It seems that I’m making it a yearly event… scrapping this whole site and starting over. I never really meant to start this trend, but it seems I’ve had a few false starts in the past few years. Last time I started using a Content Management System (Drupal), which was waaaaay too smart for me. [...]
