On this shortest day of the year, I'm looking forward to the days getting longer again. I don't know if I'll get to see any of this lovely white stuff this winter, but I'm hoping. I may just have to live it vicariously through other people's photos. Happy Winter even if it doesn't feel like… Continue reading Happy Winter Solstice

Color Series: The In Betweens Day 1
I'm finally getting around to working on this branched out color series. The focus will be on the colors that I don't feel really fits solidly into one standard color or another. I was going to try and target warm colors vs. cool colors as a way of trying to organize or group these, but… Continue reading Color Series: The In Betweens Day 1
Color Series: Yellow Day 2
For anyone that wants to play along, my only suggestions (suggestions, not rules!) are: The color is the dominate focus in the image as opposed to a small spot in a lot of other colors. Drop a comment so I can follow along on your color journey. That's it! I hope you play along and… Continue reading Color Series: Yellow Day 2

Craft Room Project: Reworking Cabinet Layout
Between the couple of tweaks I wanted to to make and the tweaks I have been forced to make now that the walls and outlets are all in place, I've had to do some changes to the cabinet layout. I realized that the switches by where my jewelry bench is going are behind where I… Continue reading Craft Room Project: Reworking Cabinet Layout

My Vote
I’m one of the unlucky ones when it comes to voting early. My state doesn’t allow it unless there are specific conditions that can be met. Yes, they expanded the ability to vote by mail this year, but… I honestly don’t trust my state to not have some obscure rule that would discount my mail… Continue reading My Vote
In The Fall Sun
Little Fuzzy Buzzy
Getting some color on the Autumn Sedum. An not just the little bee. This is a definite sign that cooler temps are on their way. I just really wish those cooler temps weren't the predicted record breaking low high temp for the day that is expected later in the week.
Amazon Suckage As An Author
I've mentioned struggles in the past with being an indie author. I've even talked a little bit about my experiences with advertising specifically on Amazon. I'm now discovering another lovely and not often mentioned little beauty (oh, so NOT) that is the beast of Amazon. Ranking and search results. Or, to be more accurate, the… Continue reading Amazon Suckage As An Author

Recommended Reads From May
Apparently May wasn't a great month for me when it came to reading 4 or 5 star books. Granted, I did a whole lot of rereading in May and not a lot of new reads, but of those new reads, I also had more DNFs this month than I think I've ever had in a… Continue reading Recommended Reads From May

Recommended Reads From April
Looks like April was fantasy book month for me based on this list of 4 and 5 star reads. I really don't find it the least bit surprising that I'd be looking for something that takes away from reality right now. There are a few that are more contemporary, but they were spread out over… Continue reading Recommended Reads From April
