WE MADE IT. Edition 12 of 12. Here we go. This month I am selling original abstract paintings and prints of these original paintings. It's quite likely you're thinking, "you painted 29 paintings?!" or "you painted 290 paintings?!?!!?" and the answer is a giant "NO." and "NO squared." I didn't. I failed. Or you could…

that photo album Ellerie is "looking at" holds her film photos and is by kolo. I couldn't find an online source but this appears to be similar. around here it's full steam ahead with GET TO WORK BOOK. I am thankful for your comments and excitement yesterday (I think I answered all of the questions that…

I'm running this post early because it's ready and I'm excited. I apologize for the lack of photos. This is just way too text-heavy, but there is a lot to say and not too much to show yet. More visuals will come soon(ish). Got your coffee? Good. Me too. At the end of October I…

I am really excited to do something different with my posts this month. In addition to some "normal" posts, I am going to be telling my small business story in 500-1000 word parts. Consider it my "blemoir" which is when a blog and a memoir have a baby and nobody wants to raise, edit or…

This week I read a thoughtful and heartfelt post from John and Sherry on Young House Love that they were going to take a break from blogging for awhile. YHL has probably 20 times the readership as my blog and has become an empire based around their DIY personalities. I can only imagine the stress…

It's quite likely this "tutorial" is already known by most photo-savvy folks, but I had NO idea that this technology existed until a few months ago. I re-size every photo on my blog (and every photo on my website) to properly fit the column/size needed. Part of this is making them "web-friendly" or reducing the…
