I know, I never call. I never write. I’m sorry. It’s bad when even my dog is trying to guilt me into blogging. The good news is that I’ve tested new, delicious recipes. I’ve taken fun pictures. I’ve painted new paintins. There are good things to come, I promise.
Happy Feet
I got spoiled from June to February. While painting away my life on watercolor paper and ceilings, I somehow forgot that it’s normal to wear real shoes. I have a great pair of flip flops and some warm slipper-like boots. Who needs dainty, attractive shoes when you’re practically barefoot all the time? But it is…

Merry Mid-January
We’re very nearly into the double digits in January, and I’m working my way into the month with our Christmas tree proudly standing in the front window. I kind of like it. It is the prettiest Christmas tree of my adult life, and it’s definitely cheery. Why not leave it up for cool winter nights?…
