Weaving Videos

Last year wasn’t the great new beginning I thought it was going to be — matter of fact, last year ended up being really hard — but there is one project I am pretty proud of. It was a joint effort with Handmade Traditions to create tutorials for the ancient Native American art of Finger…

New Mexico Vacation

These days it’s hard to plan a vacation. Last year everything shut down *thanks COVID* and once things opened up again this year it was like the flood gates opened for work. So the hubby and I took a very impromptu vacay at the end of June. We literally said, “ok we’ve got one week…

Industry Boom?

I had the opportunity to help teach G&E in two film workshops over the past few weeks. It was great to see so many new people interested in joining the industry. Plus, with the studios being build and recent boom in local productions, they couldn’t have picked a better time to get involved. Exciting things…

Branching Out

This is going to be my year. Sure, people say that every year. I really feel, though, that this IS going to be it for me. Ya know? It had a slow start being on crutches and all — plus the pandemic is still a thing at the moment — but I’m branching out more…

Workers Comp: How To Navigate & What To Expect

Hey there, been a while. So much has happened in the last year it’s insane! At the same time, social distancing and quarantine also mean that (in a way) very little has happened. It’s a strange dichotomy… Without getting into all the craziness that we all know as 2020 I just wanted to talk a…

Anniversary Photos – year 5

If you follow my blog then you’ll know that I have now been married 5 years and had intended to celebrate the milestone with a trip. Unfortunately, the covid-19 pandemic put a halt on our travel plans. We did, however, get pictures taken. (See, I practice what I preach) Being a bit of a sentimentalist,…

A Note To Private Sellers

There are so many creative, ingenuitive, entrepreneurs out there and the internet has made it easier than ever to find a market and sell unique and useful merchandise — it’s great — but the internet also puts some separation between the seller and the customer as well. As good of quality work as many of…

Activism: Does it matter?

So, ACTIVISM: what is it and does it matter? Well, I’ve heard activism broken down as three categories of “activism” that we can look at…

A 5 Year Reflection

Today marks 5 years since my hubby and I said “I do.” I wanted to write something to commemorate this milestone and reflect upon it but I don’t know what to say. Right now, we were supposed to be celebrating on a vacation (thanks COVID :P), checking out MeowWolf and trying new foods like rattlesnake…

Backyard Bird Watching

For the past few months many of us have spent most of our time stuck at home. With the outbreak of Covid-19 schools were closed, businesses shut down, and folks were prohibited from gathering in large groups. Many things have opened back up now, but life is still slow. It’ll be a long time before…
