Slow Start and Good Intensions

February 26, 2022February 27, 2022 44clovers

February is nearly over. Thank goodness. But what I intended to be a one month off in December has snowballed into three. Guess I needed it. Creating while being a mother is hilarious.

And movement. Water. And trees. Flowers.… Continue reading Sketching = therapy

October 29, 2019July 19, 2020 44clovers

The progression of this project has been a graceful climb. As much as I hope my children will find what I do fascinating and want to partake someday soon, I also forget they still see me working and hear me talking about my latest project. I've given up on keeping things tidy and organized all… Continue reading Rug Dreams; designing my 1st rug
