  • If I do what I think I’d like to do, I’ll let you know after I do it…! (Art, markets, and more.)

    Spring is here, which means I’m extra anxieted (anxious + excited!!)  It’s all good, though.  We’ll get everything done, right?  And if we don’t…that’s okay.

    Today I’m rambling about my somewhat newfound appreciation for working with “traditional”/physical art media.  And, we’re starting a farmers market!!! Yay!
