Open Studio Happy Hours
Hey friends! I’m introducing something new at my art studio: Happy hours for creative people!
During these happy hours, you can try the make-and-take project of the day, work on something you started in class, or bring your own thing! Meet other creative people and enjoy a glass of wine or cup of tea as you create.

The first one is happening on Sunday, November 22nd after needle-felting class. If you take the class, you could stick around for a glass of wine and more needle-felting during Happy Hour!

Thoughts and Musings

It’s a good question.
What data do I have out there in the nether that I’m just ignoring? Umm, well, it’s true that I do have over 15 years worth of Facebook and Instagram posts that I haven’t looked at in forever.
And that’s on me. I need to take responsibility for the energy and fresh water it takes to save those posts out there.
So I got to it! This week I deleted too many Instagram posts and archived stories to count. Then I completed the arduous process of deleting daily Facebook posts to my business page dating back to 2011. Maybe it’s only a tiny dent in the big scheme of things. But it’s my tiny dent and I feel good about it.
Next I’ll tackle some of those 23,000 photos I have in the cloud, my abandoned personal Facebook page, and maybe some old emails.
I hope to see you IRL soon!
