While I was up at the workshop last week, I knew I’d have some time when I was tired of talking and also of staring at computer screens, so I brought along my big folder of botanicals and some resin projects. I didn’t get a lot done in the end — too busy talking to

Made a few more candles today, before and after teaching & dentist. I got a little bored with pink, so moved on to purple, which I have decided is equally romantic, so there. And hydrangeas are often a blue-ish purple in real life. I really like the ombré effect on some of the little heart

Why am I so tired? Does it being cold outside make you tired? It’s not even super-cold yet — that’s coming. I got enough sleep, nothing is particularly wrong, and yet, my limbs feel like lead. Chaired iGov meeting from 8:30 a.m. – 9:45 a.m., hosting a community dinner this evening, nothing else on the

I swear, I had a whole to-do list today, but instead I have spent almost the entire day watching Father Brown murder mysteries and making candles. Sometimes I just don’t know what’s going on in my head. At least we got the Christmas tree out. That’s something that actually needed to get done. Unlike EVERYTHING

I want to clarify a little bit from my failure post of the other day. Lots of people responded kindly with suggestions of structural changes, but I think what wasn’t clear to them (and that might be my fault for how I wrote it originally), is that this isn’t a structural problem. Yes, if you’re

Please forgive all the to-do lists; somehow, I find it motivating and it’s helping me get through the set of things I need to do before the semester starts next week… (Pic — IKEA Kallax unit I assembled yesterday (only dropped it on my fingers once), because I was frustrated with what the shop had
