We wear boredom and routine like armor. At work in the shop, I inhabit the same chair, strum the same calculator, answer the same phone and field the same damn questions I’ve been dealing with for 20 years…. Read More

We got a tortilla press! Every night is Taco Tuesday now! They’re like little sculptures of chili and chicken and veggies, all color and beauty and then you smash it in your mouth. Eat art, it tastes good.

It feels so good to be sewing again. And also a little scary. For the first time ever I’ve entered a quilt contest with this original art quilt. Eek! Im not allowed to show the whole quilt on social media until the judging is over and anyway winning is not the goal here. For me, the challenge was entering, putting the thing I made out there with all the other creators’ beautiful things. And it’s for a good cause. This is one of my favorite moments in the quilt: it’s my first time using white fabric and there are little frog feet showing which I didn’t know were there until just now. Hi, Froggy! #leaflightstudio

We’re not crazy; we’re fishing.

Never lock eyes with an old Norwegian fisherman when there’s a good halibut tide, unless you’re totally prepared to bob around in the middle of the inlet covered in fish slime. I used to know better, but we caught our limit and it was a helluva day on the water. Thanks, Captain Ronn! Sorry I didn’t get a shot of the absolute ginormous boat-sinking monster you pulled in. But hey, all monsters are fish and chips in the end.

Making caviar. I think. 🤞

I have officially reached the Yoga-Bun-at-Work stage of the pandemic. Feeling flexible and cute, thank you very much.
