Daily Walks

My hands are busy making bees and my brain is busy processing research, but I also aim to take daily walks as the weather allows. Here are some snapshots of the recent beauty in my neighborhood. I don’t get beach tokens, but sometimes I am tempted to take a day at the beach. Picnic tables […]

Nature Love

It’s been lovely to stroll around Evanston in this gorgeous weather. I am taking daily walks as part of a health plan, and love getting to know the various streets and gardens of my neighborhood better. Milkweed is abundant here, both planted by the city and private gardens, and it thrills me to see the […]

Summerfun

Between EvanstonMade and preparing for the pop up and gearing up for August’s events, my art life has been quite busy. Nonetheless, I do make sure to stop and smell the flowers, observe butterflies, and stroll in nature. I blog outdoors when I can to soak up the sun. Here are some of the snapshots of […]

Summer strolls

August is my birthday month, and I am taking a breather from exhibits. I am also making it a point to walk around the block more, and it is fun to give Angel things to do. A group of friends went to see Ghostbusters. We picked up a Pixie Mood purse at Stumble & Relish […]

Exploring Volo Bog

Over the Holiday Weekend I felt the need to take a hike. I decided to revisit Volo Bog State Natural Area, where I had been a few times almost a decade ago. I was pleased to see the preserve was still as nice as I remembered, and that it was quiet in spite of the […]

Summer

Summer has begun and I wish I could go on vacation. Instead I am sneaking lake time away from the computer when I can. I uninstalled the DOT Show and am pleased my circles held up well. I even got to take home 2 of Carol Hamilton’s dots. Along the way I got to watch […]

Summer tally

It’s been a jam-packed summer. I was featured on the FUSEDChicago Facebook page. I saw my friends MyHealthBeet and ConnectedTissue wear their lovely new pendants out and about. A purple coral set was snapped up by a friend the moment I instagrammed it. I was pampered by Noktivo and promptly ruined the manicures (pedicures last, […]

Summer Daze

I have a few blog posts in my head, but sitting down to write them is a challenge these days. I am drawn outside on the warmer days and thrilled to spot the butterflies fluttering about. I’ve explored a variety of events and enjoyed taking in all the inspiration and creativity. Business projects keep me […]

Other people’s gardens

Normally this time of the year I have plenty of butterfly snapshots, but they’ve been scarce thus far. I am pleased to see monarchs fluttering about, the cabbage whites are becoming more visible, and I’ve spotted a few admirals, but not as plentiful as seasons past. Those I do see are either too fast or […]

Life is Blossoming

So yeah, I’m the eccentric woman crouching in front of other people’s gardens these days. Only my photo time stamp tells me I do this for 40 minutes or so. Ooops. To me it feels like I only spend ten minutes snapping pretty petals. Oh well, call me crazy, but seeing these blooms fills my […]
