Tales of IKEA
Happy Ides of March! When I learned about this day in history in high school, my knowledge transformed into a toga dance called the Ides of March. “Really, Julius Caesar was murdered on March 15?

Umbrellas
There’s something romantic about umbrellas. The shape, open or closed, is so definitive. I really could look at them endlessly. I’ve always owned an umbrella with some style.

Now, before you roll your eyes… (I’m writing to you, humans, as dogs don’t roll their eyes) My mission statement is simple: With a little nod to Salt-n-Pepa, I’m reaching out to my fellow dogs and asking about you. If you’re interested in writing about yourself or if you humans… Continue Reading
Office Area to Studio Space
One of my dreams is to have a studio with room to create whatever I can imagine. As with many of you crafty people out there, I’m sure you make due with whatever space is available. I have been slowly taking over “the playroom,” which was briefly an office B.K. (Before Kids.) Now that these… Continue Reading
