Gold star

Last night was hard. When I write my blog, I didn’t want to admit how I’d been completely stopped on the painting I’d been working on. As much as I wanted to write last night after finishing the blog, I found it hard to sit down and start the process after the depressing stop to … Continue reading Gold star

Cats awake

Coville hasn’t been feeling well the last few days. My beautiful black cat is 16 years old, so it’s not surprising. But when he starts acting like this, he wants to sleep on me, not just near me. This last week, he’s wanted to cuddle under the blankets too. He woke me up at 3 … Continue reading Cats awake

Well, that’s actually what I’ve been practicing on in several stories, but this one I’m trying to practice appropriate length of endings. I always … Continue reading Not so fast

Bow tie day

I am definitely reaching the end of my drummer story. I feel the beat slowing and things are starting to wrap up. When I picked Merlin up today, he had a cute little bow tie for Valentine’s Day. He absolutely loves his doggie daycare. He is a completely different dog when he’s there. Here he … Continue reading Bow tie day
