Making Stuff, Chapter 4

Usable, functional, beautiful, real stuff  that I made myself. This is the grown up version of a toddler saying “Me do it!!” No pipe cleaners (are those actually for cleaning pipes?) or glue guns for this chick! Last time I warned you not to put tile on things that were rotting. This time I am […]

Mural Make-over

Happy Birthday, Audrey! Nope, that’s not the subject of this blog post. But, sometimes an aunt has to do what she has to do. I’m in awe of my niece, proud of her, and so pleased to be her aunt. In March of 2012, I painted a mural on the side of the building that […]
