Good Golly, Miss Molly… this poor blog

Oh goodness. This blog has just slipped away from me! I think a website re-design and blog overhaul may be in order. I think this center column is a little narrower than I’d like, and I want to re-organize this site so it makes a bit more navigational sense. Or possibly have the homepage be [...]

And a Partridge in a Pear Tree…

Another new holiday art set is ready for the fair! I spent the entire day and night yesterday working on it and cranked out 12 3 x 4″ drawings, scanned them in today and assembled them in mini-poster format. I’m debating also offering them as an ACEO set or possibly as their original size as [...]

8 Tiny Reindeer!…literally. Oh wait, actually, 9.

It’s approaching the holiday season, and while common sense says I should have been working on holiday artwork about 3 months ago, of course I am scrambling now with less than a week before my very. first. holiday. craft fair!

*applause*

Ok it’s small, but it’s a start. And to prepare, I have made this!

Getting Ready for Halloween with some Cute New Artwork

If anyone reading this follows me on Facebook or has been a return visitor to the When Guinea Pigs Fly shop, you’ll probably have noticed that it’s been awhile since new artwork has gone up. Far too long, actually.

I could go into details about the excuses why I haven’t been drawing, but you’d probably be [...]

Featured on Martha’s Circle today, woohoo!

So I’ve been making content on Squidoo for a couple of years now, and I was contacted today by someone from Martha’s Circle just letting me know that a couple links to some super cute Halloween cupcake recipes I found on Martha Stewart’s website that I featured on my Squidoo Halloween Cupcake page were going [...]

Year Old Wedding Cake

Yesterday was my husband’s and my one year anniversary. I can hardly believe it’s been a year already!

Props to Mom for wrapping the top tier of our wedding cake in a bulletproof fortress of plastic wrap, foil and cardboard. It literally tasted just like it did a year ago, with not a spot of freezer [...]

Annie, Get Your Gun!

What have I been up to these past 5 weeks?

Not making paintings of guinea pigs, sadly. But hopefully there will be more time for that shortly. I’ve spent my days in a stifling hot middle school cafeteria working with an amazingly talented group of middle schoolers with the Stoneham Theatre Summer Program. Over the course [...]

How is it August already?

Wow this Summer is flying. It seems that every week or weekend I have something going on that takes me away from being able to relax and enjoy the Summer. Gah!

After this upcoming weekend, I’ll be finished with the Summer theatre program I’ve been teaching/music directing. But there is no rest for the weary just [...]

Did I mention I love Guinea Pigs?

Ohhh where does the time go? I am so awesome at updating my blog, aren’t I?!

Amidst playing songs from Annie, Get Your Gun for several hours a day, wrangling pre-teen and teenage thespians, and scarfing down peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in the 90 degree sunshine while scratching at mosquito bites, I’ve been reflecting on [...]

Busy much?

Oh me oh my I have neglected this poor little blog so badly!

I’m contemplating moving the blog URL back to the main URL for this website, since I honestly haven’t used that homepage for too much. May as well make it as easy as possible for people to find the blog, and when you click [...]
