Moving

April 26th, 2011

We moved in July and I think I’m finally recovering from all the changes and finding time for myself again.  Me and my kids spent a few years in a tiny shoebox apartment in Capitola.  We loved that apartment, it was so small I didn’t even have a bedroom, I had a futon in the living room, but it was so full of love and happiness that we didn’t care, we were happy to be there so close to the village and beach.

We moved to a beautiful house about 6 miles down the coast.   I miss the village, but have exchanged it for my own bedroom, an ocean view and a much nicer place to live.  We built a room for Cole in the garage, and it turned out amazing.  What started out a little idea one night after a couple glasses of wine turned into something amazing, and even more full of love.

Missing in Action

February 18th, 2010

I’ve been a bit scattered

No time to draw… or is it no desire at the moment…

Spending a lot of time with my kids

And cooking

And at the beach…  walking and walking…

Sometimes something has to give, and I guess right now it’s been my blog…

Sometimes it’s just necessary to take a step back and get a good look at things.

But I’m sure I’ll be back when I find a little time, inspiration and direction.

Maybe when the sun comes back out.

Pesto Parmesan Stars – Before and After

December 25th, 2009

This morning I made these for a Christmas dinner party… “Pesto Parmesan Stars”.  Puffed pastry with pesto and parmesan cheese, cut out into stars and baked.  So good.  I had my hands full and was walking out to the car to leave and klutzy me tripped on the uneven sidewalk…

AFTER THE FALL

My beautiful platter my bestie Lisa bought me on her Honeymoon in Hawaii 20 years ago… smashed.  Pesto stars… ruined.  Christmas gift (a candle in a glass jar)….. shattered.   my knees… swollen.  My hand…. split open.

At least I didn’t break the wine.

All is well in the world

Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a great 2010.  Life seems to be so busy around here lately, and not much time to draw or blog, but I’ll try and do better after the New Year!

Survivor Samoa

November 13th, 2009

Best Survivor ever?  At least two of the best episodes I’ve ever seen, thanks to Russell, who I hated at the beginning of the season.  How can you hate someone so brilliantly clever?

This is what Survivor is all about… blind-siding and backstabbing!  I can’t wait for the finale… whether or not Russell makes it to the end or not, he’s brought Survivor to a new level. 

Added Bonus:  Jeffy baby

I went to a baby shower at work.  Yes, another potluck.  The best thing…. ORANGE SODA!  I hardly ever drink soda, and having some Orange Soda was SPECTACTULAR! Seriously good stuff.
