I have been thinking of making a peacock for a few weeks. I knew it had to be a white peacock because I am just really not in to blues and greens for birds generally, at least not right now. As with creating any new piece there were lots of stops and starts and problems…

owl
While the girls were at school this morning I got a manicure (with no polish), a pedicure and I got my bushy eyebrows waxed. Friday morning I get a haircut. I'm sprucing up the shabby storefront, as Charlie and I like to say, and it does feel good to spend a moment on myself. I…
