For spring, which has sprung, a random list of artsy things I would like to do/try/attempt someday, when time and space and money and such fickle things align properly:
Re-finish and creatively paint furniture, in muted technicolor funky-but-classy patterns. You know, when I have the room to strip and store furniture.
Art dolls, quirky creepy pseudo-Victorian porcelain [...]
The weather gods decided to drop a weekend of summer into the middle of spring. It is warm to the point of floptastically floppy kittens and desperate desire for sangria. (I have the floppy kittens, but sadly lack sangria.)
I am reading and writing and contemplating a series of monochromatic rainbow paintings.

I finished draft 4 of the novel on Monday. I think it’s draft 4, it might be draft 3.5. I immediately found about 8 things that need changing but since that draft is now safely in the hands of three trustworthy beta readers (if they’ve already beta’d it are they gamma readers now?) so I [...]

For instance, today I have mostly been sitting and re-working two sections from the novel, one of [...]

Seriously, the entire thing. Making just one change tied everything together in [...]
I just signed up on goodreads, something I’ve been meaning to do for awhile.
I am slightly overwhelmed, there are a lot of things to click. I might need a nap before I can really figure out all the bells and whistles.
I did, however, add about 100 books from memory, with only a passing glance at [...]
Yesterday I wasn’t sure what I wanted to work on and couldn’t quite focus enough to write. So I pulled out my big box of random supplies and found a bunch of polymer clay I’d pretty much forgotten about.
And I made a sheep.
He’s a bit over an inch tall and about 2 inches from head [...]
