I’ll be peddling my wares at the Patterson Park Flea Market & Craft Fair. I’ll bring all of the vintage and refashioned goodies from my Etsy shop and sell them [...]

I ran in the Race for the Cure 5k on October 23, 2010. My friends and family really helped to support my cause by donating to the event. My husband came out to wait for me at the finish line and photograph my [...]

At fewer than 50 miles away from Baltimore, D.C. is just a hop, skip and jump away. We are both members of the same Etsy team: DC Craftacopia, a collection of fun and talented crafters from the D.C.

As a follow-up to my previous post “The ‘Buch is On!” I can say that it appears to have been a successful experiment. I finally had a thin, white, filmy pancake looking SCOBY grow on top of my tea brew. It looked like kombucha, it smelled like kombucha, so I called it done. I [...]

Graffiti, pasteups, sculpture. I’ve always admired the brave soul who climbed a water tower, jumped a train or crawled under a dark overpass in the wee hours. I enjoyed watching living artisitic expression growing on walls at music festivals like Starscape here in Baltimore. I admire the interesting perspective that [...]
