This is kind of a personal post, but it’s also kind of not. I’ve spoken to other people about this and I know I’m not alone. Perhaps everyone who works from home as a self-supporting creative experiences this at some point. And while I am letting off a little steam here, the intent is to […]

Magick 4 Terri — foxy book art
Collectors take note: If you want a chance to get your hands on some of my book art, now is the time. I have no idea when I’ll do anything like this again. Next year maybe? The year after? Who knows! (Click to enlarge.) Today is Magick Monday, the start of a nearly month-long auction to […]
The Gates are Shut
Or learning to say no. I often wonder why it is that if, for example, I’m about to be mugged I have no problem saying “oh no I’m not” and fighting to the near-death to prove it. True story, that. It happened in Philadelphia. I lost my favorite lipstick in that mugging, and a whole […]

Becoming British
On Friday the 7th of October I joined twenty-six other people — between us representing fifteen countries — in the Wakefield Town Hall where the district’s citizenship ceremonies are held once each month. It’s only right that I share some of that day with the readers of this blog, since you all have in some […]
Creative Blues
Right now, I am in a terribly bad place (not a great way to start a post, but there it is). It isn’t depression, thank god for that, but I have over the last few weeks become the crabbiest old grandma you ever did see. I’m tired and I have zero enthusiasm for anything I’m […]
