Too much social media

One thing I value most is time. And one thing that takes up a lot of that is social media. I'm not even talking about personal social media that I use for to connect my friends and family. I'm referring to my social media for my art. Right now I have the following platforms for …

2 weeks left

I have 2 weeks left in my first kickstarter campaign! I went from 11% to 20% in one week but I still need your help! Raising the other 80% in 14 days really seems like a stretch, but I truly believe I can do it! I will posting images of the pins soon as an …

My first Kickstarter, now what?

Well, I've finally done it. I created a kickstarter campaign to help myself build an inventory and also make cool products for others to buy.

My husband got me floated

If you are familiar with The 100 which is a show based on a novel series about the surviving human race who live on a space ship, then you will get the reference I used for the title. For those that don't, getting floated is a form of capital punishment where someone is executed by being sucked …

Death makes brothers of us all

When I first thought of posting this, it was several weeks ago and I had just read about the loss of a friend from school, another friend I had met in the last couple of years and Facebook reminded me with their wonderful 'on this day' app that I had another friend commit suicide a …
