In June 2018 I was in the height of my “eyes on rocks” painting period. This octopus eye was one of my favorites.
This rock was put out in the wild for someone to find.
Throwback Thursday: Octopus eye

Throwback Thursday: Sophie
I found the first trail cam photo of Sophie the dilute calico from January, 2018. We had just moved into the house and I set up the trail cam (a gift from my folks) to watch the wood pile past the back fence. This was before she adopted us and we took over her medical care.
Eight years later, and Sophie spends her nights indoors (and most of the day), and that log pile is almost completely decayed away.
Throwback Thursday: Harvey
In August 2017 Hurricane Harvey devastated Texas and flooded many of our neighbors houses and property, displacing them for months on end. At the beginning, we didn’t know what we were in for, but our youngest did have a fear of storms, so we made a cake.
The storm wasn’t a furious one, it was a sulking behemoth that just sat over us and rained constantly for days and days. We had just recovered from a house fire two years before and were fortunate not to add flood to the house history. Many of our neighbors were not so fortunate, and had to be evacuated by boat, with flood lines two feet up in their living rooms.
Throwback Thursday: T21 bracelet
In August of 2017 I made custom metal buttons for Down Syndrome (Trisomy 21) awareness bracelets by drilling two holes in aluminum discs and stamping them.
I then crocheted braided bracelets and used the buttons for the closures.
Throwback Thursday: carved dog
In June of 2017 I did a small carving of a dog from a stick of basswood.
What I like about this carving is that from one side it looks like a lazy dog, but the back leg is not splayed. It is positioned under the body, ready to spring to action.
The quick brown fox would not jump over this deceptively lazy dog.
