Trying to get the ball rolling again

Well, there's no doubt it's been a difficult summer. We are slowly getting over the shock of loosing my husband's mum a few weeks ago. Cancer is a bitch.

I've really been neglecting my art as of late, but I'm slowly trying to get back into the routine. It's helpful to have an outlet at times like these, but sometimes finding the energy is the hard part.

My current project is a brooch from a family member. No pictures yet, but by the end of this week, I should have a few pieces ready for display. So check back for an update on that.

I'm also very proud and excited about the latest development over at HMN. My husband, James is the latest writer to join our dept! I've always loved reading him, and I think he'll be taking our dept. into new directions that are going to be both fun and informational.

My latest article is on a topic that is close to my heart; French Crepes. My mom made them a few times a month as Sunday brunch growing up. In recent years, I've perfected a delicious dessert filling that I'm happy to share with you here.
