hope you’re proud of yourself

08/15/2020 Tile Gypsy

For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it.

I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again.

– F. Scott Fitzgerald

Top 10 Winter Revelations

04/16/2020 Tile Gypsy

The current state of doom, gloom and negativity have made skipping and blowing bubbles blogging a real challenge.
Mean people suck.
I’m closer to finding my tile tools.
Patience has an evil twin.
I’m not sorry to whoever has to dispose of my life litter, there’s a lot of really cool stuff in there.
February is a weight changer in the north woods.
Trees make good neighbors.
Makes sense that less feels best. ;)D
Dirt happens so do spiders, mice and wolves.
It’s a short stay, slow down, fear less and always be a good one.

Glass on Glass Reboot

09/20/2019 Tile Gypsy

The new studio is still under construction so we moved a little desk into the corner of the porch/laundry room/back entrance for now. Thanks, Robbie.

Working in a small space is challenging and limits the amount of available materials but it also forces tidiness and focus which are really good things.

Unfortunately – and fortunately – the earning a living and still unpacking things tend to get in the way of being a gypsy full time but I’m still having a blast getting there.

The truth is … my dream progress is still happening behind the scenes and I’m quite proud of myself for making the time to create a new glass on glass vintage window project and filming the whole thing.

My little sis watched the video, she liked it, laughed a little and was even inspired to start creating her own peace so … I’m going to film the ending this weekend and hand it off to RJM to finish the edit and publish. I’ll keep you posted.

Have a great weekend!
