Yesterday was the second day of my bow making class. I already had my bow design drawn out on my stave and so I began to shape the bow itself. I am making a flat bow, which has a more defined handle after which the bow flares out before tapering down to the ends. I... Continue Reading →
Hello Everyone! This week I am taking a bow making class at the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship, an awesome school for woodworking located in Rockport, Maine. Yesterday was the first day of class. After a lecture on the safe handling of equipment and not smoking near the hazardous materials, we began by splitting a log... Continue Reading →
Today, I wanted to write a little about my history with playing a musical instrument. I began playing the piano when I was five years old, which was far too young and I quickly grew frustrated and disappointed and quit, but only for a brief period. I started playing the piano again when I was... Continue Reading →
Hello everyone! I know it's been a whole week since I posted anything and I assure you there's a good reason for that: I've been at a Bluegrass Festival. We left last Wednesday to go to Greyfox Bluegrass Festival in Oak Hill, New York, so Tuesday was spent packing and generally running around frantically like... Continue Reading →
Today I want to talk about shame, specifically about body shame. I can't tell you how many times I've heard a woman say, "Oh, I just need to loose ten more pounds."

Not to mention working, writing, and... Continue Reading →

Let me just say up front, that this is a post about periods. You have been warned, if you don't want to read all the gory details, I give you full permission to stop reading now. My feelings won't be hurt if you do. However, I think that periods need to be talked about in... Continue Reading →
My very busy week went very well. On Friday, the band played at the Union Farmers Market. It was a gorgeous afternoon, warm, but not too hot, with a lovely breeze. We played on a green in the shade of a tree. I think I like playing outdoors the best. It makes me feel so... Continue Reading →
This week has been insane. I've started a new job - which is great. I'm happy to be working. I'm happy to be paid to be working. And on top of getting paid, I'm getting paid to write. It's technical writing, but still writing is writing and a job is a job. And it's a... Continue Reading →
