About Me

I fantasize about dancing all night at the clubs, but the truth is I'm a stay-at-home mom who has trouble staying awake past 10pm. I imagine playing fiddle in a bluegrass band, but I can't seem to get my old high school violin in tune. I'd like to take an improv class, build a labyrinth and a rope bridge in my yard, throw killer parties...someday. I finally decided that I still want to be an architect, just without all the stress. I haven't actually designed anything since college, so I'll be working on my portfolio for the next couple of years (in-between poopy daipers and potty training). ADDENDUM NO. 1: I've been drawing more lately. You can see some of my art in my pics. I've also started writing again. Check out my blog for poems and art. ADDENDUM NO. 2: My kids are potty-trained now, for the most part. I've been working hard on my website (click on the pretty coffee cup to check it out). I've just started selling my art through Cafepress. And I have the most awesome Myspace friends ever! Thank you everyone for your support!

Lines of a Woman, part 3: Lying on Leather

I just love the scent of leather. I’m experimenting a little with my scanner. Can you smell it from where you are?...
