You Do You, Boo (And I’ll Keep Making Weird AI Art)

Everyone needs something they do that feeds their soul without worrying if it’s “good enough.” And if the trolls don’t approve, just remember—they’re the ones who are missing out.

Narrowing My Focus

I’ve been busy and trying to do all the things, so it’s time to slow down again and focus on what’s next.

Some weeks, we crawl instead of walk

I felt slower than usual this week, but still ended up with some cool things for my readers and knitting customers. And I got to be social, too.

Peaks and Valleys

When the blahs happen two weeks a month, it’s not just depression… Also, update on my slow productivity mission, what I did this week in my business (hint: knitting pattern update), and some sad news about my grandmother.
