Have you ever used a Cat’s Tongue brush? I use them all the time and they are my absolute favorite brush type for painting watercolors. When I started painting, no one ever talked about it. The clear front runners were …
This feels like the first real winter in a while. Like snow stays on the ground and no thawing. I always feel the need to get out and walk around after it snows. One, because besides peak summer, Buffalo looks best cove…
But this time in-person. Cookie decorating with my family, Christmas Eve with both e:Paul and my family and then hosting e:Paul's relatives for a big famy party.

Wednesday e:paul was working so I had time to wander by myself. It's weird because I can't say I've ever really spent any traveling alone before. A big plus in not having to form consensus on where to eat or what to do …
Tuesday night we tried to go on a ride with the Chicago EUC(Electric Unicycle) group. e:paul and I tried to get used to riding in big city traffic before taking the train to the meetup spot. On the way from the L stop t…
