Maker Monday

I made this album for my cousin. It took a couple weeks but I love the way it turned out.

I hope she likes it. Until next time, stay healthy.

Stuff

Posted on April 17, 2024 by Linda Andrews

Recently, we started watching a guy that explores abandoned places, usually with the owner’s stuff still in place.

Sure, sometimes the guy does paranormal investigations, but the thing I find most horrifying is the amount of stuff left behind.

These are treasures of loved ones—photographs, cards, and mementos of a life lived that are left to rot in place.

Then I look around and realize—I’ve got a lot of stuff.

Part of me thinks it’s time to clean house, but then I remember I am a dragon and this is my treasure horde. Bwahahaha.

Until next time, stay healthy.

Abandonment issues

Posted on April 15, 2024 by Linda Andrews

Here I go again. Abandoning a writing project because it is associated with the death of a loved one.

I hate that I am letting it go, but there is too much association with the pain of my sister’s passing.

I tell myself that I can always come back to it later, maybe when the pain isn’t so much shattered glass.

But I don’t know if it is true.

And frankly, giving up writing is also a thought that I am seriously considering.

Although, I think I have decided to continue to write. I am not sure what it will look like.

Until next time, stay healthy.

Today there will be a solar eclipse across much of the US. And I am happy to say that I will be able to see some of it.

Can’t wait.

Until next time.

Decoupage

Posted on April 3, 2024 by Linda Andrews

Here is a gift I made for my niece. It was my first time decoupaging. I love Stamperia’s steampunk papers.

Front of the book
Spine of the book
Back of the book
Interior of the book

Lots of room for improvement, and I will definitely be trying again.

Until next time.
