I don’t really even know how long I’ve “known” Tara Swiger. I met her online probably when Twitter was starting to get big, and she was a yarn producer getting ready to quit her day job and follow her passion. In the years since she became a full-time yarn maker, then started sharing her secrets […]
Stalled Out
I’ve been trying to write a blog post for days about the creative letdown that comes after a really big accomplishment, like writing a book. Or at least it comes for me. Even though I finished my part of the book months ago, having it in my hands, knowing its a real thing out in […]
No Time to Create {One Little Word}
It actually doesn’t come as that much of a surprise to me that I’ve kind of washed out of One Little Word. It’s hard for me to focus on anything — even when it’s just one little thing — for a whole month, let alone a whole year. I think I did really well for […]

Why I Do What I Do {One Little Word}
My focus for One Little Word this month is supposed to be “creating meaning.” I’m not sure I even know what that means, let alone how to do it. On the back of my card I designed earlier in the year, I wrote down a few questions: What is meaningful creation? How can you create […]
