This past christmas, hubbins presented me with the world's heaviest gift. After carrying it around now I can definitely testify to its gravitational pull, but at the time its sheer weight made it oh so perplexing. We go to the Antique Fair in Allegan a few times from Spring to Fall and he knew I'd been looking for a cute typewriter, nothing too big, actually working. Opening this big box...

Everybody has something that makes them happy that may not be the most practical of things. Maybe making models *ahem Mr*, or collecting plates, or maybe cute vinyl toys. I might beguilty of that last one too. My small obsession is pretty appropriate considering who I am and what brings me joy. I collect vintage wall mounted pencil sharpeners. What makes these completely...

 I'm singing it from the roof tops, today is the 6th Birthday of Some Odd Girl!I guess you could call it the 6th anniversary of my career as a professional artist.I'm not going to lead you to believe that its been all a song and dance (I can't stop the puns), but its been quite an adventure. Many ups, many downs, a ton of learning and learning things I didn't think I'd ever need to....

Every one is incredibly busy these days. Busy has become almost a badge of honor, like some kind of martyrist ideal. I don't know about you, but I really love the time I carve out when its just me, maybe the Mr, my cats and I can watch one of my historical documentaries or other girly shows that no one else wants to watch but me.You know which ones I mean.Beingso damn busy, being everything to...

Today I want to share my personal and professional goals for 2016.I like goals vs resolutions because they seem more like actionable plans. I'm a list maker and love checking things off, it gives you those little rewards of accomplishment along the way that are motivating to keep checking them off and goals work with that quite well. Each year I pick my "one little word" and create goals to...

For a while I've been struggling with what to post on my blog on a regular basis. There's a bunch of seemingly disparate things going on around here that I didn't think I could figure out a way to make sense of posting without a rhyme or reason. Sunday it dawned on me while looking at my blog, which I had redone last month with a new tag line, Arts and Crafts. It seems pretty simple and pretty...

Monday always seems the busiest but here are my goals for the rest of the week: Finish my writing my to-dos for the entire week (this afternoon!) Set up my project planner Meal Plan and Groc shop for the week zen and get my drawing on for the coming...

I thought after doing my big post in November I'd do a monthly update on how things are going. I really didn't realize that my post would bring so much support or I'd get so many reaching out and thanking me for sharing, as it helped them as well. I'm really glad that was the unintended side effect of my story. Since then I've continued on my script for my hormone imbalance. I'm not sure...

September and October were very tough months for me. If you're a regular reader and remember my Life of an Entrepreneur post, I mentioned a "nugget" that I said I'd talk more in depth about later when I finally addressed it on my own. Well I've finally started. At the beginning of September I spoke to my physician about an issue I've been shelving since my son was born 7 years ago. I think...
