Remember how I talked about my period before? And you were so happy when that post was over, because who wants to hear about me go on and on about my period? Whoops. Here comes another mention of my ol’ aunt Flo. Today I had hideously awful cramps. Usually when that happens I just hide …
Today I was thinking about polka dots and how much I love them. My favorite shape is a circle, so when you get a bunch of them all lined up in a cute pattern, I’m a happy girl. I also really polka music, but that’s a painting for another day. I also really loved that …
Today I painted a good friend of mine, my sewing machine. I love to sew and make things. I only really learned how about 11 years ago. Before that, I had kind of tinkered around, but I had never really finished a successful pattern. Before I had my darling dearest machine, I had a perfectly …
Can we get personal? I mean, I feel like we are at that point in our relationship. I’ve been doing this thing for 21 days. My period started today. As I was thinking about what to paint, I immediately thought of my Diva Cup. Listen, that thing makes me so happy! Since we have already …
When my husband saw what I was painting this morning, he looked at me and said, “Oooh! This is a special one.” My kids came into my work room and started jumping up and down and getting very excited. I am a huge Bee Gees fan. The Bee Gees are my go to pick me …

Today Mexican embroidery did, so here we are. I have always loved the brightly colored embroidered shirts and dresses from Mexico. The brilliant motifs …
Are we the ONLY people with a land line at this point? You may not know this about me, but I am incredibly neurotic. Especially when it comes to my kids. I have an incredible imagination when it comes to the hideous things that could befall the people I love. Having a real telephone in …
Well, I’ve been at this for a little over two weeks. I feel like every post I make is an after thought. GUYS! I used to be a good writer. Like, really! But now I feel like my writing is the equivalent of bashful people getting up to talk at the front of the class. …
This is a painting of Jerry Orbach as Lenny Briscoe. A character I love, played by an actor I love. He was on the original Law & Order series, a series that I will stop and watch whenever I can find it. An episode with Lenny Briscoe is a special thing indeed. No one delivers …
So my name means Honey Bee, and I was born in the beehive state. Coincidence? Probably. But it’s made me partial to honey bees and honey bee imagery. The name Melissa comes from Greek origins, the wikipedia page on it was pretty all over the place. All I know is that when my parents went …
