Return to the Void
I’ve been away. I’m sure it made little difference to you, the dark corner that I shout into at random intervals, but I’ve finally returned. …although I make no guarantees of consistent posting. It’s been just under a year since we last had this pleasure so I do believe an update is in order. First…

Sunshine and Math
I’ve started to adjust to my new schedule as a full time employee. On one hand, it is very nice to have a reliable paycheck that comfortably covers the bills and the “labor” is not actually strenuous working as a file clerk. On the other hand, it is tedious and boring and I miss the…

Slowly but Surely
As I write this, I have been in an abnormal amount of pain. I’ve had issues with carpal tunnel for several years, but recently I took it to a whole new level by developing tendonitis in my wrist and hand (dominant hand of course). After 3 days of alternating between brace and sling, with heating…

New Years 2024
The new year has begun, and currently it is filled to bursting with the promises of new beginnings and opportunities. Baby bunnies are abundant and I have hyped myself up for all of the grand projects I intend to do. For a long time I struggled with New Year’s resolutions, but I’ve discovered the last few…

A Leap of Faith
I quit my job of 2.5 years this month. I will not bore you with the details of why. I will also not beg for the pity of the internet. I merely need a moment to put things in perspective for myself. In the past three or so months that I’ve been job hunting, I’ve…

Artistic Ego
“How would you describe yourself?” the hiring manager asked. With adjectives, my brian insisted while my mouth opened and answered, “In flattering detail, glossing over my flaws and generous vague nondescript commentary on observable features.” Then I stopped daydreaming and admitted that my answer to this question has always been, “Hardworking and a team player.” …

A Busy Time
I write from the depths of exhaustion today. I have been working on getting rabbits bred and getting them set up for winter while, also juggling two jobs and spending my weekends working at a festival (of which I still have two more weekends to go). Needless to say, I’ve been a bit busy. Despite…

Big Steps
If I’ve queued this correctly, this post should be coming to you just a couple of days after my wedding. As I’m currently writing this, it is a fast approaching date. I’m excited and looking forward to what this will bring to my life. I’m grateful to have someone in my world who supports me…

Hard Decisions
If you would indulge me to go on a personal ramble for a moment, I seem to have come upon a sort of crossroads in my life. Thus far I have been in a balancing act between a day job, and my two big hobbies: raising rabbits and making handmade paper and books. I think…

Once Upon a Time,
I grew up a farm girl…starting at the ripe age of 13. Following the parental retirement from the military, we moved to the family farm. It’s a quaint sum of land in southeastern Missouri where my grandfather raised cattle, occasionally chickens, a couple of horses, and for a long time: rabbits. Time passed and this…
