There is much I could say about 2025, but want to end the year on a positive note. I made a lot of art this year! So much printmaking & pieces I am really proud of. I learned several new techniques (my favorite thing) & have pieces in an upcoming gallery show. Be safe tonight and Happy New Year!

I just loaded a roll of expired Fujicolor Pro 400H in my Hasselblad 500c. It has probably been 10 years since I've shot a roll of film, so yes, I had to give myself a bit of a refresher course on how this beast works. #hasselblad #shootfilm #expiredthingsinmyfridge

I was doing laundry. Then I thought I should water my plants. I'm not sure why I went into the garage, but now I have set up my old Click & Grow Smart Garden. Who thinks these 4 year old seed pods still have life in them?? Did I eat breakfast? Why did I go into the garage?

I voted today! Got to the local library 10 mins before the polls closed at 4pm. My ballot was number 816 and people were still filing in as I left. The poll worker said it had been busy all day and they were running out of stickers. Go vote tomorrow! We are not going back! Harris/Watz FTW

Hey @trickweekes.bsky.social - I just finished reading The Palace Job and wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed it. It was such a fun read and kept me completely stressed out until the end! Loved the characters and can't wait to read the next book.

Finished my Georgia O’Keeffe cross stitch! The piece is 8x8”, 30 colors, and 12,544 stitches! The pattern was made from a painting I did years ago that is now hanging in my mother-in-law’s house. The painting was a “quick sketch” of a photograph Alfred Stieglitz took of O’Keeffe in 1918.

I have been searching everywhere in my house looking for a bag of sewing notions and came across this old Magnetic Poetry Kit with this poem on the lid. I was snapped back in time to when my migraines where so very bad and all my art was head/pain themed. #migrainessuck #theartwasgood #poem

Lid of Magnetic Poetry Kit with the following poem:

I worship at the feet
of a thousand headaches
I cry
mad running
show me
how to please

Our week with Eric is over and the house is way too quiet. I can't image anyone one else who could stay with you for a week and at the end you still don't want them to leave! We had a chill week of doing a lot of nothing and it was perfect. Oh, and we met in 9th grade, not 10th! My memory is shit.
