Back with my Stitch Obsession

July 20, 2017 JolleyLeave a comment

It’s official. I’m obsessed with Cross Stitch yet again. I left this hobbie untouched for many years as I focused on other creative pursuits like painting, drawing, metal work and sewing. I’ve come to accept though that painting is no longer my main obsession. I think painting and I have broken up. It was hard,… Continue reading Back with my Stitch Obsession

Toby, Tudor & Duke

July 7, 2017 JolleyLeave a comment

I wrote a post back in April (Home Renovation & a Puppy) announcing the arrival of our new puppy whom we decided to name Duke. He has grown quite a bit since then. He is very loving with lots of energy. I caught this picture of him in a calm moment in our living room.… Continue reading Toby, Tudor & Duke

Daydreams and Pencils

June 5, 2017 JolleyLeave a comment

Lately I’ve been daydreaming of my artwork, the work I was so heavily immersed in just 5 short years ago. Painting and drawing was my thing. I rarely make time for drawing these days and I always find my way back to it knowing that I will always be a maker of some sorts. Even… Continue reading Daydreams and Pencils

Renovation & a Pup

May 21, 2017 Jolley1 Comment

We moved. We’ve unpacked. Actually we are still unpacking. The renovation has begun. We are painting and stripping wallpaper and pulling up the carpet. It’s exhausting and exhilarating. We’ve just about set up our kitchen, bedroom and our closet and the t.v. Our couches are underneath drop clothes so we’ve been sitting on green plastic… Continue reading Renovation & a Pup

No Instructions

It is morning here on my side of the United States. I am sitting by the window on the tenth floor of the hotel we are staying in. We were lucky to get a view of the ocean this time. A pelican is diving for fish below. I watch as it flies high into the… Continue reading No Instructions

Making Connections

April 20, 2017 JolleyLeave a comment

What does it take to make a break through in a new place? Whether it is in a job or a new town. How long does it take to get to know someone and make a connection? Before I met my husband and decided to travel the world I worked for a coffee company. I… Continue reading Making Connections

Out and About

April 12, 2017 JolleyLeave a comment

Out and about I’ve discovered new spots for lunch and dinner in the southern town where I now reside and plant of galleries that support local artists and a museum across the bay. In my continued quest to eat gluten and dairy free, sometimes it’s just plain difficult. So, most of the time I eat… Continue reading Out and About

I moved to the South

April 4, 2017 JolleyLeave a comment

It’s been one week since I got married and left on a road trip with my husband. That term, husband still feels strange to say and to read. In truth, I love to say it. We are newly-weds! We are excited to create new adventures. We now live down south.  As with any change there… Continue reading I moved to the South

Late Nights & Wedding Plans

March 15, 2017March 15, 2017 JolleyLeave a comment

I’m up late again. The last two weeks night after night I can’t seem to make it to bed earlier then 11:30. When I was working my daily schedule was consistent. In bed by 8:30 and up the next day at 5:00 to workout before heading to the office. Some nights I’d stay up till… Continue reading Late Nights & Wedding Plans

Window Conversations

February 12, 2017 Jolley2 Comments

Every morning my Dad walks into the living room and stands in front of the big window. He looks out over the back yard. In our old house, the house that I grew up in, there was a bigger window to look out of and vast property. The property now is confined by a fence… Continue reading Window Conversations
