Four years ago today, Randy and I had a dream come true moment. Do you remember this? In 2011, we started an indiegogo campaign to raise money to record The Seven Year Scratch (later titled Home), an album of love and family songs we had written to one another over the course of our relationship….

Miss Blackbird Pie
In honor of Pi Day, I made a pie dolly today. She is based on the old nursery rhyme: Sing a song of sixpence, a pocket full of rye 4 and 20 blackbirds, baked in a pie When the pie was opened, the birds began to sing Wasn’t that a dainty dish to set before…

Exciting things happening this week in the paper doll club. Today we have a special guest artist! She is a nine-year-old girl who loves to draw and color. Her name is Gwyneth, and she was inspired by a movie called Song of the Sea (one of our favorites, by the way), and she drew two…

Make Something Every Day: Week 3
