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…

Slow Work
God is doing a slow work in me. So many days it feels like nothing is happening. Like my life, which once seemed so useful and productive, is making zero impact on the world. The days when life was defined by an impressive string of accomplishments are lost somewhere at the bottom of the laundry…
Paper Doll and Song: Stargirl
This week, Rosie decided to make a “space girl,” so I was inspired to illustrate a character from a song that I wrote several years ago called Stargirl and Moonboy. It is a sweet little love song that Randy and I recorded here at the house. I play accordion, and he plays guitar, bass, and Irish…
