Our ministry on campus is up and running! (we feel out of breath from it, too)
We just had our first meeting on Thursday which had a wonderful live band (different one each week), some funny advice from the crowd upper classmen to freshman…and then I gave a short talk kicking off the year. If you’d like to actually watch it – go HERE!
Doesn’t it feel like Summer up and left without saying goodbye? How rude. I’m a high-closure gal and I’d like a little more from Summer. A funny day this summer was when we found this little baby (days old!) bunny. Tricky: trying to allow Robby to enjoy this little cutie but also protecting this little one’s very life from a big accidental squoosh from my son….eek. Don’t worry, I maintained the perfect balance and everyone is alive.

I recently sold one of my favorite pieces I’ve made: Pink Dress. I wasn’t prepared to be sad, but I was. I really liked it and I had to mourn it’s leaving. But now it rests in a great home with a great owner who has loved it for a long time. So long, sweet thing:

I cannot seem to getaway from lovely ladies, fashion, fabric, curves….soft stuff. Speaking of Soft – I am sharing an artshow at Madhouse Gallery on Thursday night, September 10 from 6-8 titled that very thing: Soft. Go HERE for all the details. I am sharing the show with printmaker Michelle Carlson who does beautiful girly work, too.
Should be a night filled with frilly yummy desserts and decadent art. Please come! Our art will then hang for 2 months and is available for purchase. Here’s a sneak peak – Fall Fashion:

The BGSU Fall Semester has started! We kicked it off with our first Cru weekly Thursday night meeting with 250 plus students last night. To refresh you, I work with Cru on campus: a spiritual organization that is designed for the spiritual seeker or the religiously restless….no religious affiliation needed…but we do run our thoughts through a Christian worldview as we look at life. I had the opportunity to speak and talk about the journey of this year. I left them with 2 thoughts:
Thought One: You do not have to travel alone.
Thought Two: Your journey matters.
So….bring on Autumn with your apple pies, jeans, pumpkins and s’mores.
Here’s a recent shot of Sophia and Robby last week assessing their next move:

This guy is destined for crazy hair – what a looker! It’s gotten blonder and funkier this summer…gotta love it.

Don’t you just love the zoo? I feel like I am reliving my childhood over again as I raise my son. I thought I might have to become more adult once I became a mom. But I actually have to become more childlike…..it’s a beautiful twist.
