My Process.

Posted on November 21, 2011 by BrassyDel

I thought I’d give you guys a little backstage peek at the Brassy Blog. Obviously, posts need to start with an idea. I go through phases of having lots of ideas, or not even thinking about potential ideas. A lot of culling actually starts at the idea phase. I follow about two dozen blogs and another dozen webcomics, so I…

Words.

I haven’t had much to say lately. Scratch that; I’ve had a lot to say recently, and that’s almost as bad. First, I’ve been reading a lot of clinical and laboratory research, either scientific literature or educated discourse about it, and it leaves my head full. To process it, I ramble. Add to that, I’ve been making a lot of progress…

New Toys

Posted on October 12, 2011 by BrassyDel

Quick on the heels of telling you all about how I was going to try harder to focus entirely on whatever moment I’m in, we went out and bought a multi-tasking tool. That’s business-speak for “we bought an iPad and now I can surf Pinterest from the toilet couch“. I’ve been saving up my pennies for a tablet and so…

Spotted!

Hello Brassy Pals, and welcome to any new friends coming over from Jenny on the Spot today! Just a quick note that I have a guest post up at JotS today, and it has sparkles, so go check it out!

Quit

Posted on October 5, 2011 by BrassyDel

Sometimes I want to quit. No, scratch that. Sometimes I think I should quit. Quit blogging. Quit drawing. Quit writing. Because if I did, then I would have more time to focus on my family, on my kids while they are this little. Time to focus on those priorities without being distracting by making time to stick to an update…

Where Are They Now?

Posted on September 22, 2011 by BrassyDel

Apparently, it is now Autumn. And almost October. Just yesterday? The middle of August. I have no idea where those last few weeks went. Somewhere in there, Chappy got bigger. Heck, even Pixie has grown a little (no, I’m sure she has! Maybe?). Chappy started crawling, then proceeded swiftly to sitting up by himself, and then instantly to pulling himself…

Shape Ups

Posted on August 22, 2011 by BrassyDel

I’m sorry, guys: this is another post about shoes. Look, I said I was sorry! Anway, these aren’t silly, frilly, shiny, toe-mashing, achy-foot-making, shoes. These are my Sketcher’s Shape Ups, and I love them. I’ve been reading about these suckers for awhile, and I finally broke down recently and bought them. Of course, I paid $80 for them and just…

Squoosh.

Squish. Squash. I have squash! Yellow summer squash and plump, green zucchini. I actually let them get a bit too big before harvesting. In my defense, they were hiding in their squashy, leafy bundles. Now I just need to find a good recipe for zucchini bread, preferably gluten free. And if it freezes well, even better! How do you love…

What a Sweet Little Tomato She is

Posted on August 15, 2011 by BrassyDel

After carefully rescuing them from the forest of weeds wildflowers, I was delighted to find some small, green tomatoes growing in the garden. Hubbles may think they are evil, a sort of dastardly poison fruit, but I love tomatoes. I will eat them raw, broiled, sliced with salt, in salads, on sandwiches, in eggs, et cetra, et cetra. They’re almost…
