This is a blog about living a creative life with a job on the side. It's about being an artist or craftsman, having a day job, and living the dream despite it all. It's about how to survive your day and increase your creativity. It's for writers and dancers and graphic artists and musicians, for scrapbookers and knitters and beadworkers. It's for anyone who has to go to work instead of staying home in the studio.
