Thursday September 4, 2014. I sit under the city of Oslo, Norway at this moment. It is the oldest bar in Norway. They gave me my first introduction to Oslo, brought me to the pub where I would be playing in 2 days, introduced me to Une, our promoter and bartend.

Scrumble in Red Heart yarn. My very first attempt at freefrom crochet. There was enough family drama to fuel several soap operas, and I felt it was too much trouble to post positive stuff when my entire world fell apart. Posted in Arts and Craft.

Lovable screw-up all of the time. And quite the handsome guy. Here he is today out on the sunporch where he spends most of his time. I ended the torture of taking his picture when he rolled over and begged me to rub his tummy. He knows how to work me. The taxes are in the mail! I thin.

I am Kathleen Joyce Figueroa or KAT JOY. I began my design career very early on, starting with painting signs and walls murals. Early on I discovered my knack for drawing people, as well as pretty much anything at all. This led me to complete my education at CSU Long Beach with a Bachelors of Art Degree in Drawing and Painting.
