Wearing Pants on my Head
An Identity Crisis
Welcome to The Nibbler by me, Jill Myer, a bi-weekly brief focusing on art, inspiration, creativity, snacks, and joy.
Hello, my Sugar Snap Peas Slathered in Ranch,
Happy Tuesday and Happy Warm Sunny Days!
The weather is finally changing into something not damp here on the coast, and it’s been divine!
We had our rotting mushroom growing platform replaced last fall. To make the space more usable, our contractor built me a small bench that is directly in a sunbeam from about 1-4pm each day. I’ve been eating my lunch out here and dragging my laptop outside as well when I can get away with it.
(*Please note all typos are due to the large clods of pollen wedged into my keyboard.)
Roxy is not opposed either!
Roxy and I just got home from a few days away, and it was the most lovely break. Below are photos and sketches from our trip.
Let’s dive into this ranch dip!

Wearing Pants on my Head
An Identity Crisis.
Identity is a funny thing, and reprogramming one's identity can feel like an impossible task. Shifting out of a comfort zone and into a new skin can feel exactly like that. Like removing one's skin with a carrot peeler and then trying to sew a new identity in place, it's wildly uncomfortable, even painful. It might take years for the new skin to fit properly—which is why it puts the lotion on the skin. Ha.
MY CURRENT FAVORITE SNACK
Do you have friends or family who regularly travel to Hawaii? Ask for these!
The dark chocolate ones are my favorite.
✨GLIMMER HUNTING✨
There is something intensely special about spring rain. While there is a lot of it, it feels different than the oppressive winter deluge. The spring rain feels lighter and more friendly.

Trip photos and sketches.
We hiked Icicle Creek Gourge near Levenworth, WA. and had the opportunity to stay in the most delightful and lovely cabin in the woods. It was so quiet and blissful.
