I pulled out some tools I haven't used in a while; my stencils and vintage alphabet stamps. Having my trusty friends around me helped spark my creativity in a way that the crummy weather has not. I dig this Scout and feel his confidence. This gang looks ready to rule the world. You are, you …
The Great British Baking Showing is my jam (ha!). Well, day two of making Christmas cards is at least feeling a little more festive. Snow has a way of doing that. I won't bring out the balsam candles and candy canes just yet (let's get through next week, shall we? I will be setting up …
It's been brutally hot here these past few weeks, but now we're having some relief. And with that relief has come a creative flash! I even organized my stamped images, a great excuse to use my label maker! I know I've shared this before, but I love using and matching up scraps and bits to …
I love that what I create is all one-of-a-kind. No two items are alike (well, almost no two items). This gives me the freedom to express whatever I'm feeling, no need to seek perfection, because each item is perfect exactly because it is an original. Sometimes, my vision isn't quite what a customer is …
It can be very satisfying to complete a project, especially if you think you don't have time to do it. That was today. I made time to do, not only, what I wanted to, but also (most of) what I needed to. Ahhh, the joys of adulthood. Here's to hoping you can also find the …
Honest post time. Sometimes there is just not enough time in the day. I was hoping to get this new batch of fabulously sparkly garlands finished in time to photograph today, but that is not happening. I did all my real life stuff like groceries, shopping for work clothes, picking up a prescription, gassing up …
Can you believe we got another 15 inches of snow? -- Not kidding. March in New Hampshire is weird. Anyway, that kinda meant I was snowed in for the day. Yoga was cancelled, so I'm not missing a week, and because I live in an awesome small town, I was able to walk to my …
It's finally March! It does my heart good to see the snow melting and the red wing black birds at the feeders. I could do without seeing a winter's worth of Miss Thora's morning constitutionals when I open the front door, but . . . Spring is a process, just like everything else. We started …
You know what they say about the weather in New Hampshire? If you don't like it, wait five minutes. Or a day, because yesterday it hit 70 degrees, and today it is snowing. Hard to see through the jungle, but trust me, it's happening. It is February, so it's okay that it's snowing, it's supposed …
It snowed yesterday, a lot. And a lot of snow means a lot of shoveling. Just so you know, I love to shovel, I don't know why, I just do. Maybe it's the meditative nature of the solitude, the push and scrape of the shovel on the ground, the strength I feel with every shovel …
