So a couple weeks ago I said I had some good news. Well, *I* thought it was good news at least. Took me awhile to post because I was waiting on some supplies to finish my class. FINALLY got my act together. So the news? I am coming out of [...]

Every year Oliver’s school library displays the children’s pumpkins….all dressed up like Childrens’ Books’ Characters. You may remember last year’s, Cargo and Woot. This year we were a little pressed for time. We actually picked the characters by ease of pumpkin modification rather than favorite characters, although we really do like both [...]

Totally overwhelmed (IN A GOOD WAY!) by Kal’s class at Inspired. Really have been giving a lot of thought to art since then and have been wanting some formal training.
After just having moved to the east coast from Colorado in the 7th grade (TOTALLY TRAUMATIC!), [...]

Okay, so one (of many) of the surprise gifties I’ve been working on FINALLY will make an appearance on the blog.
These were to be some Mother’s Day presents — my mum and I both loved ours even though they weren’t surprises. Well, hers sort of was a surprise. We had a great time at Oliver’s school making them [...]

I’m actually posting art tonight! HOLY CRAP COW! So I have been working on a ton of stuff lately. All super-secret gifts of course. Driving me mad. *I* do so love seeing my child’s face, but I’m thinking it might be growing thin for some of my readership. Well, suck it up, here comes some [...]

Do you ever feel like your mind races at such a pace that even a cheetah would be frightened? Seriously, that’s why I don’t sleep. 24 hours is NOT ENOUGH time in the day. Then factor in “sleep”. Phhhwor. “Oh, hey, yeah, you forgot to do that thing, don’t forget, do it first thing in [...]

…January 8th’s class posted….as promised. Needle felting added to your scrap projects. In a handy dandy little wall hanging.
Mine’s a little funky, but that’s what I like. Hopefully those of you who aren’t into fake dreads and weird little orange hats can see past that and think of something fabulous to hang on your wall. [...]
