Inspired by…
On this very chilly Alaska night, I was at a bit of a loss for what to do. There was an interesting, but depressing show on PBS about the dust bowl years of the 1930's. The book I'm reading is kind of a downer about the psychological cost of creating soldiers & sending them off

Felt Ornaments
Hoot! This girl-owl was made by my friend Meg. Love that little flower on her ear. :) We had a 'making felt things' get-together last weekend, which gave me a great excuse to buy some nice wool felt. Turns out that a 1/2 yard of every color is waaay more than a person needs to

Range Gallery
This gorgeous print (titled: Afternoon at El Tapatio) is the only souvenir I brought back from Colorado. While we were exploring Manitou Springs, we stopped in this great little gallery & met the proprietor, Kathleen McFadden. I'm always so happy to see a woman earning her living in a creative field! Her work is really

Manitou Springs
The Peeps! That's the name of this public art display by Liz Szabo in the cute town of Manitou Springs, Colorado.

The Art Hermit & a Curious Chicken

Bees, birds, interesting connections & a wonderfully spooky story.
The Jardin box on the bottom is the one I mentioned yesterday as the "before" of my project. When I saw them at Michael's, I really loved the shape & they were a great $ deal. {About $4 each I think?} I knew the word on the box was French, but actually had to look

Blowin’ in the Wind
What a nice surprise! I received a email this evening from fellow Etsy seller, Judy at Key West Designing, letting me know that she included my girl in her treasury. Thanks, Judy! ♥

Wedding Buttons
I spent the holiday weekend celebrating with my friends at their wedding! The weather was perfect -a relief since the ceremony and reception were both outside. The ceremony was beautiful, relaxed, funny in parts. It all came together so wonderfully. The photo above is the button bouquet she carried. It was made by Letters4Lilly out

Good to Remember
Even though others may not support you,Even though the world doubts you,Even though you feel like you haven’t made much progress,Even though that person over there seems to be running down her path with total ease,Even though it seems no one sees you,Even though you are unsure, You just keep on…Follow that map imprinted on

A Treasure in the Mail
Look what came today! This wonderful little sculpture by Julie Thompson is my Round Robin surprise. I just love it. Actually, I love all of Julie's art and she's got the warmest spirit too. I feel so lucky to have met her at Art Nest and I keep eyeing her workshops. I want to take
