Valentines Day

  • Valentine’s Bug

    Happy Valentine's Day!  My favorite.  :)  It's become a bit of a tradition for me to bring a little heart-shaped box of chocolates to each of my coworkers on Valentine's Day.  But there's one woman there who really isn't a fan of sweets.  Every year when I'm passing out the treats, I'm at a loss

  • Finally, some crafty business!

    My friend had a crafty valentine's party today, which kicked me out of my creative lull.  It wasn't for lack of inspiration that I haven't been making things–but because I injured my back a few weeks ago!  In fact, I had to cancel the art show I'd been scheduled to hang for February.  Sad!  Having

  • Valentines Leftovers

    Have you guys seen these foam kit things?  They seem to appear at Michael's for every holiday.  With absolutely no practical use, and not really being a piece of fine art you'd want to keep – I know I shouldn't want one.  They must appeal to the kid in me though, because I always find

What I can tell you is that I made a couple new paintings today.  I'm still really enjoying these tiny watercolor papers.After finishing this little blue dress, I had an

  • Valentine’s Candy

    I ♥ Necco hearts.  Especially the yellow & white ones.  But for some real decadence, check out these creations by Vosges Haut Chocolat.  I'm actually not a big chocolate fan, but these are very different.  +I'm a sucker for everything they do with their packaging.  Isn't that purple heart wonderful?  They publish a great catalog

  • Valentine’s Cookies

    First, let me say how much I love this Pearl Dust!  After the background icing is set up & before you start with the other details, just take a soft paint brush and dust it all over the cookie.  It gives them this lovely sheen. This is my favorite house ~ the little heart shingles
