I wish I could say I’ve been busy doing super cool things, but mostly I’ve been either at the office or the dentist or reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar to a very hungry fifteen-month-old. I’ve neglected the Internet, my weekly manicure ritual, and routine art making. Can’t win ’em all. Get Messy Art Journal | Brave, Weeks 1-3 I finally carved out a little time last night to finish…

Today: Making room for creativity.
I first started blogging in 2006 or 2007 because I was feeling a bit stuck and needed a creative outlet that didn’t require expensive supplies or an expansive workspace. I’ve always gravitated toward writing and other forms of expression and thrive when I have projects…

Today: Floral Arranging 101 (Week 2)
Our assigned project for the second week of Nicole’s Classes Floral Arranging 101 was a “wild English garden” arrangement. I fell a bit short when it came to sourcing flowers and greens (hello… bamboo?), but I tried to follow directions as best I could to…
