This project has been all over Pinterest lately, and I thought I’d put my spin on it. I used an 8 x 10 shadow box and backed it with a simple piece of kraft paper. I then sketched on the image ...
It’s been a while since I had something new in my Etsy shop, so I’m pretty excited about this! I think they go perfectly with the whole Colorblock trend that’s so big right now. Let...
As with the vast majority of my projects lately, this one was inspired by something I saw on Pinterest. I thought this thumbtack wall design was just about the coolest thing ever, and wanted to make ...
I was so excited to dye Easter Eggs this year. I haven’t done it in a few years, but I found a link to this site on Pinterest and was inspired! You may have noticed I said I WAS so excited. Pas...
It’s gotten so warm here in Memphis, it really feels like Spring is upon us! Here is a collection of pretty things to make and buy this Spring. 1) I have to admit, I’m obsessed with Zara ...
I bought this giant frame on clearance at Hobby Lobby several years ago. It took me a while to figure out what to do with it, but eventually I bought a piece of plexiglass and cut a mat to fit eight ...
I first did a tutorial about how to make these Retro Eyeglass Pillowcases about a year ago. Since then, I’ve received a pretty steady string of request of people wanting to just buy them instea...
This print was made by Miranda Lyn of ProjectType on Etsy. Check out her awesome shop! And in honor of Dr. Seuss, be extra nice to people today!
Hiya folks! I’ve added a few new followers recently, so I thought I’d check in and make sure that everyone knows where to find me on all of the other lovely social media and crafty websi...
I had planned on writing about a project I did based on this tutorial I found on Pinterest, but WOW… it was an epic failure. Just to save you the heartache (and wasted t-shirt), you can NOT use...
A few months ago, a friend of mine posted on facebook that she signed up for the Rozelle Artists Guild Project Sketchbook. I checked out the website, and having just signed up for that class, figured...
This idea came to me today at work after I saw this pin. I have an old atlas that I’ve been using for craft projects, and I came up with this little project. My first thought was to do somethin...
For Christmas this year, my parents gave me a Wii. I absolutely love it (especially the Wii Fit), but I’m not a huge fan of having the controllers laying out all of the time. I didn’t wan...
Sadly, my sketch class ended last week, but I’m trying to get in the habit of just sketching when I’m bored. Here are a few sketches I did on Saturday while watching a movie on the couch&...
Well, the moving OUT is complete. Now comes the moving IN! Combining two households has proven to be challenging, but we’re surviving. We worked on rearranging the living room last night. Here&...
A few pictures from the second week of my “Sketching in Color” class at Flicker Street Studios. We worked with markers, pens and watercolors today. REALLY had fun. I feel like the whole i...
Well, I guess I’m testing out that whole “3rd time’s the charm” idea. After a previous failed attempt at Project 365, and then a massive failure a few months ago at a measly m...
The first thing I moved to the new house was my art/craft supplies (obviously… most important stuff goes first!). I have a nice little space set up in the guest bedroom, and I dove into a new p...
So, you’re not going to believe this, but I’m moving again! Just one short year after moving into my beautiful apartment, I’m pulling up stakes and taking my stuff about 1/2 mile do...
Well, I made it through Day 8 of my photography challenge before totally falling off the wagon. I have no excuse. I missed one day (“Sunset,” which is kind of hard to do when you don̵...
The newest addition to my Etsy shop: Christmas Ornaments! This year I did 2 different styles of ornaments. The first style is a kind of retro/Dr. Seuss/ Whoville idea. They’re bright and colorf...
So, I’m cheating today (technically yesterday). The prompt for today’s picture was “Someone You Love.” I really wanted to take a picture of my mom, but she lives 7 hours away,...
I guess I don’t consider the coffee itself a bad habit, but going to the coffee shop a few mornings a week instead of making it myself definitely qualifies. In addition to spending the money, i...
My first attempt at apple chips. They were an unmitigated disaster (burned the everloving crap out of them), but the photo is kind of cool.
This project was based on a tutorial I found on one of my favorite blogs, A Beautiful Mess. In it, the blogger teaches how to transfer a photocopied image onto a canvas using gel medium. I loved the ...
Breakfast with my sister at Cafe Eclectic. Delicious coffee.
So, this was not my best week ever, thanks in large part to this green plate. It’s a custom order that I’ve been working on for about a week now, and when I took it out of the kiln on Th...
Cold, cloudy day in Memphis today. Perfect day to take a “clouds” shot!
