I’ve been loving photography lately. I’ve been loving adventure too. The two work so well together. Like last week when we went off the beaten path during a camping trip and discovered th...
I met an artist when I was working at Anthropologie a few months back, her name is Samantha Lamb. Born and raised here in Oklahoma, she now lives and works on a farm in the town of Hobart, a couple h...
I’m excited to share with you all my guest post for Martha Stewart crafts blog today! It’s one of the simplest DIY’s – making your own smattering of earrings in different colo...
Yvonne contacted me a few weeks ago to share her work and I was so taken by her designs and aesthetic. She was so incredibly generous to send me one of her most popular items, a beautiful braided nec...
Every 30 days I get a new treasure box of beautiful craft items from For the Makers. The April box is probably my favorite so far, they really just keep getting better and better. In one afternoon I ...
It’s been a while since I posted any personal art progress on the blog. So I thought I’d share with you a few pieces that I’ve created in between the babies naps and bedtimes. IR...
It was a nice surprise getting featured on Design Sponge a couple months ago for the pasta chevron necklace. Since then, a bunch of people have tried the project, and I’ve been having such a gr...
As soon as I saw Anja Mulder’s collection photographs last year, I was taken. There is something about the way she arranges ordinary objects together that draws you in. She was so kind to answe...
Hope you all had a great Easter. Do you happen to have any leftover Easter egg dye? The boys had a blast coloring eggs this year. Their egg coloring process was experimental and haphazard, but they t...
I’ve been feeling like a lone ranger mom these days. It’s not for a lack of friendships, playdates, activities and the like, it’s just for the day to day work and toil of mothering little ones, I fee...
Happy Friday! It’s a beautiful warm hot day today and I feel like doing a giveaway to celebrate the warmth and sunshine! Up for grabs is a boxed set of notecards from Artistry Cards – mad...
If you’ve been following this blog for any amount of time, you know I love making things from everyday items. (Like my all time most popular post, earrings from paperclips.) Slightly more munda...
Happy Spring everyone! Sorry for the scarceness on posts. I caught the dreadful flu bug late February and as a result of some pretty horrendous coughing, managed to crack a rib. Extreme! But mostly I...
It takes alot to wow me these days. When my husband and I stumbled on the work of Willard Wigan, I was completely doubtful that this self-taught artist could create work that fits in the eye of a nee...
So last month I got to work at Anthropologie for a couple days. A new store was opening in January here in Oklahoma City and a friend of mine was hired as a manager. Boy did I feel lucky when she ask...
Oklahoma has some pretty cool bloggers. Last fall one of them decided to start getting them all together at one event, and three meetups later, the event has grown into a pretty awesome thing. This t...
I’m going to start a 3 or 4 part series on oil painting, sharing tips & techniques that I’ve learned along the way. A common misconception with oil painting is that you have to use da...
It’s been a while since I posted an artist interview, but when Nancy, a textile designer based in London contacted me, I just knew I had to have her thoughts on art. She recently graduated from...
OK, before you laugh, let me just say that I waited and waited to post this because I vascillated back and forth between whether it was really really dumb or really cool. Then, I saw this post about ...
I’ve been painting more. Painting is scary for me. Graphic arts are so much more safe and forgiving, and easy. After all I’ve been doing it for about 13 years and for the most part, it co...
Hello everyone, I know this is a bit late since Christmas is past, but I know some of you are probably still celebrating and with New Years coming right up I wanted to send some warm greetings your w...
When Janet asked me a couple weeks ago to do some project illustrations for the December box of For the Makers, I jumped with excitement at the chance. I absolutely love the concept that her and Kati...
There is something so heartwarming about knitting for me. Every year since having babies – when the weather dips down and I’m found wondering what to do in the long winter months, I pull ...
I know, enough with the leaves already! I can’t help it, they are everywhere and I’m taking advantage of the natural resource. So I came up with these simple but beautiful earrings, using...
Recently my 1.5 year old lost his pacifier – and I ran out of backups. My first son never really took one, so it was foreign to me to have a babe that desperately needed it so often. So I had t...
Yesterday I mentioned that I got a box in the mail filled to the brim with all kinds of crafty things from For the Makers. For the Makers combines DIY tutorials with hand-selected materials delivered...
I recently received in the mail a beta box of amazing craft goodies from For the Makers (more on this later). In the box was this beautiful gold metallic thread that I just knew I had to use for this...
I’m a full-time mom of two boys, who are now 3 and 1.5. Needless to say, they keep me busy! Yet, I think about art every day. I think about painting every day. I yearn to bust out of bed every ...
I’m guest posting today over on CraftSnob.com – Sara is hosting a month long handmade ornament parade to gear up for the holidays and asked me to be a part. My contribution was a minimali...
We recently held a little party for my son who turned three. It was simple and beautiful, with the centerpiece being 75 of my favorite photos from his life. I wanted to share the idea with you, becau...
