I am absolutely giddy over this print I purchased on Etsy from British artist, Lizzy Stewart.

It seems that lately, I am constantly seeking those moments of quiet, not only in everyday life but in my head and in my heart.  Every time I look at this print on my wall, I feel peaceful.

I think it [...]

Maybe crazy isn’t the right word. It’s more like obsessed, I just can’t put my needlepoint project down! Last week, I was looking for a new project to work on. Something that wouldn’t make a big mess and that maybe I could do while sitting on the couch. I remembered a needlepoint kit that I [...]

May is all about bikes and bike riding. In fact, today is Bike to Work Day. Heidi rode in this morning with her lunch in the handlebar basket and a smile on her face! Bicycles have been popping up as a popular design motif as of late and in celebration, I put together this etsy [...]

Ok, I’m still going cuckoo over vintage stamps. I had to share this with you. I just came across these amazing collages by Stamposaurus. These letters are made from vintage stamps. It’s really lovely how the artists used stamps in a similar color range in creating these. These paper works of art would make an absolutely [...]

Sometimes you just can’t help but fall in love with something. Lately, I’ve been crushing on pinwheels. Can’t explain how this crush came to be. It just did! But really, what’s not to love? Pretty colors, childhood memories, folded paper…it’s pretty simple.

I keep imagining an entire day spent making these twirling beauties. I want to [...]

We were out shopping at the craft store recently and came across these bright yellow storage canisters. We couldn’t resist their simple shape and bright hue. Remember our big studio reorganization project back in October?  Well, we’re still working on it!  These canisters will be perfect for holding teeny tiny craft supplies.

Here in Los Angeles, we are having a rare full week of rain (that’s what they predict anyhow). Four consecutive storms have made the skies very gray, the streets wet and have left some of us natives thrilled with this unusual occurrence. Don’t get me wrong, it does rain here, (and it really comes [...]

My house is filled with artwork. So much so that I have a backlog of framing to be done and a quickly disappearing amount of wall space on which to hang things. My collection has blossomed in recent years in part due to so many great artists and printmakers offering affordable prints.  [...]

Happy.  It’s the only way that I can describe how I’ve been feeling this past week.

I made a big decision a week ago.  One that was difficult to make and one that was long overdue. Sometimes I think you just need to listen to that little voice inside you: the one [...]
