My True Feelings on This Whole Craft/Art Thing

A couple of events that happened recently gave me an opportunity to think long and hard about the path that I have taken in my craft/art life.

It seems to me that every time you find something that you can do relatively well and enjoy at the same time, well-meaning people encourage you to make [...]

Back Home Safely

Just a quick post to say that we arrived home safely from our scrapbooking trip to Cape May. We had a wonderful time despite being stuck in the elevator twice and having to deal with a very rude staff at the Grand Hotel.

We all [...]

On the Way to Cape May

Now that I have the “On the Way to Cape May” song stuck in the head of anyone whoever visited the Jersey Shore (Stacy and Mark-you’ll be singing it all day), let me tell you how excited I am.

Finally, Some Art

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but there hasn’t been much art in this blog lately. That’s because there hasn’t been much art going on here. I have a few things in progress, but I haven’t been able to get anything done up until now.

Yesterday morning, my phone rang and the caller ID said it was from Frances (she is my “grandmother”-a dear friend of my grandmother who became my grandfather’s second wife when I was in high school.) Nothing too strange about that, except for the fact that Frances passed away in early [...]

The Link to the “Get Well” Book and My Latest Inspiration

As promised, here is the link to Sandee’s website. She is posting the 4×4 pages for Vickie’s Get Well book. There’s already some great, uplifting art posted there, but keep checking back because there is a lot more on the way!

 

Get Well Wishes

A great thing about the artists in the mixed media community is that they really are a community. They always pull together to help out another member. This is certainly the case in the Bmuse Yahoo Group. Our leader, Vickie, is currently in the hospital recovering from a cerebral aneurysm, [...]

Now that the holiday rush is over, the decorations are down and it’s finally starting to feel a little like winter here, I’m really into my knitting again.

I’m working on this cute wrap sweater:
