♥ For Christmas I made Ryan these chalkboard menu squares! We’ve been making weekly menus for ourselves for a little while now. It makes grocery shopping so much faster and easier, and we get “refrigerator coma” less often { have you seen those commercials? }. I love knowing that all of our meals are pre-planned [...]

Paint By Numbers | Things I Love!
Posted in Crafting, Home Decor, Painting, Things I Love, Vintage + Thrift, tagged framed, handmade, paint by number, paint by numbers, vintage on November 9, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
♥ Paint By Numbers, how can you go wrong? Well, clearly it’s not the best, most profound, or most skillful art, but there is something about the aesthetic of a good ol’ paint by numbers painting that I find really appealing. Maybe it’s the muted colour pallet that they all seem to have, or the [...]

One of my all time favourite annual events (right up there with Thanksgiving + the 4th of July!) is the summertime Picnic Music + Arts Festival! SO. MUCH. FUN. ♥ All handmade and vintage, it’s essentially Etsy in a park. Speaking of Etsy, this seller had a booth, and I can honestly tell you that [...]

This image just speaks for itself, no? ♥ A lovely lady we know has just opened up her Etsy shop, and this is a sample of the whimsical art that she has available. I’m so tempted to snatch up about five of her prints, tout de suite! I’d love to have this posted near my [...]

So today, in an effort to complete my 20 listings goal for February, I created two new items with the intention of adding them to my shop. Unfortunately, I wasn’t completely satisfied with the quality of my cupcake pin cushion since I threw it together pretty quickly and didn’t have any instructions to go by [...]
Setting Up Shop

So, Ryan and I have decided that it just isn’t worth beating around the bush any longer. I want to have a profession that encourages my creativity, offers me the freedom to choose my own schedule, and gives me the sense of belonging and responsibility that I never got when I was working for someone [...]
Every day I’m so inspired
Posted in Crafting, Painting, Upcycling, tagged old, recycle, reuse, television, tv, upcycle on October 4, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Every day lately I’ve been so inspired. But the problem comes when I try to apply my vigor into creating something. I look all day long at blogs featuring the aesthetics of a nicely decorated home or the perfection of a great ensemble, and just want so very much to have the satisfaction of feeling [...]
Inspiration & Sale
Posted in Crafting, My portfolio, Painting on May 19, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Recently I’ve been having fits of inspiration. I say “fits” because I’m almost wild to find an outlet for all of the excitement & conductivity I feel. However, the problem I face (that I believe often plagues other imprecisely named “crafters/creators”), is that I find myself unaware of the proper direction to pursue. How can [...]
