Watercolors fascinate me. I hope to learn how to use them. I’ve played around with them the past couple of years, but nothing serious. This fall I found the most beautiful leaf I have ever seen. It looked like this: Simply gorgeous. The leaf had all the colors of fall in it; look at the […]
Thanksgiving day was filled with family and food. It was really nice to see some of my extended family who I don’t get to see as often. Best of all I got to spend most of the day with this chick: We had a lovely meal that was prepared by a lot of different people. […]
I made it home for Thanksgiving break just in time to run into the house and begin to get Karleigh ready for her fourth Ever So Lovely Pageant. The year after I graduated, my high school began a pageant for special needs girls. Karleigh and the other girls look forward to it all year. All […]
All of the sudden, I found that I had several good reasons to make cards. So, despite my carpal tunnel flaring up, I pressed on to make these delightful cards this week. I think it is so fun to give personal cards to friends (and sometimes acquaintances or even strangers!). I know I’ve said this […]
The other day I sat down and made a whole bunch of handmade postcards! It was a great way to re-purpose a box! It ended up taking 10 times as long as I wanted it to, but they turned out nice and I know they’ll be appreciated. I used a cardboard box I found in […]
I’ve been wishing I had a heating pad with me at school, so I decided to make one! I followed the tutorial here: http://fellowfellow.com/diy-heat-pack/ I made myself and a friend a chevron heating pad. I was able to get 1/2 yard of chevron canvas at Hobby Lobby for $3 and the bag of rice for $2 […]
I was able to go home for the weekend to see our dear neighbors’ vow renewal! They have been married 25 years and the ceremony was just lovely. The rustic decorations and the wooded lodge where the ceremony took place were beautiful. The lodge is located right on the peninsula and the trees were shedding […]
Not this past weekend, but the weekend before it was Grove City College’s Homecoming, where alumni both young and old, traveled from near and far, back “home.” What an interesting thought for some of us. To think that someday, once we leave this place, we will see it as our home… To be honest, I […]
So, I made your typical crayon art the other day for my dear friend’s birthday. It’s so odd how certain things become popular. A couple of years ago if you were to say the term “crayon art” people would have thought you were referring to your coloring pages as art, but now it’s a fairly […]
In this age of digital communication, a good handmade card with a heart-felt message is the perfect anecdote to our media driven blues. I am a strong advocate of handmade cards. I think that they are appropriate for all occasions, from birthdays to weddings to “congratulations on loosing your first tooth” to baby showers to […]
