Discovering Dreams

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

--Mark Twain

Blooming True

Starting Monday, I'll be embarking on a creative journey led by artist Flora Bowley. I've been interested in her work since I first saw it through Papaya!. Now, she's teaching an e-course on intuitive creativity and being brave.

I can't wait to start painting and getting messy and uncovering a little more of my creative self!

Happy Holidays!

Hope your holidays are full of merry brightness!

--we painted our own Christmas tree this year-- :)

Sweet & Spooky

We decorated a haunted house this week.

It was made out of chocolate cookies.



And candy.



And lots and lots of frosting!



We went a little overboard with the frosting and it was delicious!

Have a spooky-ooky, happy Halloween!

Tiny Tote

I used some of the remaining pillow fabric to make a tiny tote for Brianna.




I'm starting to like this sewing thing.

Chillin'

Delicious iced mocha with lavender, anyone?

Yes, please!

This yummy drink is called Midnight Garden or Moonlight Garden (I can never remember, but it's my favorite). So, thank you River Rock Coffee for making something I can't stop drinking.

Sewing Project: Pillows

I took another class at Crafty Planet and this time I made pillows. We made inserts first with muslin and poly-fil and then we made the covers with invisible zippers.



The main reason I wanted to make pillows (besides the fact that you can never have enough pillows) is that our couch is an Ikea couch. It's tiny and easily transportable (which fits into our current nomadic existence), but it needs a little extra help in the comfy department. Hence, the pillows.




Now, the only question is what do I sew next?
