Daisies Silhouette

I finished Juniper’s painting last night, but I’m not very happy with how it turned out. I mean, it looks alright. I think I over-painted it though, which is pretty easy to do with watercolors I’ve learned. Juniper loves it though. She was so excited this morning when she saw it on the counter. I…

The Comedian 3

“Mommy, I really want to be a horse, and you can be a rainbow.” “Juniper, you are a big girl, you can wipe your own butt.” “No. I’m a big BOY and boys are not good at wiping.” “You know why I’m doing ABCs? Because they make me happy.” “My room is a little bit…

A bit on faith.

My faith is not something that I have an easy time talking about, it’s very personal to me. But I’ve been feeling the need to write it down, express it somehow. I am a Christian. I believe in Jesus Christ as my Savior. I believe in doing good works, and in serving others. I believe…

Space Silhouette

I’ve decided that I am in love with masking fluid. I tend to be a very messy artist, so I loved not having to stress about keeping the edges clean. You can see how messy it got in my last post about watercolors. It sure doesn’t smell nice, but it dries quickly and peels off…

365 Days Outside > 230-238

So it has been a while since I’ve posted a 365 Days Outside update. Of course, that doesn’t mean we haven’t been going outside! It just means I have a ton of pics I haven’t shared yet. I’m going to split them up between today and Friday, and then hopefully I’ll be back on track.…

{Outdoor Classroom} Paper Boats

The week before my trip, we borrowed the book “Hopper and Wilson” by Maria Van Lieshout from our library. It’s about a couple of friends who set out to find the end of the world in their paper boat. Juniper really enjoyed the story, and I thought the illustrations were adorable. We wanted to make…

WATERCOLOR

Adventures in Watercolor

A while back Shaun and I were talking about my craft room, and his opinion was that it was nice that there wasn’t much more I could become obsessed with by means of creative projects. Well, I found something. Watercolor! Luckily, it doesn’t involve a whole lot of supplies. Just some paper, a bit of…

Etsy Love

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 Just some pretties from my Etsy favorites. How amazing is that tiny goat?? Crazy amazing! The tiny camera necklace is also pretty sweet. I would love to have a moon bracelet done for each of my kids. Maybe I’ll get…

AFTER

Bridesmaid Dress

One more wedding-related post, for now anyways. As if the wedding weren’t last minute enough, Kim emailed me on Thursday to let me know that I was still going to be a bridesmaid and I needed a purple dress. So off to the thrift store I went!! (Always a good thing in my book.) The…

Allyn & Kim

So last night I was looking around internetland and I realized that it is October 15th, and I’ve only posted ONCE so far this month! I’ve got to say, it has been NICE being on this little techno-vacation of mine. But I’m excited to get back into the swing of things. I am still working…
