I was just looking for a file on my thumb drive when I came across these photos of my pin collection that I never shared! I’ve actually added a few more pins to this display since I took these pictures. I have been collecting pins since I was in high school, but I almost never…
My friend Lia nominated me in her Liebster Award post. I don’t usually do these, mostly because I am super forgetful. But I’m sitting at work right now with not much to do, and I decided to schedule a few blog posts for this weekend so I can enjoy the fine art of doing nothing…
I’ve been having quite a bit of fun with watercolor lately. Last week I wanted to try something new, and then Rachel posted this super cute picture on Instagram, and it was just the motivation I needed. This painting is absolutely tiny, it’s ATC sized (2.5×3.5) and done with watercolor and pen. I love reading…

Wishlists are fun. They keep me from buying things, and then I have a nice little collection of things that I like. With all of the Christmas shopping I have been doing this week, I’ve spent a lot of time looking at Wishlists. (I’m 90% done with the shopping! My goal is to have everything…

It’s not much of a secret that I am obsessed with Instagram. I’m a bit late on the bandwagon since I’ve only had a smart phone for a couple of months now, but I love how easy it is to document bits and pieces of life. I love taking pictures of projects that I’m working…
**Update** I think this should be obvious, but I figured it would be best to put a little disclaimer up here since this post has been getting a lot of traffic lately. Basically – don’t be an idiot. Use a non-toxic glue stick (Do they even make toxic ones anymore?), don’t put the tattoo on…
I just finished a new drawing! The beautiful Kristen sent me this photograph a million years ago and I am so glad that I finally found some time to get around to it. I love Kristen’s hair. Seriously, it’s always perfect! (I definitely have bangs envy.) And it was fun to draw. I hope you…
Last week I bought some 5×7 matte boards at the dollar store, and it turns out they work great for tiny watercolor experiments! And three for a dollar? Score! I made these while I was waiting for Juniper’s silhouette to dry. I was trying to master my “space” technique. Dark colors are hard! These are…
