I can’t sleep. I’ve just been really stressed out lately, and I don’t want to go to sleep because I know I’ll just have to wake up tomorrow and I already don’t want to. So instead, I’m sitting in my craft room, binge watching Merlin while I ATTEMPT to finish up some projects that have…
My craft swap obsession is still going strong, but I’ve become a lot more picky about which ones I sign up for. Mostly I just do the nerdy fandom specific ones because I can’t resist them! This one was particularly fun to participate in. I made my partner a bag that has a Serenity reverse…
I did not think this post was going to be so hard to write! Which is just silly really. Basically, I want to say that I miss blogging and I’ve made it a goal to start writing on a regular basis again. There are LOTS of other things I want to say, but maybe those…
I had lots of plans this weekend. I have three embroidery hoops I still need to finish, and 4 illustrations. I also wanted to straighten up my craft room since it got a little disheveled while I was looking for things I needed to pack for our CT trip. BUT none of those things happened.…
Whenever I hear about people who are struggling, be it financially or physically, I always get this sinking feeling in my gut. I wish there was more I could do to help others, I wish I were a millionaire so I could just give them the money they need. It makes me feel so tiny…
This gif pretty much wraps up the trip we took to CT last week to visit my family. Lots of jumping and laughing. And swimming… LOTS of swimming. And also lots and lots of snuggling my new nephew! I’m going through some serious baby withdrawal right now. I want to drive all the way back…
I’ve found myself sort of obsessed with Instagram craft swaps lately. And by obsessed I mean I’ve signed up for about a dozen different ones. I love making things for other people, and I love getting fun handmade things in the mail! So really, there is nothing not to love. Occasionally you do end up…
Alyssa from Small Things Illustration is hosting THE CUTEST CONTEST EVER right now. Basically, you create a doll based on her designs and the winner will get their artwork turned into a custom doll. I absolutely adore Alyssa’s dolls (and everything else she does!) so we definitely had to enter. Plus, I knew the kids…
Next month is Camp NaNoWriMo, and I’m planning on joining in again since I had so much fun writing last year. The last time I even looked at my book was in September during my big business trip, when I started editing my first draft on the airplane. I made it through the first 5…
Last week I broke down and bought a set of liquid watercolors. I’ve been wanting to try liquid watercolors for a while now and I had a good coupon so I bought one of each color. I went with the Artist’s Loft brand from Michaels. I also bought these cute little containers so I could…
