I have been looking for maple leaves for about a week now so I could make Leaf Roses. You would think it would be an easy tree to find, not so much in Savannah. I found one tree in Forsyth Park last Saturday but there was no way I could reach the branches they were … Continue reading

Starbucks + Girlfriend = Starbucks Cup Flowers
I admit I rarely go to Starbucks, I love Starbucks but I rarely treat myself to Starbucks. One of my dearest friends Michelle told me she was taken me out for coffee Sunday. It was wonderful we talked about life (husbands and kids), blogging and self promotion. Michelle is a writer and understands the need … Continue reading
My Dream Space (AKA: Studio)
I don’t speak of a studio ever because I no longer have a space to create in. My “studio” was forfeited when we found out about my son, it is now his room. While I am grateful to no longer be sharing a bed or a room with my little man, I am sadden that … Continue reading
Felt Play Tent – Work In Progress
I really need to stop thinking about this because the more I think about it the more educational stuff I want to add. I currently have a completely embroidered map and a felt clock with movable hands (there will be a tutorial on this soon). I am not the best embroider I will say by … Continue reading

Instead of my normal Thankful Thursday post I am doing my donation list for my ornaments instead (I think very appropriate). So I have spent quite sometime thinking about the breakdown of each ornament (my goal is to have 5 of each, ambitious I know with two small children) and my reason why I chose … Continue reading
(Semi) Wordless Wednesday – Work in Progress
My angels (which will be pink and 50% will be donated to breast cancer awareness), the gingerbread man, snowman and my Happy Trees (my tribute to Bob Ross – lol). Crappy cell phone photo – yay! The holiday season is about giving so I plan on giving. I plan on each ornament having a charity … Continue reading
Documentaries and me…
I admit on a regular basis I am a nerd (huge nerd) when it comes to history or other useless information. When I was in college I did not have cable, so when I worked on pieces I started watching taped documentaries on random subjects. It ranged from the Civil War to Baseball to the … Continue reading
Hmmm…. Homemade Clay (Paper Clay)
So I have been experimenting with different homemade clays because I really want to make paper clay. I know paper clay is reasonable but the thought of driving to Michael’s makes my head hurt. I also don’t want to order it because I will be really mad if I don’t like it. So I Googled … Continue reading
WHOOO-WHOOO – Progress Photos New Crazy Drawing
After my meltdown during bath time last night, my son fell out of the tub (he is fine, he laughed) and my daughter dumped a half of bottle of aloe filled shampoo into the tub (my hands are still red and swollen – I am allergic to aloe). I decided that I needed to draw … Continue reading
