You know how sometimes you see photos of an artist's workspace and it's just crammed with awesome layers, textures and colors? You feel like you could spend hours in there, uncovering treasures and magic? You feel like you're looking into their creative brain and it's amazing? It's a great feeling. But I have found I…

Right after Thanksgiving we picked up our tree and I got the decorations out from the garage. We don't have much – just two small bins, mostly of candles. It's always fun to set everything out though and since I tend to buy all my decorations on sale on December 26th then pack them away…

I have been seeing branch weavings popping up on blogs for the past year or so and always loved the natural and imperfect look. The other day, on our walk to the market, I finally found the perfect branch. (You just need one with a healthy Y shape.) I brought it home, ran it under…

I'm currently collecting frames from various thrift shops to try and achieve something awesome on the walls of our bathroom. While on the hunt, I spotted a giant frame (for $5.99) at Goodwill. It was not with the normal frames but in the "art" section. (I always take peek there too to see what I…

see part one, part two and part three! In mid-April, following this awesome tutorial, I trimmed the leaves off my "leggy" succulent plant in an attempt to propagate (grow tiny new plants) from the cuttings. I am sharing my progress in real time, to give you (and me!) a REAL idea of how long this…
