I’m finally finding the time to get back to a couple of embroidery pieces (Christmas gifts) that I had to put on hold for more pressing projects. This one requires a good soaking before it will be ready for lacing onto its backing board. In the meantime, I’m whipping up what I hope will be [...]

I’ve been trying to set aside time once a month to do a page or two of art journaling. For me this really amounts to doodling and writing notes about things that took place that month. I’m hoping some day I might find the creative energy to take it a little further, but the idea [...]

I’m working on carving some rubber stamps this week. In my usual fashion, I’m attempting something that’s a little beyond my reach. I haven’t practiced enough to be good at fine detail or small designs, but that’s exactly what these are. It’s a practice-on-the-spot sort of thing. I’m getting a little tired of doing the [...]

There’s been a lot of stitch-picking in my creative space this week. Yeah, it’s been one of those days. But I did finally put the wraps on some hand-bound journals and some fabric pouches, all of which are destined to go into gift sets for Christmas … which means that’s about all I can say [...]

My creative space has been buzzing with activity lately, as I’ve been putting the finish to a lot of projects that had stopped midway for one reason or another. I’ve also found a few minutes here and there to create a couple of small pieces for my daughter’s dollhouse. What you see there is the [...]

For the month of July I’ll be taking a little time off from regular blogging. Instead, I’ll be playing along with habit’s community participation project via their flickr pool.

I’m still shaking the sand out of my shorts, so rather than show you that vaguely creative mess, would you mind some shots from last week’s space? Sigh. As always, there’s a party going on at Kirsty’s place. Surf on over if you fancy some more creativity.

On Tuesday, having only days to spare, I decided my summer wardrobe needed a significant revamp before we leave for a vacation at the beach. I scrounged up some fabrics from my stash, as well as a couple of Hubby’s old shirts, and I’m whipping up all sorts of quick, no-pattern-just-wing-it, and intended-to-be stylish new [...]
