“Mommy, Mrs. C. wants a cat for Christmas. I really want to give her one. Can we?” Discussion about why giving someone a live animal for a gift may not be a great idea. “Mommy, can you make one instead?” Furious Amigurumi-ing “Mommy, can you make a puppy for Mrs. L., too?” More furious Amigurumi-ing [...]

I bought most of my Christmas gifts from fellow Etsians, but I am making a few things myself. This one involves a little bit of sewing, and I wouldn’t mind having one of them for myself…. And that’s all I can tell you for now. Ho ho ho! (Our Creative Spaces)

The crocheting is finished. The stiffening-with-glue is finished. The glittering is finished. The ribboning is finished. I am really, really pleased with this year’s Christmas ornaments. They are delicate and lovely and just a touch sparkly. But this is all you get to see for now, until I’ve handed out the goodie buckets! (Our Creative [...]

I know who I am, much better than I did the last time. Good-bye, November. So long, habit. ***************** For the month of November I’ll be posting habit-style in participation with their open flickr group. I’ll be adding to the pool as I feel inspired, but also here on my regular Monday/Wednesday/Friday schedule. I hope [...]

But, I also have some new things to share today, so I’ll be doing a lengthier My Creative Space at the same [...]

Habit is back! Well, okay, they never actually went anywhere, but they are once again inviting any and all to participate with their flickr group for the month of November. (I participated last year when they did it in July.) I’ll be joining in, too. Will you play along? ***************** My creative space: jumbles, delays [...]

Do you remember that little artistic dilemma I had? It’s been solved. I knew I wanted a little more going on in the background, but I needed it to be subtle—and it was hard to get more subtle with the already delicate look of the foreground. I let this one sit on my desk, and [...]

This week has been rather quiet, creatively speaking. Unlike previous lulls that have made me feel a little disoriented and agitated, this is a peaceful slowness, so I’m rolling with it. I have, however, started to stack a pile of half-finished projects in hopes of putting the wraps on them soon. The painting you see [...]
