This week feels like it’s been about 100 years long! And at the same time, I feel like over done a whole lot of not much. I finished one book and started another. I did a few rows on my crochet blanket. I restarted my morning runs and my morning watercolours. I cut an order of custom labels for a […]
One of my goals this year is to up my Procreate skills. As part of 21 Things 21 Times, I am aiming to do 21 Procreate Tutorials, and after a bit of a surf around Insta, I discovered Bardot Brushes, and her “Making Art Everyday” prompt series.

Pencil cases and pencil rolls have long been my go-to gift to make. Back when the big boys were tiny, I made them […]
