Another 8 days down, and I am still loving this small format project I fell a bit behind on daily journaling this week, but the small tags make it super easy to catch up. We’ve had a busy week of crafting ornaments and wreaths. Christmas parties and playdates. Slow Saturdays of knitting and crafting. Games galore. And to cap it […]
10 days into December, and I think I’m closing on what could be a record effort at keeping up with December Daily. The mini tag idea is working brilliantly. I did have a false start when my lack of spatial awareness skills tripped me up, and 4 pictures on a 4×6″ print ended up being much larger than I expected. […]
One of these days, I will have my December Daily plans in place by mid November. This year is not that day. It was around lunchtime yesterday I sent a panicked message to the Enabler In Chief. December was closing in rapidly, and I had zero plans. A bit of brainstorming and a few ideas kicked around, and a plan […]
October seems to be the month I get suckered into All The Challenges. Maybe its the return of the warmer weather pulling me out of the winter blahs and hitting a mojo upswing. Most years I give Blogtober a red hot go, even though blogging hasn’t really been a thing since like 2014. I often have big plans for Inktober, […]
Every few days, I need to just shut off from the world, and my preferred scrolling option is the instagram explore page. One such scroll lead to me to discover the concept of a “loaded tag”, and I was instantly hooked on the idea. I watched the IGTV video all the way to end – something I don’t normally do […]
Once upon a time I had big plans to keep an actively full tin of handmade cards on hand, so I would always have something when I needed a card. Well, that lasted…approximately two card making sessions. Whoops. The the tin got packed into storage when I was clearing out my craft room to get our house ready for sale […]
…my true love gave to me, six loose thread bobbins, five paper layers, four paint colours, three fave stencils, two adhesives and a thread minder in a pear tree. Ok, so grand lyricist I am not. What I am, though, is rather adept at taking hold of an idea and running with it. Occasionally I even finish said idea. Over […]
If there is one thing I do better than buying beautiful papers, it’s hoarding said papers and not using them in case I “waste” them on an inferior project, which really is a wastefulness in and of itself. The other thing that I am learning to be better with, is scraps, and deciding what I will realistically use, and what […]
Sometime back in October, I vaguely floated the idea of designing a new set of December Daily papers, as has been my habit in previous years (hiding in the archives are the 2013, 2015, 2016 digital papers). Come November and the addition of a new ipad and an apple pencil to my collection, I got another spurt of mojo, and […]
If there is one thing I love about the creative life, it is the sheer playfulness of making something for no other reason than to get my hands dirty and make something, regardless of the outcome. It doesn’t need to be perfect, whatever I end up making. It just needs to BE. I recognised my creative restlessness when I was […]
