The day has finally arrived! I final got off the procrastination bus and completed the last drawing for my self imposed challenge “One Zentangle a Day” from the book by Beckah Krahula! I knew going in that I would not be able to truly complete this task in six weeks, but little did I know…

Quick Update and a promise…
Okay readers. Enough is enough. I need to stop knitting and start creating more art! I know I am tough on myself, and I logically know I have been truly up to my ears in knitting projects since April. I just haven’t made my other passion important enough. If you are curious about what I have…
Long overdue update. Plus new first-time sock project underway!
Gosh! I just realized today that it’s been well over a month since my last post! This by no way indicates that I have stopped knitting altogether. Quite the contrary! I have been knitting my nights and weekends away. Last time, I had spoken that I had completed my first lace scarf. Since then, I have been…
Butterfly Art
I cannot express the joy I feel when I see any artwork t my nieces create! I have always loved art as a child which has continued on in my adult years. So often we get discouraged by our peers along the way telling us that our art is “no good” or “You call ‘that’ art?”. Art…
She’s Crafty
Originally posted on Noe’s Happy Place:
What you are looking at is some really talented clay art that my oldest niece, Amanda, made recently. I am especially proud of her crafts. She and her sisters love the new game out there called minecraft. Personally, it’s not for me. But what I have gathered is…
Success! My first lace scarf is complete!
Whoo hoo! In just two short weeks I started and finished my first lace scarf! This is the very same pattern I attempted over the summer, but failed miserably. I learned that hard way that if you use a “life-line” when working with lace patterns, it will save you from having to frog (undo) all of your…
What is your favorite quote or saying that sparks your creativity?
Okay guys, you caught me. I am a born slacker. I haven’t done any drawing in a couple of weeks. There, I said it. What a relief! I have been putting off creating and posting the last day of my self-imposed “One Zentangle a Day” book challenge. It’s not like the last day’s challenge is super…
Be the Change…
WARNING: Shameless plug for support ahead… Have you ever loved someone so much that your heart hurts to see them suffer? Have you ever believed in a cause so strong that you would do almost anything to support it? Then you are like me; someone who would stop at nothing to end the pain their…
Day Forty One, Creation Forty One
One more day to go and I will be finished at last with my One Zentangle a Day challenge! Today’s task asked to incorporate traditional folk symbols and use them as tangles. I gave this challenge a lot of thought and research (hence the delay in posting this challenge) and decided that I would honor my Native…
Springtime Placemats Complete, plus a sneak peak into my next project…
Happy Monday everyone! Today I am feeling good about the progress I made over the weekend. I spring cleaned around the house. Washed blankets, sheets, fluffed pillows, cleaned closets; you name it, we probably did it. Along with all that spring cleaning, I finally put the finishing touches on my Springtime placemats. Yeah! In case…
Success! Green Shawl is done!
Hey everybody! Exciting news (at least for me). After nearly one year and some very slow knitting, I have finally finished my lovely green shawl! Several posts ago, I mentioned that I pulled this project out of deep hibernation and finally put myself to the task of finishing this little green monster. I think I…
Day Forty, Creation Forty
Okay gang! I finally made it to day forty! This little milestone is marks nearly the end of my 42 day journey from the book One Zentangle a Day. I definitely did not create a tile every single day, but I have for the most part drawn every day since starting this quest. The in…
