Welcome to the third day of my Flashback Friday Kickoff Week! Ahh…this was a wonderful memory! Running for chocolate! My niece and I participated in a 5K Chocolate run that was held in Chicago. I remember the day was warm but had a beautiful cool breeze that swept off the lakefront. The route was nicely laid…

Flashback Friday Kick-off Week!: July 28-30th
Welcome back to my Flashback Friday Kick-off Week! Now we are starting to get into the heart of my journal with the very start of my year – my birthday! The first entry highlights in an abstract way the elated feelings I have around my birthday. The drawing technique is a Zentangle inspired pattern “Tumbleweed” brought…
Flashback Friday Kick-off Week!
Hello followers and any new readers, Welcome to ‘Flashback Friday Kickoff Week”! This is the first entry from my year-long art journal I have been working on that chronicles my life over the past year. I am finally back after a long hiatus from the blogging world. While I have not been blogging, I have been…
My First Hand-Spun Yarn and more!
So back in August this past year, I started on a new hobby that set my head spinning. You guessed it! It is spinning! No – not the cycling type of spinning but that type that makes yarn… So here it is my first own hand-spun, hand-dyed little creation! Being that this was my first spinning project,…
Black Hills Majesty, Part 3
Talk about a super-long time to wait for a conclusion of a story! As I talked about in the proceeding post, I was MIA for over six months. I hid myself away from the world and took a very long hiatus from all things digital. Now that I am back, I thought I shouldn’t leave…
Still Here
I find it ironic that every couple of months I fall off the face of the planet only come back to apologize and vow never do it again. LOL Life is never that simple. I realize this is one of my longest breaks ever since starting this blog and I feel bad that I have not…
My head is Spinning!
It’s not what you think. My head is not spinning. I am not joining a spin class at the gym and I am certainly not watching spiders spin their webs (creepy!). So what is spinning then? I have been spinning my own hand-spun yarn, that’s what! In my last post, I alluded to working on…
Black Hills Majesty, Part 2
As promised, I am continuing from my last blog post which regale’s the time we spent in South Dakota this past May. Our trip through the Black Hills of South Dakota was extremely memorable. On my husband’s birthday, we climbed to the top of the highest peaks in the hills known has Harney Peak. Harney’s Peak…
Black Hills Majesty, Part 1
It’s been over 2 months since my trip to South Dakota in May and it still feels like yesterday when we were exploring those majestic Black Hills. My husband and I traversed three states and close to 1,000 miles to experience the beauty of South Dakota’s most alluring area. Clean air, fresh pines surrounded our little…
Day Forty Two, Creation Forty Two
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…
