indigo pysanky egg tutorial
I confessed on my Instagram Stories earlier this week that I still had my white lights and greenery hanging up outside. As in Christmas lights and greenery. I think mid-March is past the line of Christmas decor looking wintry and acceptable! But, it’s been cold and snowy and, when it’s been warmer, I haven’t wanted […]
decorating dominoes
Yes, cleaning can be a drag. I don’t always look forward to going through the routine of picking up, cleaning toilets, mopping floors, etc., but I have found that it can actually be very stimulating to my creativity. I know it sounds crazy, but cleaning can be a good time to think and interact with […]
late to the greek yogurt party
Disclosure: This post is sponsored by . All words and opinions are honest and completely my own. Truth. When I was asked if I would be interested in working with (pronounced fa-yeh), a Greek yogurt company, as a sponsor, I had to pause a minute and think about it. Hmm…I don’t know. Is it good? […]

Butler’s Pantry Plans
Before I share about the butler’s pantry, I wanted to give everyone a head’s up that my latest round of paintings are for sale and the auctions end today. You can view and bid on the paintings HERE. There is still snow on the ground and it was in the 20’s today, but it still […]
open-handed recklessness & practical plans
My time of retreat felt like flight. Not the kind we’re used to these days when you’re herded like cattle through security and shoved into a seat appropriately sized for a nine-year-old. It was flight that was light and swift, like a blue jay. The wind was in my hair and I glided, soared, and soaked […]
