Colored pencils were my first art love. They really are amazing and versatile little sticks of color! I favor Prismacolor, but use what you have and just start drawing. Let the color and texture inspire you! I created a surface pattern design from this darling ladybug. 🐞 It's available HERE at Spoonflower in fabric and wallpaper. It would be the perfect pattern for a nursery, but imagine a silk blouse of ladybugs! How cheerful that would be to wear. ☺️ The blush pink and cream ... View the Post
Oil Pastel Yellow Flower on Toned Canson Paper
As autumn marches on (it's been beautiful!) the color of yellow transitions well from summer to fall. I have used my favorite colors from Mungyo Gallery, Paul Rubens, and the lovely peach from Artecho on Canson Graduate toned paper. I love the peachy background in all the glory of oil pastel creaminess. These colors just make me happy! I love the brighter greens (I love all greens), as they set off the peach and yellow. ...

AMAZING Double Chocolate Chip Raspberry Einkorn Cookies!

This recipe is for double chocolate cookies that have cocoa powder, as well as dark chocolate chunks. I get mine from Thrive Market because they are sweetened with coconut sugar. I also added freeze-dried raspberries that I get HERE. Raspberry and chocolate are best friends! ☺️ I ... View the Post
Alice in Wonderland Card in Box
I have loved Alice in Wonderland since I was a kid. I think I would probably fit in better in that world. 😂 This "blast from the past" is some digital paper that I had purchased from Echo Park. The designs are whimsical and happy. I loved making this card and coordinating gift box in the cheerful blue theme. I'm not sure if they still sell it, but you could create something similar with other design papers. Embossing folders are such an easy way to add texture and design to simple ... View the Post
My New World of Sourdough! & VIDEO
I have baked hundreds upon hundreds of loaves of bread, but for some reason sourdough always scared me. I have no idea why! 😂 I think it may have to do with the fact that I tend to kill living plants, so why would sourdough be safe from me! After watching countless how-to videos, I finally landed on these cookbooks. They did not disappoint! Elaine's method is easy, and I had success creating my starter on the first try. I have made several loaves since, and they have all been a success. I ... View the Post
