I Think I May Have Forgotten How to Draw...
...without help. You see, this is how I have drawn pretty much every single thing to come out of this studio for the past 13 years. We'll see if I'm actually able to remember how I did it before, after... Continue reading

Pink and Spring and Other Nice Things.
Image
Pink follows grey so nicely. After months and months of seeing only every shade of grey possible, my neighborhood bursts out in a million shades of pink. Daily dog-walks this time of year are usually excercises in counting pink trees.... Continue reading

Grey.
Image
Grey. Overlooked, and often grumbled about, by me. You don't have to look far within this blog to find me complaining about dumb old boring grey. It gets a bad rap most of the time. It's the muddy shade you... Continue reading

Not Just Pretty Pictures.

Did you know this? You probably already did. I don't need to tell you. But just in case you didn't know this: all those little buttons you see here in the sidebars? They're not just for decoration or distraction. They're... Continue reading

(Im)patiently Waiting for Spring.

Last month I got to spend an awesome day with my amazing artist friends Jane and Barb at the Northwest Flower and Garden Show. The show is about my favorite thing every February, breaking up the cold, grey drudgery of... Continue reading

Hibernation.

I'm not sure, but I think that is where I've been. Winter does that, I guess. But like the little green sprouts I have been seeing this past week peeking from the cold, wet ground outside - I'm coming to... Continue reading

Random Cozy Winter Stuff
Image
As the year comes to an end I'm looking back at some highlights, or I suppose they're more just odds and ends, of my winter this far - under the cozy category: Winter sparkles and bits of sunlight enjoyed inside... Continue reading

Being Nice.
Image
There's been a lot of talk recently about "paying it forward". Seems when we are most confused and heartbroken about things happening in the world around us, the smallest gestures of kindness can be the most life-changing. Unfortunately, we humans... Continue reading

(What the Card Says)
Image
...organizing my box of cards and tags before putting them all away, I came across this one: Possibly my very first handmade holiday card, circa 1970. Credit for the scissor-work on the candles should probably go to Mrs. Pascal from... Continue reading

Wreath!
Image
I used to buy pre-made wreaths and "doctor them up" with my own goodies (that's what my Granny used to call it when you add stuff to a hamburger or other sandwich). At the end of the season I'd always... Continue reading

November Harvest

Oops, I wrote this last week and forgot to post it. A little scattered these days, I guess . . . here it is, in the better-late-than-never category! A couple weeks ago, I finally gave in and picked the last... Continue reading

Santa, Elves, & a Giveaway!

Yes, I realize that a month ago I promised weekly giveaways here on the blog. So I haven't been very organized about that, sorry. But to make up for it, I'm going to cram as many as I can muster... Continue reading

Glowy.
Image
This time of year, everything's glowy. When we take our evening dog-walks, the whole neighborhood is glowy. Houses are glowy. Little corners of the garden are glowy. Inside the tiny, cozy house, pretty much everything is glowy. Glowy mantle, glowy... Continue reading

Studio Day

Today, HRH Flossie is guest-posting here on Stuff About Artstuff. Enjoy. My favorite days are ones where Person stays in the studio all day. I help her draw but it gets tiring and eventually I need a nap. I like... Continue reading

From a December Garden
Image
While working outside today I did a little end-of-season cleanup in some of the garden beds. I was putting things away and pulling out spent plants, and was about to start hacking down the tall, dead daisies that I never... Continue reading

Good Morning.

...looks like it will be a cute day after all. Although, to be honest, my Happy Place really kicks in once the cup looks more like this. Have a great weekend, everyone! I think it may be time to dig... Continue reading

Shrimp Aspic Says "Hi" - and Winner Announced!

"Hi." There it is, in all its jiggly glory. The now-famous aspic. You can see what I mean about marshmallows and whipped cream subduing Fear of Jello. Halfway through dinner, the Green Fluff is almost gone! I know I keep... Continue reading

Season of Giving

This is the time of year many of us reflect on things we are thankful for. I know, this should really be something we do every day anyway - but most of us require gentle reminders, or in cases like... Continue reading
