Dolls & Tea ♥
A cold front moved in early this morning. Winds whipping around like mad. Which made for a perfect hazy sort of Arizona winter day. Knowing me by now, you know I take such opportunities very seriously. Endless hot tea, sketching by pencil. Dusting the studio. Enjoying the day. Cup after cup ...

Scarlet Pink Magazine + Instagram + A Giveaway
It's gorgeous outside! Do you feel so happy in autumn? I sure do. Even the setting sun becomes mysterious in its burnt orange and golden glow. The days are about 90'F and the nights about 70'F at 9 p.m. All I want to do is sit under the big twinkly tree or swing in the hammock. Absorbing these...

Love the art sneak peek and those precious pups! Miss you V...so much going on, I don't get to visit as much as I'd like. Big hugs from the East Coast...where we have gotten snow twice this week. Can't wait for spring and some yummy weather ;)

Water + Color
Where bees buzz around lavender colored rosemary flowers... Water droplets, like jewels, gather. As color finds its way to pencil... But not without aid of those jeweled droplets... That allow for rosy cheeks... In shades of petal pink. Where paintbrush... Is happiest to be. Pink...

Heloooo there! I am in the middle of spring magazine deadlines and packaging parcels. (A proper blog post will follow) In case everyone was wondering if I had drowned in bubble wrap? (almost) Or maybe, did she accidentally mummy tape herself, and no one has tried looking for her? Yes yes, I surv...

What a sweet pin cushion and gift idea! I may just have to make a few for some sewing friends! I have so many little crafty/vintage things...many came from my Me-maw! My favorite thing though, might be a wooden ruler that I remember always playing with when I was in her sewing room with her when I was little. It's red, blue, and yellow and folds into three's. I just love it and use it frequently now. Thanks for the inspirations V, you're the best!

Princess Pincushion {a tutorial}
Do you have any simple easy to make treasures that you adore? Maybe something you got from your granny, or an old lady down the street? Maybe something you found, something so simple with little to no dollar value, that you cherish like mad? I have a little something like that, which inspired me...
