Sometimes I like taking note of what’s happening in my life in a little blog game called CURRENTLY. It doesn’t have to happen on a blog, though. I think this could be equally enjoyable and valuable as a conversation with a friend or in a… Continue Reading…Currently
Watercolor has long been my go-to art form and it’s no surprise why. Not only is it beautiful and organic the way the paint moves and blends and dries with such pretty transparency, but it is appropriate for all skill levels. I love that I… Continue Reading…my favorite watercolor supplies
Let me start out by saying thank you for the kind response to yesterday’s post. I shared about the daily sketch, why it is so important to me and how it came about (catch up on that post here). It is a strange thing to… Continue Reading…the how and when and what of the daily sketch (plus a time-lapse video!)
A day before the calendar switched to the new year, I had a sudden idea to challenge myself to do a little sketch + watercolor each day in 2019. We’re two weeks in and I am so pleasantly surprised with how things are going. The… Continue Reading…All about the daily sketch
ONE I was SO close to recording a coffee chat this morning. I have about 25 minutes in between school drop-off and my pilates class and I was going to just record a little chat in the car. But then I hopped on Marco Polo… Continue Reading…Five Things Friday #2
Three things happened back-to-back that changed the trajectory of my bible-reading life (and my whole life, actually). It first started with a post I wrote last year about morning devotional books I liked. I am not a morning person and yet I saw the value… Continue Reading…Project 89 – a Gospel reading plan that has transformed my life
This little series called Five Things Friday is something I’ve been doing every once in a while over on Instagram. Just five things I’m thinking about or things that made my week or caught my attention or that I feel like sharing. I’ve been thinking a… Continue Reading…Five Things Friday
A new year is upon us and with it comes the strong desire to organize, plan, be intentional about the important things and let the not-so-important things fall away. As I thought about what paper items I would like to have to help make my… Continue Reading…Paper Goods for the New Year
The week between Christmas and New Year’s is one of my favorites. Of course we love Christmas and all the days and events leading up to it. Baking, cleaning, wrapping, waiting. And then Christmas comes and it is all about family. Cousins, grandmas and grandpas,… Continue Reading…that magical week between Christmas and New Years
Confession: I’m an unashamed fan of Hallmark Christmas movies. It all started for me last year. I sort of feel like maybe Hallmark Christmas movies made a leap into pop culture last year? All of the sudden it felt like people were watching and talking… Continue Reading…christmas movie bingo
Here’s a fun project to do on your own, with friends or to keep the kids creatively occupied for a bit this Christmas season: A watercolor coloring page. I sketched a simple scene of Christmas houses and rather than filling it in with the typical… Continue Reading…Free Printable Christmas Houses Watercolor Coloring Page
The halls are officially decked over here. It seems that the older I get and the more full our lives get, the less stuff I want out and around. But I still wanted it to feel Christmas-y … so this is my best effort to make… Continue Reading…Christmas in the family room
Every year at Christmastime, I make sea salt caramels (here’s my recipe). I make them for our family. I make them for our church coffee + cookie Sunday. I make them for teacher gifts and to give to neighbors with our family Christmas card. They… Continue Reading…Pretty Packaging for little treats
It all started when we moved some things around in the family room. When everything was in place, my husband and I looked at each other and realized there was no room for the Christmas tree. He came up with the idea to put the… Continue Reading…Making a craft store wreath look fancy
Merry Christmas, my friends! I’m so happy to share this watercolor illustration with you! The Christmas Essentials print has been on my ‘can’t wait to make’ list for a while. I did a winter essentials print (found here) to go along with the seasonal essential… Continue Reading…Christmas Essentials (free art print!)
