I Blame Pinterest

Thursday, February 23rd, 2012

I’ve been away from this blog for quite a while (again).  It’s not a lack of ideas, it’s more a lack of computer time.  For example, I’ve had a great post relating my blogging pattern to a predator-prey population curve brewing in my head for months (TGAW inspired!–I LOVE how she often relates everyday occurrences [...]

Sew, what have you been up to?

Monday, December 27th, 2010

Lately, I’ve been embracing my role as mommy and housewife and taking it to the next level: I’ve attempted to teach myself how to sew.   This desire came originally from my mother, passed on to me through years of admiring her ability and aptitude at sewing. Not a single childhood Halloween experience exists in my [...]

Brilliant Brother – Frown Town

Sunday, June 13th, 2010

I’ve mentioned my brother Steve quite a few times in previous posts about my artsy and talented family members, and the time has come to elaborate a bit and unveil his most recent work. Steve is an extremely talented painter, but his #1 passion from early in his childhood has been puppets. You can read [...]

Organic Baby Play Mat? A new project!

Monday, March 15th, 2010

Maddie has been growing like crazy, and is now uber aware of everything around her. She is just barely starting to reach for and bat at toys, although it’s not yet a controlled and always conscious thing. She is getting to the age, at almost 11 weeks old, where she gets bored after a while [...]

Heart of Nature Favorites: Lucy James Photography

Sunday, January 31st, 2010

Photography is an art that I enjoy pursuing, as long as it includes lots of trees, dirt, plants, fungi, animals, creepy-crawlies, or rocks… the wilder and nearer to the heart of the wilderness, the better.  I’ve never considered myself “good” at portraiture or pictures of people.  Granted, I do think that I have a decent “eye” for [...]

Closely Knit and Talented Family

Friday, March 20th, 2009

I’m home sick from work today, which means I’ve been spending much of the day sleeping, or curled up in a ball with a good book and a mug of hot tea.  Since I am a third grade teacher, I did spend some time grading papers and reading through my students’ work.  While sitting at [...]

Bride and Groom – Success!

Friday, January 2nd, 2009

Wednesday morning, I packed up all of my clay supplies and headed over to my parents’ house, where I had a crafting date with my mom and brother. My brother Steven is the artist of the family, and I knew that to create a mini bride and groom, it was in my best interest to [...]

Daily Polymer Clay Creations

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

Today is one of those days I’m really grateful I am a teacher.  Not only do the third graders fill me with joy and lighten my soul, but we also have long breaks!  Seriously, the extra vacation is absolutely not among the reasons why I became a teacher, but it certainly is a perk.   [...]

A Reading Ladybug

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

Yay! I just finished the final touches on my first-ever polymer clay creation!!  I give you… a reading ladybug!  It’s kind of a silly combination, but it’s a gift for a woman who collects reading or writing statues, and I’m hoping (guessing) she’s also into science and insects.  Even if she’s not as big of [...]

Playing with Polymer Clay

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

I’ve always enjoyed playing with clay, but it’s been quite some time since I put it to good use (like since the model Iroquois village I made in 3rd grade).  This holiday, I have not one but TWO holiday gifts that I’m attempting to make out of polymer clay. I was totally in luck when [...]
