Let me begin by saying... My bottlebrush tree is doing much better since the day I "found" it.In March, I trimmed the bush/tree next to it as far back as I could, so the bottlebrush would have more room to grow.However, we do need a bit of "truth in blogging" before we get too far...I …
Okay, I have a name for my 18-inch doll clothes "model". Meet Belle! Awhile back, I made two little girls' outfits like this for a "Beauty and the Beast" themed event. Since I had fabric scraps left over, I made them a "Belle" dress for their American Girl doll. It was then that I realized …
So Mom says I'm grounded from my water fountain until further notice. Why? Well, it's kind of a long story... You will remember from my post "It Must Be The Water" that Mom had ordered this cool fountain for me from Amazon. She put it together and I loved playing in - I mean, drinking …
At my house there's a new motivation to clean the sewing room! The reason can be expressed in the following three words: "It's a girl!"Yes, Kate and Carlos had a girl! So I am now in "sewing heaven" with all the baby ideas I have found on Pinterest. Fortunately I have no shortage of materials …

No, I haven't given up on watercolors! You just haven't seen any here for awhile because I've been into other things... But a few weeks ago I participated in an "art swap" from The Art Colony site. When you do an art swap, different people sign up to make either artist trading cards (ATCs) or …
"The fog comes on little cat feet..." I've always liked these words from Carl Sandburg's poem "Fog". It just seems like the perfect description of fog creeping in, and of course, who doesn't like little cat feet? You may remember this photo if you've read my post "You Might be a Cat Owner".

It's time for an update on my ABC Animals art journal! I am now all the way up to the Letter "I". In case you haven't seen my original ABC Animals post, here are the letters I had finished at that time. ("Dolphin" wasn't actually finished then, but now it is.) I always like to …
