Because Whimsical Always Makes You Feel Better!
"I just want to drink coffee and make pretty things!" I've used that quote before, in "Coffee and Pretty Things", but it is so true for me that I had to use it again. In fact, I think I need to change it to "I just want to drink coffee and make everything!" So I …
I was so pleased when I got this blue and green glass... Because I really wanted to make a peacock mosaic! Actually I made two. This is the first one, which is still not finished, because the tray needs to be painted. But there's nothing in the "Tracy project manual" that says you have to …
So on Pinterest you can find all these ideas... And if you're in "Whimsical Mode" and into mosaics, you will probably want to try some of those ideas yourself. Especially if you're trying to make your backyard drought-resistant and just a tiny bit bohemian (read: "eccentric" if you must).This is from September of last year, but …
Remember this? Yes, it's the famous toilet from "The Art of Being Big Girl Continued"! If you remember, it took me about three days to change out the toilet in the guest bathroom. My first thought was to put the old one out on the curb for the yearly neighborhood trash pick up. But we …

As the saying goes...If you're doing mosaic sea animals on your bathroom tile, you might as well go all out! When we left off at the end of "Because I Can", this was how far I had gotten with the sea animals mosaic. At that point I wasn't sure if I wanted to go all …
About 5 or 6 years before I retired from teaching... ...I asked an eighth grade girl why she was doing whatever she was doing in my class. (I don't remember what it was now, you can fill in the blank: texting on her phone, playing games on her tablet, talking to her friends, doing her …
In case you haven't noticed... I have been on a "mosaic roll" for awhile now. Awhile back I went outside to organize my "tesserae". (Don't you just love that word? It sounds so...well, artistic.) You've seen my outdoor mosaics and my "work station" on the patio. I can pretty much stay out here for hours …
You've heard the phrase "You can't be too rich or too thin," right? Well, I have never agreed with either part of that saying, and neither have Foster and Panda. But there are some things you definitely can't have enough (or too many) of, and we will be addressing that here. You can see if …
