Ross' dad wanted me to draw a portrait of him for his wife's birthday. I loved his idea to put a Daniel Boone style hat on him -- that makes the portrait so personal and unique! 🍁

Mabel, sister to Abby, sounds like a sweet soul. Her dad @the_marvelous_mr_wayner says she's big and clumsy and scared of the world. Don't you just want to wrap her in a big hug?? ❤️🐶

Working on this portrait of Abby, the dog described by @the_marvelous_mr_wayner as an angsty teenager, really took me back to my high school days... Nirvana, Pearl Jam, grunge fashion, the Breakfast Club, Say Anything...

Raided my fabric stash for some canvas to play around with. I stuck these scraps to some cardboard with matte medium, gessoed them, and tested out what the paint feels like on them. Liking it enough to prep some more panels this way! It’s cool when my sewing world intersects with my art world. #acryliconcanvas

With the boxes mostly unpacked, now I can turn some of my attention back to making art. I’m learning how to paint with acrylics and could not be more excited about having a real studio space to work in. I’m testing out painting in front of the window today.

Every where I turn I’m greeted with super friendly North Carolinians. Our realtor @vanessa_speight_ncrealtor even sent us a super sweet housewarming gift, welcoming us to our new home ❤️

My year of seasonal pies

One of my baking goals is to develop an awesome pie crust with freshly milled wheat flour, and to do it enough that pie-making becomes second nature. Read more about my year (well, ten months) of making a seasonal pie each month >

Handmade accessories

Sewing (and knitting!) accessories is so much fun. Sewing garments is great, too, but there's that whole fitting challenge that's not a worry when it comes to things like zipper pouches. Did I mention zipper pouches? >

Art journal

On this journey of creating a daily art habit, I hope to develop my skills and discover more about my style. I like drawing, painting, and mixed media projects >
