Discipline – my Resolution Revolution

Share

Christine Kane is a musician and sort of a self help expert. I’ve been reading her blog for a long time, but was particularly intrigued with her Resolution Revolution: A Better Way to Start Your Year. So, I’ve decided to participate.

I’ve never been great at resolutions – they are easy to make and dismiss. [...]

And then there’s Martha!

Share

Geez, I just get to feeling really good about myself. I have my craft room looking homey and I got an iron on tshirt done for my daughter (with “I love Chocolate” on it – met with squeals of delight this morning!) and then I get my morning email and THIS is in it (see [...]

Thinking about Poverty

Share

This is off blog topic, but for a good reason, I’m part of Blog Action day and this year’s topic is poverty. How appropriate in this period of stock chaos and economic crisis.

I was originally going to write this post about crafting and how you can save money as well as help poverty causes. [...]

Paul Newman was one of the greats!

Share

He’s got a few years on me, but I have always had the hots for and been awed by Paul Newman. He’s a wonderful family man, a great humanitarian and an all around great guy….not to mention a fabulous actor.

He will be missed. [...]

A little trash to fill in! :)

Share

My friend Diana and I went craft shop-hopping today (woo hoo) and so I will have that pillow done really soon! However, just to fill in, I ran across this – I’ve seen some dogs he does too…very cool! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F2S48rHnKo]

If I could live life in my 7 year old’s shoes

Share

My daughter is having a difficult year. She’s seven. I’m not even totally clear on why, but yesterday the reality came out that “I’m not popular.” She’s in first grade for heaven’s sake! The “popular” girl in question is very pretty, dark haired, adorable. According to my daughter ALL the boys like her. According to [...]

The debate on Art Vs Craft continues

Share

My first article on Art Versus Craft led me to some interesting insights. Basically the first article was really a question, “What defines “ticky tacky” and where’s the line between that and art and craft.”

I posted this on the Fiber Arts board and got some fabulous responses: http://fiberartsmixedmedia.ning.com/ Probably the biggest response was [...]

Sitting at a coffee shop and observations

Share

One of the great things about working at home is that I meet clients in great coffee shops…in this case a wonderful one at the Tattered Cover book store in Denver. Poor me!

I’m sitting here as kids descend from the high school across the street and I’m amazed at how times have changed. Every [...]

Tacky or Craft? How do you know the difference?

Share

I’m in the mood to stir up trouble! Not sure why, I woke up in a feisty mood this morning! I’m pondering something tho. As I posted the other day I had a good surf around the net, being in complete awe of some of the art/craft that people do. Amazing.

However, in running Helping [...]
