Writing, reading, and living a creative, awesome life.
Hey guys! So I’m doing a 365 lettering challenge this year (more on that Saturday or on Instagram daily!) and I thought I could tie it into writing. So… TA DA! Writer Word Wednesdays! Each Wednesday I’ll share a bit of hand lettering related to writing. I’ve got notebooks filled with notes from SCBWI conferences…
In this episode I talk about why I started the podcast, a little bit about me, and about some of the things I use to keep me accountable and on track in the New Year. Search Makers Are Magic to find me in Itunes 🙂 In this podcast I talked about: Ali Edwards and One…
Since I had two weeks off, and my boyfriend, Danny, also is off from school, we wanted to go somewhere fun, but also somewhere that didn’t cost a lot of money. California’s got a lot of great options, and I’m sure we’ll explore those more as we go, but we had our eyes set on:…
The View from Sunday, January 4,2015: Wrote down this song so Danny could learn to sing it. We sang it all the time as kids, and when it’s a birthday for one of the kids in our family, we all call that one and sing it. Thought it was about time Danny got used to…
Ok, so I love New Year’s. Or maybe I just love the tradition I started a few years back of writing myself a letter to open the next year. I thought, for my first FREE ART project of 2015, I should share this with others. So eight of these got sprinkled around downtown Santa Cruz.…
Hi everyone! Kidlit Tea Party time! Not sure what it is? Click here to find out. Last month, my goal was: to write or revise for 30 minutes a day, or #WriteDaily30 if you’re on twitter. It’s a challenge Linda Urban came up with. Her post about it is here, mine is here. And how…
I have a Little Free Library. It’s not official, and you sort of can’t get into it right now. My library’s in a filing cabinet that’s being supported by a cheap ikea table that got wet and is failing. So the fence in front of my house is not a bit taller than the drawer,…
Hi everyone. It’s KE DEBT FREE paycheck #6! To learn more about this project, click here and check out the first post! So, I made it through Christmas! Granted, I only really had to buy for Danny, and a few other small things, since my family doesn’t REALLY do Christmas, and we weren’t there with…
Ok, I’ve done some knitting before. Mostly scarves and the occasional gnome. (I was training to be a Waldorf teacher. Gnomes are important!) Once I knit a few things, I actually hopped over to crochet, and started making hats, bags, blankets, and the occasional finger puppet. For some reason, I decided I wanted to knit…
I can’t remember where I saw the idea to make a photo advent calendar, but I knew I wanted to right away. A way to look back over the year? So fun. Even more fun now that Danny and I are in the same place. For 8 months out of the year we were on…
