D, the wee-one and I, spent Friday afternoon at the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art and then we hopped back in the car and followed our dear friend to her and her partner’s abode. When we got there we were completely wiped-out, but happy. It’s impossible to be unhappy as a [...]
We woke up on Friday morning and eventually got our act together. We had a tasty breakfast, went for a walk, and looked at some public art.
The wee-one needed a nap, but D and I could not bare the thought of another minute in our hotel room, so instead we went for a drive.
We drove [...]
My goodness. What an adventure! We got home this evening and lugged wee-one, all of our luggage and craft bounty up the stairs, returned the rental car, got the wee-one to sleep, unpacked kinda, ordered Chinese food and felt our brains melt.
Oh what a fantastic time!
DAY 1
On the first day there we walked [...]
Or the wonderful Wizard of Worcester as the case may be.
My family and I are off for a long weekend in Western and Central Massachusetts. This trip will include stops at tons of places I find inspiring. Among them is the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art. I visited the museum [...]
I played with this collage today, but it is not going anywhere. At one point she wore a top hat. At one point she was purple. I printed her out and embroidered a bit but then tossed the embroidered girl. I realized I cannot figure out what to do next because [...]
I have been stretched thin in recent days and as much as I would like to say I have been throwing myself into art exploration, I cannot. If only I could clone myself.
I was finally working on a new digital collage today (of the thank you note variety) when I stopped to open my package [...]
I had a wonderful vacation from my “increasingly inward looking + increasingly busy mommy life” yesterday. (Do I need to tell you I am exhausted?) I spent time with awesome women hanging out, chatting, and drinking (a tad too much).
I was in such a good mood when I returned home AND THEN the cherry on [...]
A couple days ago, I decided to introduce my daughter to Sesame Street – which it so happens, is available On Demand through our cable provider. Who knew that the animation would be so inspirational? Not me. This particular episode was brought to us by the letter “P” and the animation included a [...]
It turns out that this is my fifty-first post… wow. I have been really enjoying the whole process of not just exploring my creative interests, but also blogging about the journey.
Way back in the last century (1999-2000), I had a blog (Bibliogeek) but the whole blogging thing never really took. I lived in [...]
I made another ATC today; this time I used digital collage. I was inspired by a page I stumbled across in Why Birds Sing: a Journey Through the Mystery of Birdsong. According to a list of bird sound mnemonics, the Yellow Rail’s bird call sounds like a typewriter. I found an audio [...]
