I’ve not made many chocolate cakes in my day, but I was determined to find the perfect recipe for Valentine’s Day. I looked high and low for recipes online that would yield a rich, satisfying result. When I came across this flour-less chocolate truffle cake, I knew I had found The One. I have […]

Lemonade it is.
My serger sewing machine broke this weekend and it looks like it will be a couple weeks before it is fixed. I couldn’t bear to have an empty shop on Etsy, so I’ve filled it with paintings! Yes, this is the first time I’ve posted my artwork for sale, and I’m kind of […]

Here is this week’s pianting. I started it a bit late, I think it was around 7:30p, but I did manage to finish it and I don’t mind how it turned out.
Tonight is John and Kristin’s rehearsal, tomorrow is the ceremony so watch for photos to come and pray for good weather!

I can never wait for Christmas. I guess I just can’t believe this summer is half over. A friend of mine had a diffuser in her kitchen that smelled like spiced cider and I could almost hear snow whipping around the trees. I shouldn’t smell it anymore…
I don’t think I’ve posted much this month, but […]

I just found out that the Roundhouse Gallery in Fort Collins is closing and feel like I’ve lost a friend. I really loved that place for several reasons. First and foremost, it was full of incredible art. It’s hard to find a place that sells quality, traditional art for such affordable prices. Second, the owners […]

I love these. Our friends at the Roundhouse Design Group have made a wonderful way to pass off your information by creating Yak Stubs. These aren’t your average business card. There are dozens of unique designs and more in the making. These are a great deal and have so much personality! Yak Stubs of your […]

I taught my second art class and assigned the boys’ first project today. It’s been a lot of fun! The boys have both declared to me that they LOVE art, so I hope they continue to even after my lectures…  It’s exciting for me to be able to teach this class. I don’t expect them […]

I taught my first art class today! I impart wisdom. The Thronsons are homeschooling their two boys and asked me to teach an art class for them once a week. I am really excited about doing this! Most of today was just going over the basics and fundamental elements of art, but I did give […]
