I continued my ink and watercolor nature journal in volume 2!
I tried my hand at linocutting and made R stamps.
I picked up nature journaling through ink and watercolor and identifying things in my yard. John Muir Laws gets some hearty gratitude, among others. There’s a new gallery for anyone who’d like to see more.
I made a special cat doll for my niece using a pattern from Tilda’s World.
I played around with my watercolor style on some postcards I sent people.
I recycled an old calendar into pretty homemade mailing envelopes.
Inspired by Michael Halbert, I tried my own hand at scratchboard art and created a small “R” design with an Ampersand kit.
I retold a trip to Michigan as a fairy tale – but aborted the imagery after a huge mistake.
I went on my first (and last) cruise from Boston to Quebec City and recorded the “adventures” in a watercolor travel journal.
I continued my watercolor travel journal with a trip to Brooklyn.
I made a mixed media art piece that captured my thoughts about a trip to Shawnee National Forest – as well as an ink and watercolor travel journal that documented my time there.

Just a post to explain my thoughts on what I keep referencing as MIOMIO 2025, or “Move It On or Move It Out”.
I’ve decided to move on from Willowynn’s butterfly pattern – another successful MIOMIO act!
I completed a lingering wristlet key fob from SewCanShe’s pattern as part of my MIOMIO 2025.
I decided to “Move It Out” but show you the Picnic Bug from Ann Wood Handmade first.
With fabric and thread and a few other supplies, I created a small domestic scene that, for me, represents my MIL.
A quick note to share Pintangle’s TAST project, and how I’ll be using it on my Hexie Dreams quilt.
I finished an old cross stitch of a cat face as part of my Move It On or Move It Out series (MIOMIO) for 2025.
Hmmm… You guys could have used this money to goto Hong Kong with me. I mean who cares about things like ‘property values’ , ‘long term investments’ , and ‘living in nice places’ …. I saw Monkeys!
Aye, it might have been worth it but we are getting really tired of not having real food around!
AWESOME!!!! I can’t wait to see it when it’s done!
Me neither! 😀 😀
