I love making creative whims!

I love making stuff and therefore am always happy to support my daughters creative whims... because really who am I to talk? Macrame, knitting, sewing, felting, printmaking, painting, ceramics,  illustration, fabric dying etc? well I've tried it all (most)... some have stuck and I continue to grow those skills and others (to my husband's relief) I have dumped... One thing I am happy to support is origami, it is more of Miss B's thing than mine, but I appreciate the tactility, folding and construction of taking a plain unassuming piece of paper and turning it into a thing. So perusing the internet one day looking for lettering examples I found a paper alphabet that intrigued me enough to file away in the back of brain/pinterest to use as reference. And this is what I did with it....

Better late than never....

I've been trying to post once a day to keep me accountable,
but not only that, to keep me inspired.
Thinking constantly about what it is I love and what 
I want to do is keeping me engaged with my creative
side.
So even though this post is late, 
it is better than never.

I wanted to do a quick share of an upcoming project
with my beach combing finds yesterday....
There may be a little Macramé action going on.



Ps... Truth be told I am drinking wine and eating good food,
on a mini getaway with my husband 
(shh don't tell him I am blogging). 


I am posting this in between decadent meals
at wildly hip restaurants!!!
