2019 Collage

January 28, 2019Categories Crafts, Geekdom1 Comment on 2019 Collage

Elisabeth had a great idea at the beginning of the new year -  create a collage of what we envision for the year and want to strive for. That’s right up my alley (like the painting from earlier) so I got on board and after she collected a variety of magazines we set to work.…

Painting

January 24, 2019Categories Crafts, Work1 Comment on Painting

Little easel Tuesday I stayed after work to take part in Canvas & Croix - a painting class with La Croix to drink instead of wine. One of my teammates asked me to go with her and since I had wanted to go to the ones in the past, I said yes. What a great…

Because it was going to be so extremely hot today I watered my plants this morning to give them a bit of a buffer from the heat. While I was out in the front, our lovely giant bee friend stopped by to hang out with my flowers. I was able to get a fairly decent…

January 15, 2018Categories Colorado, Crafts, Geekdom1 Comment on Cross stitch & Botanic Gardens

On Saturday, I went to a cross stitch "class" that one of my local libraries was hosting. A few months ago I decided I wanted to try out cross stitching as an adult. I got an awesome cross stitch pattern from my parents for Christmas but then realized, "This is a huge pattern and I…

Art, games, and musicals

August 14, 2017Categories Crafts, Geekdom1 Comment on Art, games, and musicals

Yesterday I made some art, played Pandemic Legacy, and ordered Book of Mormon tickets! Using a postcard, sticker, and polaroids from the Grand Lake trip, I put together a little art piece to hang on the wall. Although the background doesn’t look as bright as I thought it would, I like it. I can always…
