Trees Please
I can never stay away from painting trees for too long you know.
I’ve been craving spring and summer lately.
I miss green and pink.
I miss blossoms and warm grass.
I think these paintings really show my longing for some warmth.
The Original of this one is gone, but prints will be available.
Someone asked me if I painted willow trees, and I was surprised when I said no.
I love...
Brighter Days
Today feels like it should be the weekend.
I feel like I should lock myself into my studio and paint.
It’s very stormy and cold outside.
Very very dreary.
My favorite, minus the snow.
But even then, it’s nice to look at.
This weather is the most inspiring to me.
I could make myself a nice warm drink,
turn on my favorite music,
and paint.
Lately I’ve been...

The Hair Post
I’ve gotten many emails about my hair. How I get it to be so pink, who cuts it, who dyes it. What dye I use, what the back looks like, etc. So, here is a quick little post about my hair!
First off, I cut my own hair!
I’ve cut my own hair since I was 18. I’m pretty good at it.
I cut it about once a month with a regular pair of scissors, then trim it up with a pair of...

I’m so excited about this fun project from The Shine Project.
I think it’s a great and beautiful way to spread kindness and miracles.

Thursday Threads- Making Good Luck
Every time I wear this shirt I seem to have bad luck, like really bad, where I get hurt.
I’ve only worn it twice.
The first time, I was at a restaurant, accidentally bumped my elbow, which caused me to black out, which resulted in a pretty bad concussion.
The second time I wore this shirt, I bumped my knee really hard on my easel, and started to black out again.. I managed to lay...
Love That Grows
I got Wicket a few months after my Mowgli passed away,
and it wasn’t until just a few months ago that I realized how much I really love my Wickey.
Like, I am in love with this little puppy. Smitten really.
And then I remembered, that the same sort of thing happened with Mowgli.
I think that when a puppy is younger, you love them like a baby, and as they grow you start to love them...
The Power Of Words
I’m a quote person.
I love little quotes, and words of inspiration.
For quite a while now, I’ve been collecting my favorite quotes,
and putting them into a big folder on my computer.
Whenever I need a bit of inspiration,
I just read through my ever growing quote folder.
Yesterday, I took a bit of time to print my very favorite quotes
so I could have a quote...
March Sponsor Call
This March is going to be a good one. I tend to like the month of March. It signifies spring time, creating, and of course that little thing I call my birthday.
I’m actually secretly afraid of this March. It marks a whole year since Mowgli died.. but I will be making myself busy so I won’t have to think about that too much…
Anyways.. March is going to be a wonderful...
How I Made My Chair Cute- A Tutorial Of Sorts
Ok, I had plenty of people ask about how I made the chair’s slipcover.
So here is the main thing you will need.. lots of patience
I totally forgot to get lots of pictures,
probably because I was too busy quietly leaving the room to sit on the couch
with my face buried in the pillows.
So, here is the story of how I turned this…..
Into this…
First off, I got the...
Excursions, Taste Tests, and Success
Last weekend Brad and I went on a little adventure.
I was recommended to visit some places by a friend on twitter.
So, I did just that.
The first week in a new apartment, there are always things you need.
A new broom, tables, shelves, chairs… all sorts of things.
I had been on the hunt for the perfect chair for my shop.
Then I learned, chairs are expensive.
So, we added thrift...
Love And Kisses
Valentines Day is one of my favorites.
Well, it hasn’t always been, but now it is.
I wanted to share with you one of the things I did for Brad this year.
I love handmade gifts.
Some don’t..
But, I do.
So, every year I plan on making something for Brad.
Last year I sewed him a cute fabric notebook page
and embroidered a sweet little love note on...
A Spiritual Conspiracy
On the surface of the Earth exactly now there is war and violence and everything looks horrible. But, simultaneously, something quiet, calm and hidden is happening and certain people are being called by a higher light. A quiet revolution is settling from the inside out. From bottom to top. It is a global operation. A spiritual conspiracy. There are cells from this operation in every...

Today is going to be a beautiful day.
Brad and I are going to Salt Lake today to search for furniture and other fun things for the house.
I promised if he would take me today, I wouldn’t bother him all weekend so he could do music.
Today includes:

Welcome To My Home!
I finally have photos of my new home.
I’ve never done a “house tour” before.. so this is a first..
The entire house was smudged and blessed the way I was taught
from friend I made while living in California.
He is a Native American Healer, and he felt I needed know how to bless and clarify houses.
(This was when I worked as a medium for a paranormal investigating...
The Art Of Living
Originals and Prints available in the shop.
Deem every day of your life as a leaf in your history. Anonymous
Sometimes I get so scared that I’m not living enough.
I can’t just sit on the couch and do nothing.
That thought scares me.
I hate wasting days doing nothing.
If I feel as if I haven’t contributed, I get very sad and anxious.
I guess everyone has the option to...
Finishing Touches
The new house is about 99% finished. I can’t wait to show you pictures.
But, just to clarify, I do not own this house. I’m just renting it.
The approval process was background checks from the rental company.
But it is MY house to me!
I just have a few more things I need to get for The Studio.
(Yes, I just turned it into a proper noun.)
I need a nice rug or two, and a beautiful...
Monday Giveaway- Win a SHINE Necklace!
Hello everyone!
I am almost all the way unpacked!
Everything I own is in the new house, and it’s been a crazy weekend.
My feet are blistered from being on them so much.
My fingers feel a bit like velcro from all the scrubbing.
My back hurts from lifting.
But it’s been worth it!
I’m the type that keeps on going until it’s done.
I would rather be...
Hello New House!
Pictures of the empty house are here!
I’m currently sitting in the old apartment.
On the floor, where the couches used to be.
I love when things fall into place.
This week has literally been a blur.
Here is how it went:
Brad and I drove home a different way, so I could see the park where I used to take Mowgli on walks.
I saw a duplex for rent, and called the company. That place was...

Driven
I am not prepared for a full outfit post today.
These are some snap shots I took real quick of my new Star Wars shirt.
I mixed it with a very noisy sweater, and it didn’t match one bit..
and I liked that.
I am not sure if I have all that much to say today..
other than I haven’t felt quite like myself lately.
It’s probably the lack of sleep,
and the stress...
Rising Above
A little while ago I had a blog reader write to me for advice.
She was going through a hard time, and wanted some of my tips on being happy.
I told her the usual tips, but then I remembered one thing.
One thing that I didn’t read about, or see.
I dreamed about this one.
I told it to her,
and realized I hadn’t told anyone else this..
And who knows, maybe it could help.
