This site is about my life in the art studio. It includes drawings, paintings, knitting and cross stitch and fun art techniques. I will also include recipes and yoga and book reviews. This is a lifestyle blog with intentional and simple living ideas.
Lately I have been painting in my art journal. I use acrylic paint. The intention of painting in a journal is to practice mindfulness and relaxation.
It’s the end of the year and I realized I just haven’t been writing in this blog much. I hope to publish more and make more art next year.

I drew these animal drawings in a sketchbook with colored pens.

Have Fun with Left-Over paint
I collected the dripping paint onto a tray. After I was finished with the coaster, I took paper and pressed it into the left over paint and made a print. I also brushed paint into my sketch book. This is a fun background for a sketch book multi-media artwork.
I hope you enjoyed this. I have a youtube video about it as well. Check it out.

Second page out of 18 pages are completed!
It’s been a long time since I worked on my cross stitching.
There’s so much detail and changing of colors. I have been enjoying it.
I will get to work on it more because I’m working from home now. And in between my breaks I can stitch a little.
Happy Day

I have been wanting to knit a blanket. I decided to come up with my own design with stitches that I enjoy knitting. I might throw in a new stitch as well. This yarn is made by Big Twist Tweed, 382 yd. I am using 6.0 mm knitting circular needle. 33 stitches are cast on, but hurdle stitch, you need 34 cast on stitches.
I made 3 different stitch patterns, 6 pieces of each. There is a plan for 3 more different stitch patterns to go. I am starting with a small amount and see how much bigger I want the blanket.
Update on my cross stitch Rue Paris. It has been a long time since I stitched on my cross stitch and talked about it….

Dahlia flower meaning:
wealth and elegance, and also a symbol for love.
This is dahlias that I have on my patio. Today I had a few minutes and got my watercolor paints and sat outside for awhile to capture it in real life.
I ended up taking a photo, because the bugs were biting and the sun was too hot.
This is what I captured when painting outside.

I found this on the blog:https://www.mamaknowsglutenfree.com/gluten-free-crepes/#recipe
This was a great recipe. It turned out delicious. It was like I was in Paris France again.
Beat the eggs, add rest of the ingredients.
I had to use a mixer to get the batter smooth.
Drop 1/4 cup of batter into the heated pan. Cook for 1 minute. Flip and cook for 30 seconds to a minute.
Add fruit to the crepe.
Why the oranges in the photo? Because I was originally going to make crepes with oranges and squeeze some for the juice. After inspecting they were not good to eat. So strawberries and bananas were the next choice.
Yes I added chocolate syrup to mine!
Happy Day
