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.

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.
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.
Garter knit stitch
Diagonal Knit Stitch
Hurdle Knit Stitch
So Far I made:
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….
This was a great recipe. It turned out delicious. It was like I was in Paris France again.
Ingredients
2Â large eggs
¾ cup milk , dairy-free use almond, cashew or coconut milk.
½ cup water
1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon xanthan gum (leave out if your flour already has it)
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons melted butter , for dairy-free use Smart Balance butter
Directions
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.
