Once again, two birds with one stone! I did my Photoshop challenge of the week & my final day of the 30 Days of Creativity. I used a photo that I took this weekend at a wedding we went to of my husband & my youngest son. I used this tutorial to produce a high-key black … More Challenge #1 – High-Key B&W Portrait Effect & 30 Days of Creativity – Day 30
I’m not usually a big fan of pastels on myself, but I love these two vintage necklaces that I thrifted along the way. This outfit was vintage inspired & super comfortable for running errands with the boys. My Blowfish shoes are so comfortable – I can wear them all day & they are fab. I love … More Pastel Goodness
I have been fighting a headache all day – I think it’s the leftovers of my, thankfully short-lived, cold. Headaches & creativity do not dwell peacefully together. I thought I wasn’t going to manage a creative act today, but I decided to get my sketchbook out & see what happened. I ended up doing a … More 30 Days of Creativity – Day 29
I mentioned & posted pictures of the outdoor chalkboard that we set up for our boys. It is a total hit. Jude loves to go out & draw on it. So thankful that we did it. I used the chalkboard as my backdrop for my pictures when I wore this outfit & of course, Jude … More Artist in Residence
I made this recipe using steelhead trout I got at Costco. I thought it would be more like a white meat fish, but it seemed a lot like salmon. It was a super simple recipe, but it was basically fish with bacon – not saying that’s a bad thing, but it seemed very simple. I actually … More Challenge 3 – Trout Navarra-Style & 30 Days of Creativity – Day 28
I finally did it! I made a fascinator. I have been wanting to make one for ages, but have been kind of intimidated. I decided that my first attempt would be a Summery fascinator that wouldn’t look heavy, but I also didn’t want it looking too bridal so I went black & white. I even … More 30 Days of Creativity – Day 27
My creative act yesterday was to take a few pictures of my boys at the wedding we went to. This is one of my favourites. Sometimes I am just blown away by how amazing my boys are. Truly blessed. Today, I got out my calligraphy pens & wrote out a quote on an Artist Trading … More 30 Days of Creativity – Days 25 & 26
…and we’re gonna get married. Well, I’m not getting married, I already am. And we’re not going to a chapel, we’re going to a park. And they’re already married in a civil ceremony, but this is a wedding before family & friends, but it’s still a great song. It was a great wedding too, simple, … More Going to the Chapel…
It’s a thrill to make it through Week 3. The first time I did the Couch to 5K program it was on the third day that I wasn’t sure I would be able to make it home on my own. I developed bursitis in both of my knees & was in intense pain & barely … More Couch to 5K – Week 3
I’m back! Had a couple of days without doing anything intentional – I cooked meals, put outfits together, played with the boys, but none of it felt like an intentional act of creativity. It’s been a really bad week sleep-wise & I think that has contributed to my lethargy. Snapping out of it now though. … More 30 Days of Creativity – Day 24
