I've been missing in action these past few days. Mostly because I'm working on my studio/office re-do. It's been on my mind for several months already, but I really needed to reorganize and create workstations. Most of what I did for the business was in two areas (sewing and creating artwork). I really need three areas: computer area, sewing area, and design area).  If you follow me on Pinterest, you may have noticed that I've been pinning project tables. The ones inspired by Pottery Barn... Read Full Story

  I've been reading this book. My goal is to find a personal solution to help better manage  my time, home and family.  It's been a challenge to work at home and balance family schedules. One of the systems that I have in place is our family's  meal planning. I've tried other meal planning programs and we just didn't seem to click. I needed something that was VERY simple and without a service that required  a monthly fee for something that I could  easily create myself... Read Full Story

Pin It   Before After I finally got a chance to go back into the studio to finish work on my 2012 gratitude journal. This weekend I began adding some of my favorite inspirational quotes. Most of what I have are clips from my internet readings, article notes that I come across, quotes, and mental notes from the day. The goal: to have more gratitude in 2012. {I'm thinking about going back and adding a 2012 banner on the cover.} The materials: -4x6 spiral hardbound sketch... Read Full Story

I've been sick for the last few days. Too sick to even get online.  I just wanted to crawl back into my cave and cuddle up with my warm blankets. Until now I'm slowly feeling much better. Much better to get online and browse Pinterest for inspiration. Here are my few random favorites... The last one is totally random. At least something to look forward to when I'm feeling 100% better ;)  Source: flickr.com via Katie on Pinterest Source: flickr.com via Katie on... Read Full Story

Photo credit My one little word for 2012 is Pause. Nothing fancy. But very reflective. This word stems from a personal outcome I had in 2011. My grandmother passed away just right before Thanksgiving 2011. She was living in Thailand at the time and passed  away of a stroke. It was sudden. We had no idea it was her that would pass away because right before then, my grandfather was taken to the hospital with several complications. We thought he wasn't going to make it...

Well, I did it. I posted My last Daily Gem for 2011 yesterday. I still can't believe it. Sharing an inspirational quote EVERY single day of 2011. That's 365 days my friend! Now that we are in the first day of 2012... I kind of feel lost without My Daily Gems. Do you know what I mean? I looked forward to them every day. Now what to do? Well, I'm going to go forward with no fear for 2012. I know 2011 was such a tough year. I know many who are looking ahead to what this... Read Full Story
