Welcome to my blog
If you enjoy finding a lot of different outlets for your creativity, then we may just be kindred spirits.
This blog is an outlet for my interest in miniatures, crochet, plastic canvas, and many other various arts and crafts.
I also love walking, taking digital photos, and most recently, have rediscovered an old love...bike riding! I purchased an amazing new bike, a comfy Townie by Electra this summer, and have been having a grand time exploring the area as though for the first time. It's like being a kid again!
If you enjoy any of these things too, pour a cup of coffee and tea, sit down, and join me.

my version of Spring Fields, Procreate Art, #JamesJulierArtTutorials |
Spring Fields Landscape Art on Procreate
I had so much fun doing this beautiful digital art landscape today. I followed a tutorial by James Julier, on Youtube. It was so much fun, and I'm pretty happy with the results. My clouds need more work, but I'm happy with my trees, bushes, and field :-).

Kalimbas are AWESOME
I Discovered Kalimbas!
I am super excited because I used to play the guitar (years ago) and I haven't been able to play for a long time because of injuries and a wonky finger. So earlier this week I googled "musical instruments that don't require index fingers" lol, and a Kalimba was recommended.
I had no idea a Kalimba was, so I googled it, and instantly fell in love. I also fell down the Youtube rabbit hole and spent way too much time watching everyone playing Kalimba.
Then I checked on Amazon and was shocked by how affordable they are. So I bought one. And then another one. And then one for my best friend lol.
My clear acrylic Cat Kalimba arrived first, on Wednesday night. I was super excited and couldn't wait to play. But then on Thursday my uncle Carlo passed away unexpectedly. I spent the day with relatives.
On Friday I finally pulled out my Kalimba, and my best friend's Kalimba arrived, so we both started at the same time (she LOVES hers too).
Anyway, I decided to record my Kalimba journey. Here is the first song I learned; Kumbaya, my Lord.
I also learned how to do a greenscreen video, except I do not own a green screen and used a turquoise towel, so it's not perfect. Neither is my playing, but I LOVE it!
