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.


Take care!

All the Acrylic Ornaments I Painted for Christmas

 Acrylic Painting: Christmas Ornaments

I decided to learn how to paint with acrylics and started with some simple landscapes painted on wooden ornaments. 

Little Acrylic Painted Christmas Ornaments. 

I used Monte Marte Acrylic Paint, plus cheap dollar store paint for the base (first coat). I sealed them with triple thick gloss from deco art, and am so pleased by how they came out.

The greens

I followed a Youtube tutorial by Jasmine,  which you can find here: Wood Slice Painting on Ornaments

The blues

The pinks and purples

The oranges

Crocheted Christmas Gifts: Little Cars

 These are the crocheted items I made for Christmas this year

I made a series of cars; the smaller ones were keychains, and the larger ones were not.


Here's my cousin Johnny with his; I made it to look like his racecar.

My 91 year old Uncle Buck loved his.






I had to look at a pic to try to make Johnny's car, lol.



My best friend's Grandson loved his car.
Even my Dad loved his car keyring.


I wasn't able to get a pic of my cousin Andie with his car, unfortunately.
