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!

Our Camp; My first Procreate Art without a Tutorial

 My First Procreate Painting with No Tutorial

Our Camp, Procreate/Ipad Digital Art, no tutorial

I'm learning!  I had so much fun making this.  It's not perfect, but it's the best I can do so far, lol.  I made this painting/drawing/illustration (what are they called, lol) for my Dad.  

This is our family cottage, which we call camp.  I sketched and then painted this based on a photo I took this summer while I was out there. I want to try to make it again a year from now to see if I've improved.  

My Dad loves it; it was part of his 82nd birthday.

Cute Autumn Squirrel, Procreate Digital Art

Cute Autumn Squirrel, Procreate, Ipad, Digital Art, #Genevieve's Design Studio


I Love Procreate and my Ipad Pro!

I made this adorable illustration (a few days ago), following a tutorial by the talented Genevieve from Genevieve's Design Studio on Youtube.  

I made some changes from the original  Since it's Autumn here in Canada, I changed the leaves to colorful maple leaves, instead of using green elm type leaves.  I also shortened the squirrels ear because we don't have long eared squirrels here, and I changed the mouth style and position. Other than that, I followed the tutorial exactly.

Happy Thanksgiving! Today's Art is Thanksgiving Themed.

Procreate Art, from tutorial by Tatyworks

 Thanks to Tatiana from Tatyworks for this fun tutorial!  Today is Thanksgiving here in Canada so this is perfect. 

I changed the tutorial a small bit...the only changes I made were to make the border red instead of white, and to add the words Happy Thanksgiving. I need to learn how to do calligraphy as my penmanship is awful, lol.
