Painting with fabric; tiny fabric houses in jars.
I paint with fabric. Make-believe is real. I imagine and create (happy people in) tiny, quirky houses.

Love displaying & organizing colorful jewelry!
My jewels (90% costume, made by me, gifts or a garage sale find) are part of my everyday experience. I want to see them, like art. The colors, shapes and textures inspire me. All thrown together, when I see them, they are like a changing piece of art. They are the first thing I shed…

When you can’t part with it..
I’m a sucker for a clearance aisle. Last year after school started, Target had one of my favorite things on sale, composition notebooks for $0.12 each. COME ON! You know I stocked up. And then, there they sat in a pile for the longest time. I was blogging, not journaling and if I was going…

Gift ideas..
Lately I find myself crafting more, blogging less. These are gift bags I decorated with leftover scrapping supplies. Each gift was a piece of jewelry for the ladies I work with at Jackie Clark Designs. I can’t stop making things, and they are often the recipients of my craft experiments or my shopping spree’s from…

Buttons, bracelets, charming of course!
