delighting in the ordinary
April 24th, 2012 by Jennifera fool and her rhinestones
March 21st, 2012 by Jennifer…are soon enveloped in cake stand decorating and inhaling WAY too much superglue. I may have lost some brain cells this evening. But the GLIMMER, it’ll all be worth it!
art is in the eye (or mouth) of the beholder
March 20th, 2012 by JenniferI was in line @ Target last night…you know, the ‘essentials’….eye drops, plastic bin for turning mayhem into contained mayhem…and Mac Mac. (That’s what the tiny tot in the cart ahead of me said as she pawed my box of pasta GOLD, a.k.a.: Kraft Mac & Cheese)
She was little, and pretty cute, so I refrained from body checking her for the boundary infraction (no one touches my Mac Mac and I don’t share it either).
I dare say, I have ‘art’ed up Kraft’s creation a tad. A HUGE scoop of homemade veggie soup (helloooooo nutrients!) and a side of Irish beer (thank you, St. Patty’s Day). I’m just west of Arkansas and a hair less guilty about feeding my body neon orange pasta.
Mmmmmmmm…
Now…back to making some DIY cake stands.
it may not have sprung yet
March 16th, 2012 by Jennifer…but it’s about to! Spring, that is. Two short days away folks….yippy!
In early honor of what is a MOST delicious season, a few snippets of what I found outside my door this morning.
These guys pop up (ALL over) on their own every year..how nice of them.
Petals and hula hoops…what’s a girl to do?
And then there’s David (Dah-veed) keeping a tender eye on the whole she-bang. He’s like the orchestra conductor. Little guy, but LOTSA garden magic!

sweet freedom
March 5th, 2012 by JenniferI have absolutely enJOYed the challenge of ‘art every day’ (except for the MUDslide that was my last post – creating under pressure did NOT do me proud that time) *and*….I’m done.
He asked me how I was going to ‘stop’ before reaching my ‘art every day for 30 days’ goal (accountability to ‘the blog’ and all)….well, just like this I guess. The last thing I want is for this space to be some sort of self-imposed ’guilt whip’ and I have control over that much.
If you know me, you KNOW I have other time sensitive (love-ly) things on my TO-DO list that need some serious doing…and it’s time to stop distracting myself with challenges and get back to the business at hand.

The sweetest freedom is that which we grant ourselves.
Alameda Antique Faire (March 3, 2012)
the chapter where we skip Days 10 & 11
March 2nd, 2012 by Jennifer…and move right into Day 12
it was a ‘doodle day’…re-introduced myself to my watercolor paper, and played with paint & ink.
watercolored then ‘wallpapered’ this gal into my Spanish book..
Day 9
February 28th, 2012 by Jennifer
Days 6 & 7
February 26th, 2012 by JenniferDay 6
…a bit of a carry-over from Day 5 as the spray painting/drying saga is lasting longer than I imagined. Hence, this particular piece will unveil itself in stages. This gal and her accoutrements will soon join the white plate and become one, tres romanTIQUE!
Day 7
A Golden Gate Fields wooden dollar I found on the sidewalk and gussied up, taDA!
