  • Exploring some pattern design. Definitely a bit Scandinavian inspired...feels good to stretch and play without any end in mind. . . . . #motherartist #doitfortheprocess #yearofcreativehabits #creativelifehappylife #kindlecuriosity #wearethemakers #watercolor #artistresidencyinmotherhood #aotehandbookyear3 #surfacepattern
  • Garden pretties on my desk. 😍🌿🌼 I don't know why the Muse is visiting in such an intense way, 🤣 but I've blogged for the fifth day in a row after yearsss of infrequently writing there. Today I wrote about how a particular episode from The Mason Jar (@circeinstitute ) has really been inspiring me and making me think: Cultivating a Culture of Service, with Karen Kern and Christina Davis. I'd love to hear your thoughts. Hop on over to the blog or chat here! {Link in profile}
  • Started a new notebook this morning. (I love Decomposition Books!) I've really been enjoying the new season of The Mason Jar from @circeinstitute . The first eight episodes are with Karen Kern and friends like Elsie (@farmhouse_schoolhouse ) about cultivating culture in our homes. It's so rich and full of treasure for any parent! Even if you don't homeschool you'll find plenty to inspire and challenge you. I have been jotting down "thoughts to think" (as Pooh says) regarding these episodes. Best use of a new notebook I can think of! {Link in profile, via my blog} Have you been listening? What has really struck you? Tell me in the comments or hop on over to the blog. I'd love to hear.
  • I was first introduced to this verse by the @commonplacequarterly ladies. It was part of a print of the whole of Psalms 46 that came as goodies with issue 2. (Absolutely wonderful publication, by the way. I cancelled all my other subscriptions to keep this one. It is that good!) I wanted to pull out this verse in particular; it's been encouraging to me every day to remember this promise. I also tucked some words on sickness from Elder Aimilianos on the blog {link in profile}; his wisdom has been "strengthening my legs" for the marathon of life with kids with chronic illness. Perhaps it will encourage and strengthen you too? . . . . #motherartist #doitfortheprocess #yearofcreativehabits #creativelifehappylife #kindlecuriosity #wearethemakers #watercolor #artistresidencyinmotherhood #childrensillustration #aotehandbookyear3 #watercolortypography
  • This one was a fun collaboration with my kiddos. We were waiting for something, and they picked what I should draw and what colors I should use. We realized after we were done that it looked like Ron, Harry, and Hermione, so the story goes that Ron cast a de-gnoming charm in the Weasley garden that went all wrong, which is why Harry looks surprised as they look into the creek. 🤣 . . . . . #motherartist #doitfortheprocess #yearofcreativehabits #creativelifehappylife #kindlecuriosity #wearethemakers #watercolor #artistresidencyinmotherhood #childrensillustration #aotehandbookyear3
  • I'm sensing a theme.😏 Wishing for more time to work on them! 🌻🌼🌿🦋🐞 . . . . . #motherartist #doitfortheprocess #yearofcreativehabits #creativelifehappylife #kindlecuriosity #wearethemakers #watercolor #artistresidencyinmotherhood #childrensillustration #aotehandbookyear3
  • Our garden has really taken off despite the late planting. It's not as large or extensive as we normally do but at least we have a garden! We still can't seem to keep the peppers alive. I'm not sure why. 🤔🌿💫🌟🌿
  • I feel like I'm finally coming up for air after three plus months of non-stop intensity. There's more ahead, I know, but grateful for the deep breath today. We finished our school year up on Friday (having to go a bit long due to medical stuff, as usual). All of our older kids will be at camp in July; that will feel strange but so good for them. I am excited to get into some projects that have been on the back burner for so long-itching to paint. And sew. The mending pile is huge! 😱 ✨ I wrote a bit about my grandmother's death and what it is teaching me on the blog, if you're interested. {Link in profile.} It's an important story...I rarely have a moment where I feel like if I don't sit down and write this, right this second, it'll fly away on me, but this one literally fell out by force, a few mornings ago. I was surprised and questioned why I needed to write it right that second; the answer came less than twelve hours later. The Holy Spirit moving. I hope it encourages you. ✨ Much love to you, friends! I've missed being actively here.
  • Peonies. Peonies that have been a secret wish for weeks, something that felt beyond reach. A gift given. I can't even tell what this week has been, but it sums up in these peonies. Friends. Community. Prayer. The bitter and the sweet. Joy and sadness. Hope and lament. But beauty. Shot all through. So so grateful for community today. 🌼🌿✨💫
