  • Sometimes, there's nothing like the gift of a clean sink in the evening at the end of a long day, knowing that your family has eaten well by God's grace, and all set to rights...
  • Today was just one of those days that was nonstop out and about. I was so grateful to sink into the couch late this afternoon and just breathe. I love what a soft restful space our living room is...
  • Another couple from the 1910/20s, I think. Their marriage day. I am low key obsessed with old-timey couples. 💕👀😍 . . . . #sketchbook #motherartist #doitfortheprocess #yearofcreativehabits #creativelifehappylife #fromabove #kindlecuriosity #wearethemakers #charcoaldrawing
  • I keep working on male faces- still so much to learn. This is Chris Thile from an old promotional photo. On the right, an Eastern European dancer that was twirling around my brain. . . . . . #sketchbook #motherartist #doitfortheprocess #yearofcreativehabits #creativelifehappylife #fromabove #kindlecuriosity #wearethemakers #charcoaldrawing
  • It seems strange to see all of the back to school pictures with the summer season still heartily upon us, but yet, it's time! We won't start for another week or so; we typically don't start until after the Feast of Dormition. I have a few things I always re-read in early August as a way of preparing my heart for the task ahead: this week's read is 'Teaching from Rest' by Sarah Mackenzie. (@readaloudrevival ) It is SO good, and only gets better with time. If there was only one book I could hand a new homeschooling mom, it would be this one!
  • A little birdie stopped by to say hello. It makes me itch to try my hand at embroidery again. 🌟 . . . . . . #painter #sketchbook #mixedmedia#painteveryday #sketchdaily#motherculture #motherartist #artistmama#watercolor #illustration#windsorandnewton  #handbookjournalco#makearteveryday #365daysofpaint#illustratorsoninstagram #flashesofdelight#yearofcreativehabits#creativelifehappylife #doitfortheprocess#carveouttimeforart #astillsmallpoint
  • Hello, my name is Joy, and I am a brush killer. 😔🤣 In my defense, they've lasted almost a year, which is much longer than the first batch I destroyed, which barely lasted six weeks....
  • I remember when I first started the Handbook project, painting in earnest...I'd get so frustrated with what the paint would do, things just wouldn't come out like I saw in my head. I'm recognizing that stage again in the charcoal sketchbook. I haven't created enough yet to develop a shorthand, a knowledge of if this, then that, yet... so you keep working at it. Keep playing. Do it for the process. . . . . . #sketchbook #motherartist #doitfortheprocess #yearofcreativehabits #creativelifehappylife #fromabove #kindlecuriosity #wearethemakers #charcoaldrawing
  • I am so in love with this Watercolor sketchbook. It takes the color so beautifully. This was the first time I was painting something out of my head that I had a sudden sense of deja'vu. I've got a picture of this somewhere. It's the view from the road where we lived a few years back. I really miss that area! . . . . #sketchbook #painteveryday #motherartist #windsorandnewton #handbookjournalco #365daysofpaint #yearofcreativehabits #creativelifehappylife

Full Disclosure

I am an Amazon affliate- when I share books and you purchase them via that link, I get a percentage of the purchase. It fills up the coffee cup, which fills up the brain, which fills the blog up with words, which is always a good thing!
