  • Our Nativity traditions seem to be in flux this year. We set up the tree last night and half wished we could wait a bit longer before we did; we haven't used our Advent wreath or Jesse Tree ornaments; the house is minimally decorated. Maybe it's just a phase, but personally, I am enjoying the stillness.
  • And then this winter wonderland happened. The BEST gift. We have an awesome sledding hill in our back yard.
  • Nothing like having twelve hours before dress rehearsal to finish a WHOLE tutu (Snow Queen), but at least she's pretty in the morning light. Send coffee, STAT. 😱 But keep it far, far away from the tutu! . . . . . . #handsewing #costumedesign #nutcracker2018 #ballet #astillsmallpoint #tutu #snowqueen
  • This is a cautionary tale in saying yes. Part of the reason I've been so quiet here on IG besides all of our fun medical adventures 😉 has been this behemoth. . I said yes to one thing and then through a confluence of events I got stuck with a lot more than I bargained for, with the weight of the entire production succeeding (or failing!) on my shoulders, with no help or assistance, except from my blessed husband and another homeschool mama that saw me drowning and stepped into help just recently. . I won't ever say yes to this again. It's sort of a pity, really, because I realized in this yes how much I still love this kind of stuff. My minor was in Theater. . I dunno. Our entire Nativity season has been subsumed by this so far and it's hard. I feel super bah humbug and Grinchy right now because of it. But it will come to an end this weekend, and I will gratefully welcome the quiet hush of the rest of the season.
  • A peaceful moment on a very warm December afternoon...frankly, I can't believe it's December already. Dragging my feet on the Nativity season, no decorations or anything yet...wanting the hygge without the hustle that the holidays always seem to bring...
  • My sweet little birds. I never had a chance to finish up the collection of accompanying prints and cards to go with this collection (and who knows when I'll actually get to?). I know some of you have been patiently waiting so it's time to let them take wing. You can see more views in my Stories. - If you are interested in any (or all) of these, DM me! - Acrylic and watercolor on wood panel, 6 x 6 inches. - $55
  • "Thou hast brought me into life as into an enchanted paradise. We have seen the sky like a chalice of deepest blue, where in the azure heights the birds are singing. We have listened to the soothing murmur of the forest and the melodious music of the streams. We have tasted fruit of fine flavour and the sweet-scented honey. We can live very well on Thine earth. It is a pleasure to be Thy guest. Glory to Thee for the Feast Day of life Glory to Thee for the perfume of lilies and roses Glory to Thee for each different taste of berry and fruit Glory to Thee for the sparkling silver of early morning dew Glory to Thee for the joy of dawn's awakening Glory to Thee for the new life each day brings Glory to Thee, O God, from age to age" (Athakist of Thanksgiving, Ikos 2) 🍁🍂🍃 Blessings on your celebrations tomorrow friends! Happy Thanksgiving! #astillsmallpoint
  • I love the little woodland critters keeping watch over our dining room table. We've been finding one here, one there at different stores, over the last few weeks and I smile every time I pass by.
  • Coffee shop doodle. Trying to screw my head back on straight after two weeks of crazy back to back. 😬😌😉
