It’s GROUNDHOG DAY! Groundhog Day was always one of those days that you acknowledged but didn’t make much of a fuss about, (unless winter has been an especially cold and snowy one…) until the movie “Groundhog Day” came out. I fell in love with the movie immediately. We even had a VHS version, then aContinue reading “That’s Right WoodChuck Chuckers…”

Friday the 13th
Today is Friday the 13th and I decided to play around with my Arteza brush pens. I used a sketchbook made out of the Arches Text Wove paper which can be a little temperamental for using the brush pens. Black cats are not bad luck so I thought this kitty would be purrfect for today….
Happy Rubber Ducky Day
Here is something to make you smile as the day comes to a close. I have been trying to get to this all day and finally managed to find 40 minutes to work on this. I did a pen and ink sketch first thing this morning in my “dailies” sketchbook and used my sketch asContinue reading “Happy Rubber Ducky Day”
Carve December – Day 31
Yeah, today is the final day! Here is today’s stamp, which is inspired by my three flowering aloes. I never knew Aloes got flowers and mine must be pretty frisky because they keep flowering multiple times a year! I also took a photo of all of the stamps (all 31 of them!) and it’s niceContinue reading “Carve December – Day 31”
Carve December Day 30
Another nature inspired stamp. We have peacocks that live in the area and they get a little noisy. However, that noose inspired this stamp! Whew! One more day!
Carve December Day 29
I am really excited about today’s stamp. I just randomly drew the design based on my roses. I was thinking “rose hips” and voila! Here’s my design! I am also really excited that I only have two more stamps to carve, too! It was a tough month compounded by the additional twist of getting sick,Continue reading “Carve December Day 29”
Carve December Day 28
It was surprisingly nice enough outside today where I could sit and work in the open air, instead of from inside the house. It’s nice to sit outside again, it looks so pretty with all of our poinsettias back out. They were in the shed for a couple of days to protect them from theContinue reading “Carve December Day 28”
Carve December Day 27
This one surprisingly came out as I had hoped. I originally wanted to cut the shape out but I wanted to get today’s stamp finished with minimal mishaps. I decided to carve the line and I am pretty happy that it has the delicate shape that I was hoping for. Enjoy!
Carve December Day 26
Here is today’s stamp…
Merry Christmas!
Carve December Day 25 is a nod to Tom Hegg’s poem “A Cup of Christmas Tea.” YouTube has several versions of the author reading his poem. I recommended reading it and/or listening to it. I hope you all get the chance to have that cup of tea, (coffee, cocoa or whatever your warm beverage is)Continue reading “Merry Christmas!”
