Crafty Adventures
Cleaning the studio after winter and finally hanging art on the walls feels so good!
My comfy armchair wth the new collage above (yes, that bottom left canvas is blank. Seemed better to hang it now and decorate it later when I get to it)
the right side of my desk. a new backboard with hooks &
the rack for my threads
(some love notes from Willy & Aila on my tack board)
My workspace where I edit, check emails and fun stuff like that
The handpainted canvas to the left was a gift from my best friend Kris

On a Happy Note
c25k free app for iPhone (couch to 5k training program)
I just finished Week 4. I’m enjoying the armband option for phone. If you’re playing it aloud, be sure to face the bottom up towards your face so you can hear it. And if it rains, put a Ziplock bag over it! Voila. Dry phone!
There’s almost nothing that makes me happier than pool time on the weekend! Especially before my big work project ramps up!
Silly kids!
Watching 7 kids in a pool can be a little tricky, but its worth every second!
Finally- clean house makes me really happy!
