Insert all the Ghost movie puns here πLast month, in an attempt to get out and try new things in the new town I now reside in, I signed up for a pottery class and it did not disappoint! Redlands Pottery Project is a community pottery studio that just opened this year. It’s quite large …
Art / And Still I Rise – DIY Camouflage Dot Painting
Happy Voting Week/Election Day Lovecats! Oh what a magical and insane time it is to be alive in this world! I hadn’t meant for this to be a political post, since I actually finished this painting a few weeks ago, but man is it fitting! However, I’m going to skip the political rhetoric and hope …
My Hollywood Regency 1940s Bathroom in Original Black & White & Yellow
One of my favorite things about my new house is this old bathroom… I JUST LOVE IT π€ π It’s black and white with a yellow tile counter and an arch over the tub/shower and it reminds me of all the bathrooms in all the old houses I grew up in as well as family …
Something Old & Something New & Original Artwork FOR SALE!
As many of you know, I’ve been writing and sharing pretty consistently at Substack since February 1st of this year… After about a year and a half of wondering what was next, waiting for my next BIG IDEA and coming up short, I set a goal for myself to write every day at Substack, which …
Happy Valentine’s Day Lovecats! / My Self-Love Experiment
In the fall of 2022 I embarked on a self-love experiment. I didn’t really realize it at the time, but when I rented my own townhouse on the lake and started living by my own rules, everything changed. But also, nothing changed… at first. But eventually, over time, little by little, I let go of …
CHEERS to 2023… New Year Giveaway!
It’s GIVEAWAY TIME, Lovecats! And I’m so excited to share. I haven’t launched a giveaway in ages and it makes me a little sad, I have to say… I LOVE being able to give a little something back to those of you who have followed along with my life’s journey all these years, through the …
DIY Abstract Art // How to Paint Over An Existing Canvas Painting
A few months ago… way back in summer, I had the urge to paint my drippy watercolor flowers that I had previously only done on paper, on a much larger scale and on a canvas. My first thought was to buy a pre-stretched canvas, but they are always so expensive and never in the larger …
Celebrating Spring with these Adorable Rabbit Sculpture Lamps
With spring in the air and Easter right around the corner, I couldn’t help falling in love with these adorably whimsical rabbit sculpture lamps that are equal parts Alice in Wonderland and Jeff Koons all wrapped up into one cute lamp. The addition of the collar as mini lampshade with just enough light to guide …
Art + Interiors / Decor + Photography // These Fine Walls Art Gallery
What began as a simple click through from an art gallery email quickly turned into a deep dive down a rabbit hole of gorgeous interiors styled with incredible photography. Originally I thought I’d share the art I was drooling over – since my art gallery days, art features have been a regular thing here – …
DIY Home Decor // Faux Stone Hand Sculpture, Statue, Art, Jewelry Holder
Okay so… this is a really simple DIY, almost unworthy of a post BUT it turned out pretty cute so I thought I’d share anyway. I did far more work to create my DIY Faux Stone Accent tables than I did on this, but since I had a little spray paint left over, I thought …
Give Yourself Permission to Be Creative
True to form, as soon as I made such an outrageously bold statement, declaring that I AM going to continue creating art, as if to somehow speak it into existence, I haven’t touched a pencil or paintbrush since. (insert eye roll emoji here) I know myself so well in this capacity that I often hold …
I think that I am kinda done, Can we just get to 2021? PLEASE
Hello Lovecats! After an accidental but oddly refreshing blogging hiatus, I am here just to say hi and chat a little. I am however, not making any claims about blogging regularly, as lately it just feels inauthentic, though as much as I’ve thought about it, I can’t seem to figure out why. Maybe it’s the …
DIY-ish // Fun Printable Coloring Art Prints – Digital Downloads
Lovecats! It’s a crazy time… How are you holding up? I hope you and your families are healthy and safe at home and even though this quarantine is probably making us all a little (or a LOT) stir crazy, at least we are protecting ourselves and our communities by staying home and staying well. It …
My Custom Paint By Numbers Paintillio Painting In My Office
Lovecats! I finished my painting and I LOVE IT! I had SO MUCH FUN painting this that I miss it now! It took me about two weeks to finish and was the thing I looked forward to the MOST every day. It’s one of those things you just can’t wait to finish but it’s bittersweet …
Sunday Crush // Custom Paint by Numbers by Paintillio
YOU GUYS. I’m CRUSHING HARD ON THIS! I don’t think I’ve been as excited about something like I am about this in a very long time! From the beginning of the year I’ve had an urge to paint, but I always found some excuse not to do it. And then at the beginning of February …
