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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 – …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
I was just struck when I saw a painting by UK artist Chris Rivers on Laura Brown’s Instagram feed the other day and then spent the next 20 minutes or so checking out his work. It’s amazing. His latest works are what are so intriguing to me… the soft blurred paints mixed with the harder …
Dentist turned famous digital artist, Sara Shakeel IS the Original Crystal Artist and with over 465K followers, you’ve probably already seen her work. She curates photos of everyday objects and using crystals, rainbows, diamonds and all the pretty shiny sparkly things you can imagine, injects new life into the ordinary. Infusing her crystals into celebrity …
I just love these little handmade cross-stitch embroideries by ThreadorDeadClub! I bought them over a month ago now… (where does the time go!?) and have been wanting to share them ever since! The “UGH” is for my home office, the “Don’t be a Prick” is for Dogwood ~ as a helpful reminder to all of …
