Everybody has something that makes them happy that may not be the most practical of things. Maybe making models *ahem Mr*, or collecting plates, or maybe cute vinyl toys. I might beguilty of that last one too. My small obsession is pretty appropriate considering who I am and what brings me joy. I collect vintage wall mounted pencil sharpeners. What makes these completely...

Between the Real and the Odd

3 Comments art, drawing, Portfolios, sketch

Art is always an evolution and lately I've been playing around in my Ballpoint Pen Sketchbook, seeing if I could get something part way between my realistic style and my Odd style. Here's what I came up with... What do you think?An need smish of both worlds. Kaylee and her crew look nothing like, at 6 years old, that they did in year one, and while I don't foresee them having any...

Birthday Hat

2 Comments crafting, Uncategorized

I haven't had crafty mojo for the last 3 months at least, besides coloring and drawing all my supplies have been gathering dust pretty much. When we were planning for this week's Some Odd Girl birthday celebration Melissa suggested making our own party hats, it was not something I'd ever made and it made my crafty mojo peek up out of its long slumber. The first thing I did was to make a...

Many ups, many downs, a ton of learning and learning things I didn't think I'd ever need to....

2016 OLW & Goals

2 Comments life

Today I want to share my personal and professional goals for 2016.I like goals vs resolutions because they seem more like actionable plans. I'm a list maker and love checking things off, it gives you those little rewards of accomplishment along the way that are motivating to keep checking them off and goals work with that quite well. Each year I pick my "one little word" and create goals to...

new blog posting schedule

7 Comments business, life

For a while I've been struggling with what to post on my blog on a regular basis. There's a bunch of seemingly disparate things going on around here that I didn't think I could figure out a way to make sense of posting without a rhyme or reason. Sunday it dawned on me while looking at my blog, which I had redone last month with a new tag line, Arts and Crafts. It seems pretty simple and pretty...
