Very brief history of my life: I was diagnosed with epilepsy when I was six or so. My parents raised me well and never let it hold me back. I've probably pushed those limits more than I should sometimes, but my family still loves me, my husband is still with me, and I know God [...]

A Friendly Blanket
I was done after the Hat Project. That was what I told everyone. I was just going to push through to the end of October, and then life would go back to normal. And then I noticed this Wildlife Afghans book had a deer pattern, and I immediately thought of a good friend of ours [...]
From Pigs to Portraits
In my last watercolor post, I mentioned that I had subscribed to a box from Let's Make Art, a small business just getting started in Hamilton, Missouri. In the September 2018 box, a project called "Piggy Pig" was included. It was super cute, and a lot of people (myself included) immediately made the jump to [...]
A Little Blanket Edging
While I was working on the Hat Project, the ladies group at my church decided to work on its own project: prayer blankets to offer to members and friends of our congregation who might need a pick-me-up or reminder that there are people out there who care for them and are thinking about and praying [...]

They sent you the materials for four watercolor projects each month (minus the brush and pan), and you could either watch along with their pre-recorded videos when they were released, or wait a few more days [...]
The Hat Project

One of the girls in my troop started a service project in October 2020 to collect handmade hats to be distributed through one of our local soup kitchens, which serves about 2000 people in an average month. She was [...]
Welcome to my Garden
So this probably isn't the best time... January isn't really the peak gardening season anywhere, even in south-central Texas. So my photos are pretty gross. However, we do have a couple of things going on right now, and the next couple of months are going to be filled with prep-prep-prep. I cannot wait for Spring! [...]
