We've been enjoying a winter storm here in Indiana. The kids are going on day three of school moving from in person to e-learning for the amount of snow we have had. They estimate we have had more than a foot of snow in 48 hours. Our family has been able to get out and walk, play, and even scrap the driveway a time or four now.

I love being inspired by other artists. Sometimes either the placement of their design, the colors they paired Continue Reading
The Plush Bear Tutorial
My seven year old cannot wait to be in charge. As the first born, he often thinks he is in charge or a part of our parental team.
