Every day of our lives we are on the verge of making those slight changes that would make all the difference. Mignon McLaughlin I just read in VK that Swedish photographer Sune Jonsson died at age 79 yesterday, so this is my little tribute to him. Sune Jonsson took many many black and white photos […]

Mindless clicking, bad habits and open tabs
I mostly write about creativity on my blog. Today I will write about the destroyer of creativity… I sit down by the computer to be productive. I have my cup of coffee, I have a list of things that I want to go through. Some of the tasks have been on my list for a […]
Shapes of sweet lovin in my Art Journal
As you continue to send out love, the energy returns to you in a regenerating spiral… As love accumulates, it keeps your system in balance and harmony. Love is the tool, and more love is the end product.Sara Paddison I’m back with the heart symbol as expected. I was deep into it about this time […]
Buying handmade journals and notebooks at Etsy
I think there are great stuff to be found if you dig around on Etsy, like awesome handmade journals. Check out Etsy – where I also sell stuff and sometimes journals. I’ve been checking out journals at Etsy, because I made that notebook junkie magnet so I’ve been thinking of my notebook addiction, and sporting […]
Keeping a diary is one of my good habits
In 2008 I filled three whole journals with my almost daily writing; complaints, thoughts, plans, calendar drawings, questions, doodles and lists. I think I do this because it’s habitual. I started as a kid and I just never stopped. It’s like brushing your teeth or eating breakfast, habits you keep doing even though you’ve forgotten […]
My blank books still haunt me
Let us not, you and I, be paralyzed by the sometimes madness of the world. Let us follow our writing and our being inward to that quiet place within ourselves and let us be centered there. Lynn Nelson I’m putting up a couple of orange Notebook Junkie magnets that I’ve designed in my Etsy Shop […]
Defining Inspiration – it’s everywhere
How do you define it, that elusive wonderful thing we all need so desperately: Inspiration. I’m trying to define it and I think it’s difficult, maybe impossible. Defining inspiration, when it can be so many different things… It’s everywhere. It’s everything. And all encompassing. What about you, do you have a good definition for inspiration? […]
How to Microwave Your Cat
Want to learn how to Microwave Your Cat? If you haven’t tried a Wheat Heat Therapy Pillow yet I think you should. I can really recommend you to make or buy your own wheat pillow. It’s great! A Wheat Heat Therapy Pillow is microwavable (put it in there for about 2 minutes). The wheat has […]
There were no rainbows today, so I created my own
Big girl toys with candy – bought at a cruise this month. Taking a photo of one hand with the other hand is difficult. I love this one though. So far 2009 is not my art journaling year but today I’ve made a page from start to finish, and that’s unusual these days.
Diving into Photo Diptychs
Sophie a.k.a. Miss KoolAid, asked if I’d be interested in doing a photo project with daily diptychs (two images that work together) together with her. This is our first diptych: Team Diptych is all about Daily Photography I said yes to this project because; 1) I’ve been wanting to take more everyday photos but I […]
Finally I knit a pair of Fingerless Mittens
No one can possibly know what is about to happen: it is happening, each time, for the first time, for the only time. James Arthur Baldwin We interrupt the 2008 Craft Report stream with a pair of mittens. Next is part III which I think will be the last part in the series, and it […]
Craft Accomplishments Report (part II)
We shall not cease from exploration and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started… and know the place for the first time. T.S. Eliot Try something for the first time I’m always interested in trying something new for the first time, especially when it has to do with art […]
