We are already on the last day it is possible to be born under the zodiac sign of Cancer so I thought I should post this lotus nail art I painted last year. Oh my, how time flies and I just haven’t been painting my nails much or writing blog Read More
I have not felt like painting nail art this past while. So I finally decided to dig back into my files and find something I haven’t posted yet. This spring nail art is simplicity itself because I painted it right when I was trying to keep going with my hobby Read More
I’ve really been hitting the whole Valentine’s Day thing much harder this year than I usually do, but sometimes it’s fun to just go all in. Except in colors. I just looked back at this month’s progress and I haven’t exactly been indulging in soft and sweet love-y pastels. Well, Read More
It is the age old battle between protecting your good sewing scissors from the depredations of the non-sewing heathens who will dull them gouging open cardboard boxes and the excuse of I can’t find any scissors.

The title of the post is the name of the prompt I painted for. So I’m not being very imaginative there, but I do think I’m improving on the think out of the box thing. Because if I’d painted this a few years ago it would have been some trees Read More
