Online Renewal!
I've recently come across this wonderful magazine while poking around on the web! Its called Joie! That is exactly what it is...Joy! I've desperately been needing a way to unwind and embrace the creative side of my life..which has been on the back burner for a few months. I am elated to find this online magazine.
In addition to embracing my creative side I have been looking to embrace being a woman. This magazine helps me accomplish both of those goals! Filled with great diy advice, cooking tips, and home decor tips. I love it! Check it out! You will love it too!

New Drawing
I've been working on this drawing for quite some time...a month or so. I began by making the paper using scraps from my office. Next I cut the pieces into the shape of a flower. Then I sewed the pieces together using thread. The image is made using a combination of pencil, pen and watercolor...so far...more mediums may come.
I'm not sure if this is a keeper just yet.

A New Baby!
My sister-in-law is pregnant with her second baby! For her first I went crazy and crocheted and knitted almost an entire wardrobe. Back then I was in between college and a new job. This time I am working full time and writing my graduate thesis. So, a baby blanket is all I might be making...I began it a few days ago and it is coming along beautifully!
