Blogtober, whose brilliant idea was this?

by Stacey | October 1, 2024 | everyday life, Uncategorized | 0 Comments

Move over big guy, mommy need her rest. Oh right it was mine. Because I wanted to get back to blogging and October seemed like a great time to start because I could easily smash a couple of words together in a really cute way to make this endeavor feel like an event....

My Art Journal and The Art It Helped Me Make

by Stacey | August 1, 2022 | art journal | 6 Comments

Art Journal can mean so many different things. It can be a scrapbook of memories, it can be a sketchbook of ideas. It can be a place to try new techniques or styles worked privately with no judgement. It can be a diary of feelings and thoughts mingles with drawings or...

What I am working on

Fiberista, I know you know what I mean. It doesn't matter what kind of calm or chaos is happening in your world, the one constant will always be making art. I would say specifically fiber art, but I have a long-held commitment to my art journal as well that tends to...

Falling off my habit wagon

by Stacey | May 24, 2022 | behind the scenes, everyday life | 0 Comments

I am not gonna lie...I have fallen down on the tiny habits thing. I am almost 6 months in, halfway. I knew this would probably happen. I even gave myself a little grace period to skip adding new habits for 8 weeks(broken up as needed) I just know myself. I will let...

Studio Awesome Day 10: Letting Go Of Precious Stash

31 Day Studio Awesome Challenge, How to think like an artist | 0 Comments

So I am going to dip just the tiniest baby toe into today's task. It is a big one, and like many other knitters it is a bit of a trigger subject for me. I am going to begin to consider thinking about thinning the stash... I can hear the collective gasps of horrors...

So, today I did a little straightening after the studio disaster of the week. Reclaiming my surfaces, putting together some projects to focus on for next week. Nothing too intense. I also took the day to catch up on stuff like laundry and preparing food some make...

Studio Awesome Day 7:

31 Day Studio Awesome Challenge, The Business of being an artist | 1 Comment

So today has been busy with a deadline and I am doing what people do in their studios...make a mess. I am okay with the mess as a work in progress. The place where I fall down is when it all stays once the project is done...or gets pushed to the side. Now for me the...

Studio Awesome Day 6: Herding my art stuff gone astray

31 Day Studio Awesome Challenge, The Business of being an artist | 2 Comments

Let me just say it took a ridiculous amount of time for me to round up JUST MY KNITTING NEEDLES. And I have not tackled the needles on the WIPs yet. I'll be honest, I am kind of afraid to inventory the WIPs because I know there are quite a few more than a few a...

Studio Awesome Day 5: Wrangling the Knitting and Crochet Tools

31 Day Studio Awesome Challenge, everyday life, How to think like an artist | 1 Comment

I have an obscene number of knitting needles. Most are circs, but I do have a fair number of DPNs and even straight needles. I rarely use my straight needles anymore, but I do like to break them our every now and then for dish cloths or for teaching. And as for DPNs,...
