Hope you had a beautiful long weekend. With the extra day off, I managed to work on a few unfinished projects and feel good about how they are progressing. I will share them with you as I complete them. Although it’s hard, I am refraining from starting anything new unitil the unfinsihed projects are completed. [...]
The last couple of weeks I have been experimenting with art stamps. I have amassed a small collection over the years. Recently, I discovered these clear layered stamps in Michaels. They allow you to make layered multi-color designs very easily. I couldn’t resist. And so the collection continues to grow. Beginning with a DIY staple, [...]
It’s a another dreary day. When will this rain ever end? After dropping off No. 2 Son, I decided to head over to my favorite bakery, Buttercooky, to treat myself to a coffee latte and a brioche. As I was waiting for my order, I heard someone say “Joselyn”. My neck whipped around so fast [...]
London’s Portobello Road is an awesome place to visit. It runs approximately 2 miles from end to end and is comprised mainly of quaint vintage and antique stores and vendors.

The Renegade Craft Fair is this weekend at McClarren Park in Brooklyn. . I went last year and enjoy all the handmade eye candy. I can’t wait to go and hope the weather cooperates. There is rain in the forecast. If you live in the area, it’s worth a visit.

Although nothing to do with DIY or anything creative, I thought today’s post might come in handy at some point in your everyday lives. You see, [...]
Yes that would be me jumping Double Dutch with some of my mom friends. During this mom’s only gathering at my house, we jumped rope, played games, stuffed our faces and forgot about our everyday life responsibilities for a few hours. What is the connection between this picture memory and the song “My Best Days [...]
The other day I was taking my son to school and I was taken back by nature’s beauty. As I was leaving his school, I happened to look down and saw these pearlescent petals that had blown to the ground from a nearby tree. They were glistening in the sunlight. A block from my home, [...]
