30 Days of Creativity: Days 28, 29 and 30
This has been a good exercise, this 30 Days of Creativity project, for a lot of reasons. Not that I’d necessarily consider it a success, mind you. I struggled a bit too much, sort of dropped the ball more than once. It made me think a lot more about creativity in my days, or lack […]
30 Days of Creativity: Day 20
Not a bad place to have a couple of drinks with family and watch the sunset from the patio. A good Monday.
30 Days of Creativity: Day 16
Making some small changes around the blog, trying to prep for some bigger design clean up. It’s about time. In the meantime, these caught my eye. I am so, so incredibly tired of the rain and semi-darkness at this point. Flowers help.
30 Days of Creativity: Day 14
I never took woodshop – wasn’t offered at my middle school, didn’t seem like straight track to college/one more honors course in high school. My parents’ tools pretty much fit in a toolbox, with a saw hanging on the wall for cutting down a Christmas tree. We are not handy. I know that some of […]
30 Days of Creativity: Day 9
So, as I mentioned earlier, my nose was deep in New York magazine today. And when I say nose, I mean it. This morning, pre-magazine lunch break, I was thinking about my Day 9 post and about the various mediums at my disposal. Still photos. Video, if I get less self-conscious about it. The written […]
30 Days of Creativity: Day 8
Kinda missed my deadline on this one. Spent most of the evening facilitating others’ creativity (and at times my own) via a board meeting at the arts education center I work with – fueling the creativity machine in one way or another! I was thinking yesterday about the little ways we insert creativity into our […]
30 Days of Creativity: Day 7
The other day at A Home in the Making, Jenn revealed the anglepoise-style lamp she repainted orange, saying how she was scared it would be too bright, too orange. But it turned out great. And reading it, I thought, “Too orange? Is there such a thing in a classic lamp?” and then thought, “Well, who […]
30 Days of Creativity: Day 6
Remember that squirrel from yesterday? Well, he’s making himself known. This is what I woke up to this morning: Bastard. This means war. But since it was raining when I got home from work, war will have to wait a day. In the meantime, purple nails are going to be the most creative painting of […]
30 Days of Creativity: Day 5
An actual creative day! Planting flowers. Wandering the Home Resource store for furniture ideas. Discovering new music. And an afternoon of cooking, with lunch packed for tomorrow and company for dinner in the backyard. Pretty impressive since I spent about two hours being stalked by this same goddamned squirrel. I am held hostage in the […]
30 Days of Creativity: Day 4
Here’s looking on the bright side: after a week of rain, the pansies on the front steps have bounced back from the mowing by the deer. Take that, stupid deer.
I like writing, photography, reading, music, design, typography, paper products, days in the seventies and sparkly snow, Spanish wine and cans of PBR. I spent a year in Córdoba, Spain, working as a
