Knoxville Museum of Art

I took my stepdaughter to the closest art museum. It’s free entry, you just have to sign up ahead of time on Eventbrite due to COVID. They were very cautious and careful. Masks are required. There are hand sanitizer stations everywhere. A guy followed us down the stairs, disinfecting the railing after us… Schools wereContinue reading “Knoxville Museum of Art”

IlluminaTEA

Commence the tea puns! Plus, there’s actually a company named Illuminatea apparently. Kind of funny. I tried to avoid anything similar to designs other people have done before. My SO was adament that I use a teacup for this picture. I had a mug at first and he was like, “MUGS ARE FOR COFFEE.” SoContinue reading “IlluminaTEA”

Tea-Rex Doodle

I’m … drawing again? I guess. I started making some drawing prompts for myself. (I looked at pins and thought to myself, what would I make if I could do my own version of those?) I wanted a ton of tea-themed ones because I always see coffee pins. And most of the “Tea-Rex” drawings IContinue reading “Tea-Rex Doodle”

Hand Crocheting

I had a few balls of the same yarn and wanted to try something new. The super thick yarns are so expensive for a ball. Like $20 a ball. Using the “thick” yarn and quadrupling it, I was able to do some interesting hand crocheting stuff. It’s really relaxing doing it with your fingers, pullingContinue reading “Hand Crocheting”

Doodle Day

Nothing that I can really say today. Just doodled a picture to get by for the post.

Inktober 52 Week 2: DECAY

Was a bit torn when I first started thinking about this one. I have the Tangled Series stuck in my head, but I decided against anything specifically Disney-related for the Inktober 52 stuff. Wither and decayEnd this destinyBreak these earthly chainsAnd set the spirit freeTake what has been hurt (ah, ah, ah, ah)Grant them noContinue reading “Inktober 52 Week 2: DECAY”

Keto? Chaffles to the Rescue

My family, except myself and my stepdaughter, are eating keto. I’m doing caloric restrictions via fasting. I’m almost back to my pre-COVID weight~! One of the things we’ve been working on is finding keto-friendly foods to replace some of the things everyone is craving. Keto food is pretty decent for me as well, because IContinue reading “Keto? Chaffles to the Rescue”

Got the Blues

Bernat blanket yarn: ocean shades I decided to tackle my first large project. I have started a blanket! Not a huge one. Just large enough to cover someone. Basic single stitch. Because weird stitches makes me forget what I was doing. I have a bag project I half finished because of that. I love howContinue reading “Got the Blues”

You Spin Me Round Right Round

Excuse the blur. It was still moving a bit. My stepdaughter got a subscription for a Christmas present. One of those STEM things? Last month’s project was this paint spinner. This month’s hasn’t arrived yet, but it’s like a bubble lamp/lava lamp type thing. SO today was all about assembling this thing. You use theContinue reading “You Spin Me Round Right Round”

Blue Period – Art Anime

I binge watched all 12 episodes of Blue Period in one night. You can find it on Netflix right now and I actually plan to let my stepdaughter watch it. Since she’s been interested in art. She’s gone to art camp in the past. And sadly, they don’t seem to touch on art as muchContinue reading “Blue Period – Art Anime”
