Sock Bunnitis
I‘m not sure why but when I attempt to create a simple project my creative spirit almost always takes me on an adventurous ride! Here’s my version of a “simple” bunny constructed from a pair of socks, some paint, polyester fiberfil and a whole lot of glue! If you’d like to watch how I constructed…

Yarnley
I love to design and I live to create. Here’s a whimsical snowman created from a clearance pine wreath, a large skein of yarn, a bit of brown felt and some rocks. Enjoy! For instructions on how to create Yarnley check out Bevitized Etc. on Facebook.

Heart “Strings”
When my first marriage ended I took a leap of faith. Translated that means I didn’t sign an apartment lease but rather asked if my mother would rent me my old bedroom until I decided what my plan of real action would be. It wasn’t ideal as she treated me as if I was 16…

Pushed Pins
A few weeks ago I met a young woman. She was very tall and thin. I would guess her to be around 22 years old and she had two of the saddest eyes I have ever seen. Over the course of the very short amount of time I worked with her I made several attempts…

“Doris” Day
I had the pleasure of meeting THEE most unusual character today. She approached the framing counter and because I am in the process of training a new framer (and might I add I dearly love this framer already!) we were both there to assist this snazzy looking lady. She was about 5’6″, short white hair,…

A Good Place To Finally Be!
For as long as I can remember I was convinced I was never going to measure up to others. What’s unfortunate is that I based every ounce of my personal assessment on what people saw on the outside. I was fatter than all the other kids in my class which made most physical activities more…

Where’s My Ribbon?
If you’re ever curious about how some (not all) pampered, protected kids that are given everything, made to believe the entire universe revolves around them and receive trophies for simply agreeing to participate turn out, start a business, interview and hire them and then watch your business fail in 30 days or less. Of course…

Colorfully Authentic
I was in need of a piece of black calico fabric for a project I am working on so I stopped at the fabric store where I used to work. As I was making my way towards the door I could hear someone behind me pushing a shopping cart. I decided to turn around to…

A Sea Turtle Kind Of Day
Everyday there is something to learn, something to be thankful for, something to let go of and something to be wrong about. Today I took four framing orders that I didn’t think would happen. The reason I didn’t think they would happen is because the art being framed would have easily fit into frames off…
