Destination - Stade, Germany! Challenge of Travel reveal

August 31, 2012 - 4:41pm - jenny

Once again Erin Prais-Hintz of Tesori Trovati has created a cohesive yet diverse and individual challenge. The brief: Select a region, then a country. Create an accessory or your choice that evokes that nation. Sounds simple. Yet the possibilities are endless.

Start packing your bags... Challenge of Travel preview

August 30, 2012 - 9:55am - jenny

This Saturday is Erin's Challenge of Travel blog hop reveal. Its a creative challenge to create a themed piece - in this case the country of your choice. Germany is mine. Not exotic, not a place that is known for a different design aesthetic - like Japan or Aboriginal Austaralia. German is a large part of my heritage (along with Irish, Welsh and Scottish. Full Celt!) yet I have never been there.

Time Flew. Had fun.

April 19, 2012 - 7:37pm - jenny

Oh heavens a week ago today I was home from Austin. Home late Wednesday night actually. Since i got home - its been a frenzy. Spoutwood May Day Faerie Festival is right around the corner. I need new collage/mixed media work for a local show, to hang on April 30th. The tax man was insisting we file his papers on time. Class to teach, chores...So I endeavor to catch up, and present a slide show of scenes and cuteness from Austin, Easter, and my lil nephew...

Above the clouds...

New York adventure - part 2

December 15, 2011 - 10:02am - jenny

Sorry I didnt bring you part 2 of the trio yesterday. I got a little waylaid wrapping holiday gifts!

So to rejoin or intrepid travelers...after reveling in the Frouds' mastery and magic - we headed uptown. Now we love New York, and had no desire to see it crawl past from the confines of a cab. So GPS ap in hand, we walked: ( I couldn't get the map ebbedded. Will consult with computer guru/husband later. Suffice to say - we walked from Madison Square Garden in Midtown - to Soho and back! Sure we were tired, but it was an amazing day...)
