Color Block Mountain Painting

In this Craft video I tie my mountain lodge office together with a color block mountain painting inspired by the Blue Ridge Mountains in my home state, Virginia.



I only had to buy one can of paint and a canvas, making this not only an easy project, but a really cheap one as well. Be sure to read my accompanying blog post to see the other sweet color block ideas out there.

Tipico Market Totes

Look at these vibrant and beautiful market baskets from tipico. They just scream Summer to me and make me feel like I am sitting on a beach in Mexico sipping a pina colada. Why am I NOT doing that?





Ugh. My problem is I want them all!!



Buy them HERE.

Rest in peace, Elizabeth Taylor.

This is your space...

I LOVE this 'This is your space...' print by The Resesenner Holt Shop. There are some really clean, crisp and modern prints like this in the shop to choose from.

Blacksmith Video

Here is the new Craft video where my friend Alex Himmelbaum teaches me how to blacksmith. As a complete novice, I was so excited to see how this new technique is done.



The forge (the fire) is so super-hot that when I went to take a piece of metal out of it, while wearing gloves, it began to melt the tag on my gloves! A seriously dangerous technique such as blacksmithing requires having an expert like Alex on hand. Just sayin'. Ejoy the video, and feel free to go over and comment on it on the Craft page or on YouTube.
