As I move along with Kim Klassen teaching www.BeyondLayers.net I am posting my homework to keep myself honest. Here is my very rudimentary attempt at creating a storyboard of several images. I didn’t get fancy, nor did I do any “textures” over the whole thing. I grabbed some past images of digitizing and embroidery that […]
Wreath Holder Loves Necklaces
After getting this rustic wreath holder I was hesitant to tuck it away with the rest of the holiday decor. Now I don’t have to! It is just right holding my necklaces. The wreath will have to find a new place to live next year!
Floor Trim Turned Into Spool Holder!
Floor trim, also known as a “reducer” from one flooring to another… We trimmed to a good size for the wall and tapped it in. The nice rounded “bottom” allows the round thread spools to nestle right in. Nope, not color coded. Well, it started out that way, but…
Pull Muffler for Noisy Knockers
Ummm, my title might not be quite the meaning I was thinking of…. BUT, if you happen to have a boy’s room that is loosely centered around a western theme, then my little noise reduction tip might be just the ticket. My “boy” is now 25 and lives on his own. It is much quieter […]
Double Duty Storage
As I go around the house, I’m revisiting any little projects that might help others. A little lightbulb goes off in my head and I work toward the fix as I can. This is a sewing project that covers the file cabinet that acts as a side table in our guest room. I have since […]
Beyond Layers "NEST" Photo
Oooh, I’m beginning to have some fun with Kim Klassen’s Photo textures. Baby steps. Her tuts are so clear and gentle. I took this shot of some of my fave little feathers that are in a large (well, if you want to call less than 2 inches tall large.) glass bead that doubles as a […]

QuirkyKim’s Quips: Six Word Self Description
Six Word Self Description
Freckled short quirky creative old soul Kim Klassen from www.kimklassen.com asked us, as a challenge in her BEYOND LAYERS group, to write a six-word description of ourselves. The above is the first that popped into my mind. So… Do you know me now? What are YOUR six words?
Nod to My Dad
My dad just passed away on December 20th. Alzheimer’s grabbed him and finally took him away. I just received a box with some of his things. The little Bible is dated 1886, and has several of his ancestor signatures inside, faded, like this photo. Faded doesn’t make a memory any less real… I wish I […]
White Milk Glass. Time to Let Go
All of last year was spent in a creative frenzy, in prep for my sweet daughter’s wedding. She and I searched all over, in dusty vintage shops and virtual shops online to find a BUNCH of assorted white milk glass, along with some Hobnail milk glass. We had a vision of whimsical, fresh little groupings […]
