Creating and Appreciating: hygge

I love coming across new words. For some reason hygge crossed my path on the internet. Once I read what it meant, I understood why I came to learn of this word. It is a Danish word. It is when one recognizes a special feeling or moment that is ordinary or extraordinary but is cozy and charming.
     So lately  I have just been enjoying the comforts of my toasty bed, the feeling of fuzzy socks and just being alone in my house with my cats -- all hygge moments.

Living: What I wear when it's Freezing

I have been wanting to do this video for a long time and I finally just went ahead and did it. I hope it contains some useful information.

Creating: brush lettering

I  have been practicing brush script and really enjoying it.  I started taking a class by Jen Schow. I really enjoy the style of Amy Tan though and I couldn't find her brush script class online so  I started learning the formal basics from Jen. I analyzed  Amy's  style  to produce something similar to her kid friendly looking script.

Creating: One Little word.

Ali Edwards, a scrapbooker, artist, creator that I have admired for years, has a concept she trademarked called  "One Little Word." It is the concept that you pick one word to help you focus your efforts for the year.  My word is "create", but  I have extended it to be create, share, repeat.  I plan on blogging more.  I know  every year I say that.  Well I am saying it again.  I plan on sharing more of my stuff.  Sometimes  I just sit on most of it.  Thank you for reading  my blogs  and I hope  you can leave comments and share your life with me as well.

I started to learn how to do brush script.  So as my first share I am posting the result of my beginning practice lettering.  Happy New Year 2018 everyone.
