April 19th, 2018 or as my friend David said “The 109th day of January.” Woke up to a literal winter wonderland. The studio has never looked prettier 😍 I haven’t ever seen snow look so beautiful. I’m told it’s a mixture of snow, rain, and sleet. I really don’t mind the extended winter. I keep reminding everyone that every day under 50 degrees is another day without biting mosquitos. #puremichigan #weather #snow #wonderland #winter #spring #onandon #wow #mi #midwest #neverending #lol #nature #beauty #tinygamistudio

This little cup I found on Etsy is (to me) the epitome of the concept of wabi sabi. It is vintage, handmade, imperfect, and rough but in my eyes it couldn’t be more beautiful. I love its organic earthiness. So raw, as if it was plucked from nature. One of the little things that brings me joy each time it catches my eye in the studio 😍 #vintage #used #damaged #chipped #pottery #ceramics #special #cup #sculpted #crab #kani #wabisabi #hidden #treasure #details #incenseholder

Right now I have to drive at least 45 minutes (each way) to find some origami paper to purchase and over 2 hours (each way) to find a really great selection. And that’s not just me, it’s anyone who lives near Greenville. Soooooo I decided to start selling authentic origami paper in my booth at Home2Home! This shipment just arrived. I’ll be pricing it and figuring out how to display it and will have it available in downtown Greenville by the end of the week 😊 #origami #paper #local #supply #art #craft #downtown #greenville #mi #retail #shopping #selection #prints #metallics #rainbow #wheretogo @home_2_home_shop

So my diy splint and cold compresses seem to be helping. Finger is finally feeling better. Hopefully it’ll be all better in a week? Btw I fell off the back deck the other day. Swan dive into the frozen lawn. Very lucky I didn’t break both wrists 😬 Knee has a big bruise. Fred has officially declared me a disaster 😂 Seriously though, this is what stress does to me. I really need to decompress and focus #ow #clutz #distracted #finger #sprain #splint #diy #upcycle #tproll #itworks #geterdone #healing #takeiteasy #geez #keepingitreal

“Do you worry about getting arthritis?” and “Don’t your fingers hurt?” are two of my most FAQ’s. Until now I’ve always said “no” to both. That wonky, swollen, painful finger has improved but wasn’t normal again. Last night it flared up. Now I’m like a Michigan road in winter (and this year’s spring 😛) salt (epsom soaks) followed by ice. Still not worried about arthritis (I had X-rays) but the blue ice block may become a normal part of my routine once my finger is better to keep it better 😊 Oh, and just need a few hundred more butterflies to hit the 1000 I need for this year’s ArtPrize...Then 1000 cranes and 1000 koi to fold #origami #folding #woes #health #overuse #strain #injury #paper #butterflies #japanese #art #craft

This plant is a pregnant onion. My Auntie gave me a baby years ago and I barely kept it alive for decades. I gave its sorry, stunted self back to her in 2014 when I moved to the Midwest. She revived it to the point new babies were bursting from it so she gave me two babies a year ago. Like me, it’s thriving here in MI 😊 Not only are they huge, some of the leaves are 3’ long, they’re making babies, and this one is about to bloom. I think it’s a sign it’s going to be a good year ❤️ #metaphor #plant #greenthumb #happy #blooming #thriving #nature #michigan #pregnant #onion #houseplant

Rain or shine... Or snow, hail, sleet, etc 😬 I’ll be at Home2Home for one more hour (until 1:30) folding and giving away Tinygamis! #demo #folding #origami #retail #hi #shop #consignment #art #craft #greenville #mi

You could hear a pin drop... Sometimes special things are easy to over look #mini #tiny origami #folded #paper #turtle #waterlily #lilypad #pin #vignette #serenity #kawaii #cute #handmade #michigan #tinygami
