Strolls through my hood get me out of my studio, they help me get unstuck and often I get inspired by what I see and get new ideas to create something. It is part of my philosophy about Artful Adventures in Mixed Media – which is the subject of my book. Here are some photos that I gathered in the last couple weeks.
Our first tree in the new house – I am sad to see it go soon.
And I had to buy this stick of butter ornament- it made me laugh !
I know technically this is not yet a stroll through the hood but hey.. it is really cold outside. I love decorating in wintertime – I always wanted a garland down a stair case. Well – while I love how it looks like I learned my lesson – dries out super quick…and makes a real mess and attracts cats ;)
I love the different facades and materials of those buildings and while the balcony needs some love I find this stunning.
I walked by this house number on an art deco apartment complex a lot of time but just now realized the tiles – I love this!
And … meet Mingus- the newest addition to our family. He is adorable …and a handful!
He makes us laugh
and he and Pretzel became friends very quick. They both sleep on me at night …it is kind of nice and really uncomfortable hahahaha.
Yours truly played two songs at a Holiday party with her music school …very fun -well for us not the listeners hahahaha.
December is the month of holiday parties and this food spread at a friend’s house made me swoon – the colors, the decor- oh my. I think she should do this for my parties :)
Kind of crazy cool and opulent the lamps around our main post office in JC. I hope you enjoyed this semi-stroll through my hood and glimpse into my home this month. Until next month – well if weather permits ;)

Beautiful photos! I meant to send, when I commented on yesterday’s (?) post,
my condolensces for your loss of sweet Niles. It is so difficult to say goodbye to these furry members of our families. So very difficult. Minges and Pretzel will help to soothe your soul. Cheers to 2020!
