For my 11th Fun A Day project, I knitted around some rocks and then took them to the city as a yarnbombing installation. It's pretty easy to knit cozies for rocks or similar objects. I liked how bright it looked next to the tree on the side of Mount Royal Avenue. ...
#59 on my 100 Ways To Be Creative list is to throw an unbirthday party for someone. I decided to throw an unbirthday party for my entire class at work. In the same class that I facilitated a handwriting analysis, I also hung up a Happy Birthday banner and photo op. As...
Last weekend was the opening for the Fun A Day art show, and I had a really great time. A half hour after it started there were already more people than I was expecting. It was a great turn out and I got to meet a lot of interesting people. For my exhibit, I showed a...
For my 10th Fun A Day project I recreated an installation I saw online of some huge red ruby slippers. The link doesn't click through, but you can see the original picture here. All I did was get some shoes from the thrift store, painted them red with glitter, and...
