In regards to Creation...

Yeah, Creation Explosion is still going:

from the blog of the loverly elYse:

Today was a day bursting with… lots of things!

I had recently come up with some ideas for some t-shirt designs, so decided that my creativity would involve following through on that project.

But first… I had to do laundry.

While doing laundry, I picked up locks and lights and a tire pump for my bikes (so my roommate and I can ride them!). Thus adding an explosion of productivity to my explosion of creativity!

Then I went to Goodwill…

…where I got a great deal on some shirts for printing on!

Then… as if this day wasn’t cool enough… the productivity and beginning of a creative explosion was followed up with an inspiration explosion at the Freedom Fest in Oceanside, where the Feeding the Soul Foundation put on a show featuring Bushwalla and Luc & The Lovingtons.

So much creativity and inspiration in one day. I can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings.

Creation Explosion was a big hit all over. I am so blessed to have such great people in my life that not only come up with these brilliant ideas (Grace- my stupendous, amazing, wonderful, crazy, inspiring, loving, caring, beautiful, fantabulous, scrumtrulescent sister) but also friends, who at the mere mention of the word, "creation" are on the move and ready to go.

i.feel.happy.

I don't have a Clue about Life, I'm Sorry.

as a wind-down to creation explosion today, I spent the night at a friends playing bored games.

sometimes it's not about the tangible things you create.

tonight i created memories, good times, laughter and fun.

we played Sorry(i lost), Clue(i won, twice!), and Life (I won BIG)


Meanwhile, one of my most favorite people ever, Elise, created art in her cute new apartment in San Diego.

so i think i had a creativity trickle today rather than an explosion...it took me hours to paint this little wacky whim! he does make me laugh though...because he forgot the mustard...again! oh dear. also, i included a photo of a "natural smiley face" jeremy left for me one morning before he went to work.

Elise is Amazingly quirky, Ridiculously Generous, Magically Patient, and just all around good times. She is also supremely talented in many departments.

Every so often i open the mailbox and there is a tasty treat, or little nugget of love in the form of music, in a package created by hand, and thought through to the last detail.

She is truly an inspiration to me, I love her dearly, and was so glad to have her be a part of Creation Explosion.

*update*
I got a late night pix message from Jeremy hoping to be a part of the explosion.

Dreams really do come true.

"Sunset Mirror Tire ExplowzSHUN"

see it, be it. "life goes 'round like a tire on the ground"

Stay tuned to see what Elyse (notice the 'y' not 'i') has exploded her creativity into this weekend.

Ground Control to Major Tom(s)

Creation Explosion is well under way.

Here's what I'm working on


I used my old purse to update my ripped up Tom's

This project was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. Somehow my toe was able to attack the durability of the shoe better than my needle. Add that to the awkward angles I had to try and sew at, and well- Ouch! Right now I only have one shoe done. My poor little fingers are taking a beating. But I am pretty excited for the final outcome, and it will be worth the pain and suffering.

well, shit. Isn't that just life.


Given my terrible attention span, I now plan on being creative in other ways. give my fingers a rest, and get back to video editing.

I'm going to Explode!

Creation Explosion has erupted in the farmhouse... and ALL across the country.

My wonderful sister Grace has dubbed this weekend "Creation Explosion". We are getting crafty up in here. And so should YOU!

Tapping into our creativity and productivity is what it's all about right now. We even have guest bloggers from all across the country joining in and getting creative and crazy with us! Mary in Nashville, Elyse in San Diego, Kelly in Baltimore, Sarah in Gettysburg, Jonah in LA- and YOU! you don't need a blog to participate. Just a heart for creation.

It's a beautiful thing, really.

As for me- I'm just getting ready to work on a few things.

first step was Coffee (and always is)




For the past 6 months my job has been video editing/production for a camp. It's always been something I was interested in pursuing, and for now it's my job. I've been feeling a little sluggish at it lately, because I am not as invested in the content as I would like to be. And (until now) have not had an opportunity to work on something of my own. Well that all changed last night, when i began editing my footage from a great beach weekend with awesome friends.



I bought this purse a few weeks ago at target- with the sole purpose of editing it's image. I got big plans for this.




My first pair of Toms. Got them a half size too small. My large toes quickly punched a hole in the front.



With the help of my old purse (which i ripped a hole in also...theme? )


I will create a very unique pair of Toms.



That's what is happening here today. Wanna join? hit me up. Everyone is welcome. Every form of creativity is encouraged.
