Coloring Pages - 2 Free Downloads

Need some stress relief or something to get out of a rut? Try coloring. It's all the rage right now. I've been coloring since I can remember. It is very soothing and might be exactly what you need after a hectic day. Or give to your little ones so that you can enjoy an early evening glass of wino or cup of tea while they enjoy themselves.

In order to print each picture just click on each and print individually. Enjoy!

If you like these I will be giving out FREE prints to kids at the Acworth ArtFest this weekend. No purchase necessary. I will be in Booth 163, right by the KidZone.

Artist Profile - Andy Goldsworthy

Are you an avid hiker, naturalist or just like to sit out on in the fresh air? Or do you simply enjoy beautiful sights? Of course, beauty can be found just about anywhere. Because I am lucky to live in a wooded community I am treated to a daily concert of sights and sounds and no day is the same. The Artist Andy Goldsworthy Source: Kidzworld.com As someone who has always enjoyed nature and art I was thrilled to discover the art of Andy Goldsworthy. Although I've known his work since the mid-nineties he never ceases to enchant me. If you don't know who he is, prepare to be amazed.

Welcome to Crafty In Cobb!

It’s time to get your craft on. And by craft I don’t mean making pinecone wreathes. I mean thinking in a crafty way about your day. We all juggle a million things – jobs (even if it’s our partner’s job), housework, kids, pets, friends, hobbies and all kinds of little things that make life seem like it’s flying by. Well, it is…. Until it isn’t. Things don’t have to go by so quickly. It’s all a matter of perspective. I say slow down. Yes, slow down. Let some things pass you by.

Do the laundry tomorrow. Make PB&J sandwiches tonight and give yourself time to go for a walk. Say “no” when you need to and “yes” when you want to. Don’t go to bed thinking about work or what you didn’t do. Enjoy the life you have and live in those moments. Stop thinking about tomorrow all the time. This blog is...

Margaret Atwood's "Variations on the Word Sleep"

Margaret Atwood is quite famous these days as the author of The Handmaid's Tale . If you haven't read it, well, it's an enticing read to say the least. However, I personally am a bigger fan of Atwood's poetry. Variations on the Word Sleep is one of my favorites. I won't tell you what I think it means. Atwood's poetry can be fairly open to interpretation. Enjoy! I would like to watch you sleeping, which may not happen. I would like to watch you, sleeping. I would like to sleep with you, to enter your sleep as its smooth dark wave slides over my head and walk with you through that lucent wavering forest of bluegreen leaves with its watery sun & three moons towards the cave where you must descend, towards your worst fear I would like to give you the silver branch, the small white flower, the one word that will protect you from the grief at the center of your dream, from the grief at the center I would like to follow you up the long...
