Experiments in watercolor and pastel!
It's 9:15pm and All is Well - March 13, 2020
Tonight, instead of working on art, I placed orders for the ebooks so our library borrowers will have things to read when they are stuck at home. We're not on lockdown here in Kern County, but things have progressed kinda fast since this morning's announcement from the County -"business as usual except for big gatherings" to this afternoon's "hey, we need to cancel all library programs starting tomorrow" to emails and texts from my boss tonight to do some other preparations.
The sunset was beautiful. My lawn is green for the first time since I moved in here 10 years ago. My bulbs are coming up! There's rain forecast for the next several days and hopefully that will do something about the drought that's been developing (again!). One of the days is forecast as "heavy storms", something I've never seen for Bakersfield.
We have enough food. We are healthy. We have a support system. We have peace.
Nothing bad lasts forever. There's always a silver lining.
And my Pandora cat is adorable.

How to Make Folded Books - by Heather Hajek Eddy
Hello friends - years ago I created a tutorial on how to make your own folded books and sold it in my (now defunct) Etsy shop. It was a blessing in my family's and my life for several years as it kept us afloat financially during some pretty lean years. At the end of 2016, I stopped selling on Etsy for several reasons, but mostly because selling things gave me HUGE anxiety. So, I closed up that part of my life & thought everyone was finding other cool ways to fold books online & wouldn't care about my little booklet. I have been pleasantly surprised to find many people are still interested and emails pop up in my box every so often asking if I'll ever sell it again. (Apparently, once you're on Etsy, you are FOREVER on Etsy and people can find you forever, too.) In the spirit of paying it forward to the world, I'm making the tutorial FREELY available here on my blog . Scroll below to see the tutorial in its entirety, all for free. Eventually I'l
How to Fold Wedding Hearts
This is one of my most popular tutorials because it has a huge payoff for such a little bit of work (well...). I think it's quite a showstopper! This was a free pattern I put on the blog a million years ago, but it's nice to have it here with the other pattern/tutorial.
