Falling Forward: A HARD LESSON

Falling Forward: A HARD LESSON

Good morning, readers! I hope everyone had a fun and exciting weekend! We got a lot of work outside done including starting our chicken coop build! More to come on that though. It’s Monday and we’re falling back into the groove of things again! I also just let the cat out of the bag with this morning’s Instagram post. Check it out if you haven’t seen it already! This post shared my “new” project…

Creating a Space Takes Time

Creating a Space Takes Time

We’re back on another Monday morning, friends. I hope you all had a fantastic past few days. I enjoy clocking out so much on the weekends, but I’m always very excited for Monday to arrive. Isn’t that amazing? Never once have I worked a job where I have been happy and excited to start the work week! The joy of creating a life you love is blissful. ♥

The past few days, along with the few to…

Manifesting Your Dreams

I missed another Monday post yesterday, but for some reason I don’t feel like it started my week off rough at all. Normally, when I’m not able to give you all the weekly update on Monday, I don’t feel as productive and feel as if I’m out of touch with things. This time, however, I have good reason for forgetting – I swear! I spent the ENTIRE day painting a from sun up to sun down and completely…

Appreciating Today

We’re officially in the month of July, but all I can seem to think about right now is autumn and the luxuries that come with it. I’m already anticipating the next season: fall, the crisp weather, and all of the plans I have for my art and the growth of my business. Don’t get me wrong, I love the summer time, but it is often so busy and flies by before we’re even able to take a second glance.…

October Update: Current Projects and Showings

A Quick Update

Good morning, friends! It’s a chilly morning here in Minnesota and I am so thrilled to be wrapped up in a cozy blanket writing a blog post for you all this morning. I’m in the studio today with my peppermint mocha with a dash of almond milk (thank heavens for Young Living’s Vitality oils), have pumpkin spice in my diffuser, and am surrounded by all the cozy fall feels!

I…

Artists Supporting Artists

Good morning, friends. Welcome to the second post of The QuinDu Journal. I apologize for not getting the Monday Update posted yesterday. Since I had military obligations over the weekend, I needed to spend a little time just relaxing and recouping. I took a day off for rest, but am ready to crush the week today! Okay. So I MAY have a rather large cup of black coffee right in front of me. No…

The QuinDu Journal

Hello September! The beginning of this month marks a very special milestone for me and my brand. One year ago, I wrote my first blog post addressing my desire to begin working for myself as a full-time artist. We’ve officially made it through the first year! If you’d like to look back on that first blog post, I’ll link it here for a quick reference.

There have been many successes and many…

Fall Preparations

This is going to be another quick one this morning, friends! It’s already in the 40’s here in Minnesota. Oofta. Summer is truly simmering down and that has got me SO excited for what’s coming up! I’ve started to get involved a lot more in my local art community recently and I am currently working on setting up some events and collaborations for this fall season.

I’ll throw out some more…

My Unfinished Finished Studio (UPDATE)

Summer is simply flying by. I hope you have all been enjoying it and making the most of it! For today’s post, I wanted to give you all a very quick update on where I’m at with the art studio and a brief idea of what’s to come.

For the past several weeks, I have been working on my new art studio space. For those of you who may be new or don’t know what I’m talking about, I have moved my studio…

Did I Give Up on Art? (Summer Update)

Did I Give Up on Art? (Summer Update)

Good morning, friends!

Summer is here and it’s been a HOT minute since I’ve shared a blog post with you guys! For the longest time, I had never missed a post, even through holidays, but lately, I’ve been having a hard time keeping still and posting regularly! Things change with the seasons, I guess!

I’ve been away for various reasons: military, family events, and other things that are…

Good morning, friends!

It feels like it’s been a hot minute since I’ve been around and I’m so beyond excited to get back to work this week! For those that don’t know, I am in the Air Force Reserve as well and there are times that I have to just disappear for that. Though I can never say exactly what is going on or when it’s happening, you can all assume that if I’m ever randomly quiet, that may…

From Skepticism to Getting Paid - My Personal Struggle with Money

From Skepticism to Getting Paid – My Personal Struggle with Money

You guys, I’m so happy I could cry right now. Seriously. I’m almost in tears.

Today I got my first decent paycheck from Young Living and it couldn’t have come at a better time. Honestly, when I first decided to join and say ‘yes’, I truly had no idea if I would be able to make any money from it. I had done network marketing in the past and never made a dime (granted I did quit early on and…

My Patreon Account & New shop listings.

Hey, friends! Recently, you may have noticed that I added a few new things to the shop! This wasn’t the plan but a girl’s gotta start bringing in some extra $. Here’s the scoop:

I have been stocking up on these postcards and other fun extras to be used as rewards for my different tiers for my Patreon account. If you don’t know what this is, I’ve added the link here but it’s basically an…

Art Works Gallery Exhibition

Art Works Gallery Exhibition

The last several days have been very busy, but today I’m back in the studio! Before I get started tackling my “to-do” list, I wanted to write you all and give you a quick summary of the weekend!

Last night was the opener for the Art Works Gallery exhibition: “More than the Sum of Its Parts.”

This gallery is located in Eagan, MN, and is still relatively new. I was very excited when they…
