A Crafter’s Life: my day in photos.
I love, love, love this girl. When I did my Blog It Forward post (thanks again, Victoria!), I mentioned Katie as being a huge inspiration to me. If ever there is a moment I am feeling down I can always count on her site and artwork to make me smile. She is creative, full of life and looks like someone you would just want to hang out with. All the time. I’m so happy that she had a little bit of time away from her smile bringing to share her life with us.

First of all, can you tell us what you create?
I create fun, whimsical photographs! My blog is a combination of street art, crafty projects, and silly pictures.
How do you being your day? Any morning rituals?
I always start my day in the kitchen since it’s the brightest room in the house. I make coffee, feed the birds on my fire escape to entertain my cat Moo, and then do a quick clean of the room. My head is messy if my apartment is messy.
Do you do something crafty each day? Where does your inspiration come from?
I do something crafty almost everyday. I just love making things with my hands. I get inspiration from absolutely everything!
What’s your workspace like {organized}?
I wake up with a clean workspace, then I make a complete mess throughout the day, then I clean it all up right after.
How many hours does your normal work day consist of?
Every day I’m working on something different but I’m usually working from the time I wake up till really late at night. It’s actually difficult not to be working on something because my job and my hobbies are the same thing!
How do you end your day of crafty business? Any evening rituals?
I like to watch old movies with my boyfriend late at night. We have a projector in our back room which makes it feel like we’re at the movies. I sometimes like to act with the actors on screen ;)
What is your definition of a perfect day?
Coming up with a fun idea in the morning and being able to execute it the same day. It feels like such an accomplishment!
Thanks so much, Katie! You really do bring joy to so many lives and I always look forward to seeing what new art you’ll create.

I came across Katie’s blog last year – and I’m completely in love with it. she’s amazing – I don’t know how she constantly comes up with such great ideas! She’s so inspiring, thanks for sharing more about her :)
Those converse sneakers are so cute. Also the Pacman walls in the background are adorable. I wonder where these pictures were taken!
