My Favourite Way to Sort Patterns into .Pat Files

October 11, 2020 by Kim

I'm a bit obsessed with pretty patterns these days. Especially floral patterns like this set from Design Cuts. An absolute fav. In today's quick, zip tutorial I show you how I quickly convert the seamless patterns included in this pack into .PAT files for quick filling of any size and shape. If you didn't see my Design Cuts class on using Creative Cloud libraries and/or bridge in the timeline section, check out the second video below. ♡ Game-changer! Read More

Stuck? Try this with Me.

October 7, 2020 by Kim

It’s easy to get caught in the thinking of ‘all the things’. The idea comes in. So exciting. The imagination starts to flow. You pick up your phone and start scrolling for extra inspiration. The more you look, the more possibilities you find. Oh, there’s this and this, and what if I did this? Before long the original idea is lost in the looking and thinking. Enter inspiration overload. Leaving you stuck in a possibilities thought-loop. The only way out (and often the last thing we do) is to TAKE ACTION. Read More

i’m so in love with this special festive bundle from Design Cuts

September 22, 2020 by Kim

Be still my heart... is what I was thinking as I scrolled through this special Festive bundle from Design Cuts. There are so many lovely things inside ... but my favorite is the stained glass alphabet and graphics collection by Everlasting Story. These papers alone... I mean seriously. Read More

this day … the autumnal pack download and a Lightroom tutorial

September 8, 2020 by Kim

Woke to frost ... Lingered a little longer in our cozy bed. Til it was past time to get up. Brr... Pulled on an extra-long cardi and shuffled down the stairs.  Breakfast...eggs and a keto mug bread. (so good) Showered. Then out the door... Out the corner of my eye... the dill patch. 2 quick yanks, and off we went... The morning light waiting for us as we walked through the studio door. Grateful. Beyond. The studio was so chilly... we needed a little bump of heat to warm the bones. Seconds later. Clang, bang. Poof. What was that? The furnace. My immediate response. What now!!?? All that gratitude went poof just like that.. It's amazing how quickly I can shift from one feeling to the next. From so grateful to woe is me? 'Please, enough already Lord.' Sigh. John's just come up from checking things out... He's got this. We're good. All in a day...and it's only just noon. today a Lr Start to Finish tutorial and the autumnal texture pack... Read More

summer poppies by kim klassen for texture tuesdayIt’s been a few weeks since I’ve posted. How are you? I hope you’re keeping well and making the most of this upside-down time. I’m still here. No summer getaways this year. (who am I kidding...I rarely take summer getaways). : ) ♡ The truth is I’ve been full-on immersed in the Inner Circle and loving every minute of it. Oh my word, it’s so much more than I imagined it to be. What started as a space to share short tutorials and some digital downloads... has evolved into the most amazing community learning space I’ve ever had the privilege to host. I’ve said this before. It’s a bit like Netflix for creatives but so much more. And if you’ve yet to join us, you really outta pop over and check out the details. We’d love to have you in our community. Watch your inbox for an invite to an upcoming INNER CIRCLE LIVE class invite. It'll be free to the first 50 people who sign-up. Read More

not to be all about Ben but I’ve had so many pe not to be all about Ben but

I’ve had so many people asking for an update on Benny. I thought I better do a post. ♡
first thank you all.
.
so we went for his limp but it ended up a little more complicated than that.
.
He has a heart murmur that the vet is quite concerned about.
the first 15 minutes of the phone call (because you can’t go into the vet) was about his little heart.
then she continued to say he has a torn ACL and because of the heart they can not do surgery.
so 6 weeks of bedrest with the hopes he will form some scar tissue and be ok to walk again but with a limp. 
they are doing an echocardiogram on Tuesday to decide what to do next for the heart. He’s not symptomatic so we would not have known if we didn’t go for his leg.
.
.
which leads me to this…
the food we’ve had Ben on up until last year - is grain free - and it has been linked to the cause of the murmur.
last summer the vet suggested we take him off it because of the study linking it, so we switched then.
I can’t believe the food we choose because of the ‘quality’ is the cause.
and I can’t believe it’s still on the shelves.
.
if you’re curious about the study you can find the details with a quick google search.I also linked it in my stories. 
.
And please share this with your pet owning friends as well. 🙏🏻
.
.
thank you for all the love & support about our Benny.  so many beautiful comments and DMS. Grateful.
.
He’s taking it all like a trooper…other than when we go out for the loo he wags his tail and wiggles about thinking finally she’s taking me for our walk. 
straight to the heart.
.
the LOVE is deep my friends.
as I know many of you get.

friends. this beautiful boy needs your prayers an friends.

this beautiful boy needs your prayers and lotsa good thoughts.
he’s been slowing down this past week and yesterday he started limping.
today it’s much worse.
unfortunately due to covid getting into a vet is slow.
praying they can help my boy…. he’s 11 but I need him for many more years to come.

‘To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee ‘To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee,
One clover, and a bee,
And revery.
The revery alone will do,
If bees are few.”
