clean up. let it go. breathe. exhale. refresh.live life.

The new year is upon us in a few short hours. I’ve been puttering around all day tidying up the place, doing laundry, setting dishwasher (t.g.f.dishwasher!), I’ve even invested in glass coffee tables with storage so that I can really declutter, and wiping old ugly thoughts and developing new ideas for 2009. I’m quite looking forward to this year ahead. I have heaps of really cool stuff planned for this blog and a bunch of amazing people helping my dreams come true. I don’t lie when I say ” Move over Martha, there is a new Stewart in town”. My name is Casie Stewart, I am proud of the unique person I am and I want to encourage others to create, share thoughts and ideas and inspire others to be individuals. One thing I hold close to my heart is knowing that thoughts become things, you are a product of your thoughts. You are who you think you are. If you think you are awesome, adorable and funny, then live that way, be that person and be your true self. After my year in Australia away from friends and family I learned who I am as a person and how to embrace that, foster it, and make something of it. I learned how to be myself. I encourage you to inspire and embrace those around you. This year, give thanks for being able to breath clean air, see the sunrise and sunset, to share a laugh with a trusted friend and ball your eyes out with your BFF. Be thankful for each day. My wish and challenge for you in 2009 Next time someone asks you ‘what’s new?” don’t say “nothing, same as usual”, say “everything is new, today is a new day”. Think to yourself, think about yourself, each…

borderline borderline borderline artistic

I was pondering about something to draw the other day when my artsy BF said ‘how about unnecessary wheels?‘. I found that to be a lovely idea and began the following series. There are four so far. I’m going for about 20. If you have an idea of something that does not NEED wheels, let me know. I’m always down for a challenge!!

sketch pad

I got a new sketch pad about a week before holiday’s started and just about filled the whole thing. I’ve been drawing & painting with mixed materials: acrylic & water colour paint, pastel, charcoal, lead, pencil crayon, & wax crayon. It’s pretty exciting. I’ve always been an artsy one but NOW, the time has come. I’m going all borderline artistic and looking forward to some exciting stuff in 2009. My professional gallery, Borderline Contemporary will be opening in Spring 2009. I’ve got several artists lined up. I’m super excited. I’ve always wanted to have my own gallery and this year, my dreams shall come true!!

snow. wind. snow. wind. snow. wind. sunshine.

It was totally insane Friday when the snow was coming down like mad. I could barely see out of my windows. The building across the street was showing very restricted visibility despite being so close! We’ve had crazy noise from the wind! Scary when you’re out on that balconia!!

getting crafty for the holidays

I made a whole bunch of holiday cards this year. I’ve made several for people in the past including my mum’s whole set last year! I did it a little different this year using oil paints, paper and markers. They turned out pretty cool! I take custom orders. Cut and paste is one of my favorite activities overall.

bloody hangnail!!!!

Last night my sister and I were thinking how annoying it is to have a hangnail. Especially when you accidentally cut your own self with your own hang nail. The worst case scenario would be if you cut your own face. Thus, the following sketch was inspired…

holiday spirit?

Mine seems to have slipped out of my soul this year for the first time in my life. I’m heading home to see my family on the Eve and back on Boxing day. I’ll be at DeeJayScootz party downtown on the West side on Boxing Day. Not too much planned otherwise. This weather makes me want to stay inside where is is warm in my condo with my nice big TV, lots of movies, my man, friends and just a few other things. I bought a box of turtles last night and they are almost gone, I only shared a few. I’ve been sketching lots of stuff the past week that will soon be on borderline artistic so keep ya eyes peeled!!
