Sure, there may not be such thing as a crappy gift — after all it’s the thought that counts. But sometimes what you’re gifted can be turned into something even better with a little bit of effort and a lot of motivation. So we asked Erica Domesek, of PS I Made This, to walk us through a DIY project every day this week.
Did your sister stick a bow on a pile of totes and say Merry Christmas?
On the one hand, one can never have too many totes. On the other, their beige canvas doesn’t do much for an outfit.

Of Smiles and frowns!!!
I must admit Christmas season was one of a kind this time around. After hearing all those appalling stories of people stuck in Airports for hours on end,that was the first killer on behalf of other last minute travelers.
Secondly,its really cold down here in Africa around this time and we have resorted to wearing boots too!
Anyways,we could still afford to smile through it all and hoped for the best for our brothers and sisters on the other side.
Happy Holidays,
With peace and Love,
Esi

Words as weapons.
Paintings Using Words, by May Stevens
An extraordinary artist, poet, teacher, and social activist. Throughout her career, May Stevens has been a committed political activist. Her powerful work reflects her rejection of racism, imperialism, war, and sexism.
She also has focused on the lives of women, using her mother, Alice, as the subject of many of her paintings.
Increasingly May Stevens has included words in her paintings (Sea of Words). As she has said, “Words are everywhere. When I use (them) in my paintings, they describe some of the ideas and emotions that make up that painting. But as they become illegible, they give up their identity to become a thread, a tone, a sound, a passage that is a vital element in the configuration but not necessarily one that is individually distinguishable.”
