I Am An Artist  

August 28, 2017 Katie Gebely
IMG_4541-01.jpeg

For years, I’ve been making art: painting, lettering, line drawings and other dabbles here and there. I sold several pieces, created a website and posted consistently on my Instagram account. Still, I never confidently declared myself an artist. I shyly would mention it here and there to friends and family, but never did feel confident in saying it. Why?

My Artwork: Hand-Lettered Posters

July 12, 2017 Katie Gebely

Ever since I can remember, I have loved to write. Pen, paper and thoughts, all working together to in an effort to capture the things in my head and on my heart. Whether it be with my messy, loose writing from my journal pages, or my quirky, more controlled, fluid writing I use in my coloring book and some of my doodles.  All hand-writing is beautiful in its own way, isn't it?

My Artwork: Art Journals

June 15, 2017 Katie Gebely

Over the weekend I pulled out some of my old journals. I do this every now and then just to check in and revisit some of those good ole' days. But it's usually a bit of an emotional roller coaster, paging through the past, thinking about what was and what could have been. But also confirming that where I am now was meant to be and I am so grateful for the rocky road I took.

Why I Need Simple

May 8, 2017 Katie Gebely
why-i-need-simple.jpeg

I need simple so I can spend less time making decisions, less time cleaning up and organizing, less time being distracted and less time trying so hard to "keep it all together." I need simple so I can see more clearly the life I want to live and actually live it. So I can have more moments of listening to my daughter laugh, walking our dog, spending time with my husband and cooking from scratch. I want to savor these times more, rather than multitasking my way through them.

Capturing Creativity On the Go

March 21, 2017 Katie Gebely

Don't you hate when something you see sparks your creativity, but you can't seem to capture it because you're on the move? You try your best to remember it later, but it gets lost among your sea of thoughts. We all go about our business, day in and day out. Creativity is right there with us, but sometimes it's hard to capture those morsels of inspiration when we have other things going on.

Simplicity + Motherhood

February 22, 2017 Katie Gebely

I'm learning that trying to maintain a simple lifestyle with a young child can be very difficult. She's growing up so quickly and week by week she's needing bigger clothes, new foods to try and different toys to keep her attention.

Six months ago I opened my Etsy shop! 🙌  It's been a slow and steady journey, and I'm so grateful for all of YOU who have supported me along the way!

Why Beads? Why Jewelry? Why something new (yet again)? Because...
...
I wanted to make something that would add some pizzazz to my neutral, capsule(ish), comfy mama wardrobe.
...
I wanted something easy to wear (while chasing after a toddler) and something that reflected the true colors in my soul (because those colors have felt dim for a while now 😔).
...
And most of all, I wanted to make something that could spark happy, spunky, artful days in other people because we are all trudging through this life together and should help each other carry brightness and joy every day ❤️🌞.
