TOMORROW’S DREAMS TODAY
Let your dreams have a voice. Let them be heard, if only on a piece of paper. Let them sing or scream or whisper. Let them out.
Let them live. Let them not wait on Italy, or money or the stars to align. Beg of them, “Where can you show up today?”
Sure you may have to start small today, but you can still start. And starting is the point. [READ MORE...]
ARTIST, BOTANIST, COWBOY: Homeschooling by Imperfect Curiosity
I woke up this morning unsure of what our homeschooling day would look like. I figured there would probably be books involved. Maybe some drawing. Perhaps some discussion about what it means to treat someone else with kindness. But overall, those were just best guesses. [READ MORE...]
ANGRY HOMEMADE NOODLES: Imperfect Motherhood
Angry Homemade Noodles is based on my own personal journey as a mom from anger towards freedom in Christ.

THE ART ON MY SHELVES:
SCRAP GIRLS
ETSY
WELCOME to this quaint little nook in my Messy Canvas Blog. You have entered a porthole into a new world for me, a world where I’ve committed to creating art in some sort of lovely pattern. A world that is possible because of a lot of things I’ve given up, and a lot of things I’ve accepted about myself. A world that makes me squeal with delight, because even though it’s just a corner, it’s my corner that I have breathed life into and begged to wake-up into something new. My alarm clock on my phone is labeled, “I’m an artist living my dreams!” And this little corner of my world can attest to that. As I continue to create , I hope you’ll find something that moves your heart, catches your breath, dares you to dream again or hope again or live fully once again. Thank you for your purchases which support my creative dreams. I hope in turn I will be helping you launch into your own. If you need any further assistance you can email me at mandy.steward@gmail.com.
