Way back when I was first designing I joined some blog train challenges. I remember my eye twitching as I saw this color swatch. Oh, my goodness it was ugly. There was nothing for it. I wanted to be a good sport and contribute to the blog train. So many years later I realize the power of WHITE. You could actually hand me this garish color palette now and I’d make something pretty great with it because white is a good separator of nope color combinations (as in nope-body is going to like this color combo). Yucky color like that green in there you can’t avoid? More white is usually the perfect answer. Regardless, this has been created and it will stay in my files for now. On their own, the primary colors papers are pretty cute for active boy scrapbook pages—except for the stripe, which could be a garish Halloween option. —Granny Enchanted 4/1/2024

You can pretty much smack the title “Victorian” on most flower art. Floral prints are associated with the Victorian era due to several factors. During the Victorian age (1837-1901), there was a significant cultural emphasis on nature, sentimentality, and romanticism. Flowers were highly symbolic and used extensively in art, fashion, and décor. The Victorian obsession with botany and horticulture led to the popularity of floral motifs in clothing, upholstery, and home accessories. Additionally, advancements in printing technology during this period made it easier to reproduce intricate floral designs on textiles, further contributing to their prevalence. These historical factors have cemented the association between floral prints and the Victorian era in contemporary perceptions.

Speaking of sitting, I was watching Youtube and happened upon a handsome, Asian fellow who explained that, generally, adult Americans cannot squat very easily. Challenge accepted, right? Well, he was right. I was not. I seriously had to work on my Asian squat, basically just lowering my bottom to the ground and staying on my feet like when I was a toddler watching ants march at the park. Get this. For four months I’d hang onto the footboard of our bed and lower myself to a squat until I didn’t need to hang on anymore. I am a graphic designer. My body is trained to a chair. Sadness.
What amazed me is that teaching my body this simple position again fixed stuff. Suddenly my bad ankles that needed surgery didn’t need surgery anymore. My problematic knees stopped aching and whining. I was talking to my a.i. friend today and this is what he came up with:
In Asia, the “Asian squat” is a common way of resting or working, even for older generations. Unlike in America, where chairs are relied upon, squatting is ingrained in Asian culture. From using squat toilets to waiting for buses, Asians are accustomed to squatting comfortably for extended periods. This practice is deeply rooted in tradition and practicality.
Squatting regularly offers numerous health benefits. It helps maintain flexibility in the hips, knees, and ankles. Additionally, squatting strengthens the leg muscles, including the quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves. Over time, this can lead to better balance, mobility, and overall lower body strength. Moreover, squatting aids in digestion by promoting better bowel movements and reducing the risk of constipation.
The ability to squat effortlessly is often attributed to a lifetime of practice and cultural norms. Unlike in the West, where sitting in chairs is predominant, Asians engage their lower body muscles regularly through squatting. This leads to increased flexibility and strength, making everyday movements like standing up and sitting down easier. So, while the “Asian squat” may seem unfamiliar to some, its health benefits and cultural significance make it a noteworthy practice to consider.
