I FINALLY finished this dang thing!! I took a 2 month break in the middle while I was working 12 hour days but I still never work on a piece for so long and it feels great to be done. Now I can start other things guilt-free!

This weekend I said no to all offers to hang out because I’ve been in desperate need of some me time. But also because I purchased a linocut printmaking kit and wanted to play. I have no idea what I’m doing, but I’m having fun!

Slowly slowly I’m getting there. I’m in that fun middle stage where I’m questioning all my decisions, but I think once it’s all been detailed and finished that it’ll turn into what I’ve been picturing

Planning/tests for an embroidery project for a friend. Having a whole weekend with no plans feels so good

Yall I am so busy right now I don’t have a whole lot of time or energy to make things, so here’s some pics of an ongoing project. I’ve been sewing little fruits and veg into this hat for I think over a month and I dont think I’ll be done for a while

Finally found a use for this teeny 3” hoop. I love her

Here’s what I ended up on- took nobody’s advice or opinion, not even my own. I’ve been so excited about this that I was working on some other new pieces tomorrow and didn’t realize I hadn’t eaten dinner til after midnight. It may be a problem…..

I’ve been meaning to play around with combining paints and embroidery for maybe a year now? And now that I did it I can’t figure out why I didn’t do it earlier. I love how this turned out, and it’s just a quick 1-day project. I need to play more but this has me excited. Also-do I add to the leaves? Maybe some softer blue outlines? I can’t decide

Dear Colorado, I love your sheep.

I think this is my favorite

I’m obsessed with this blue, sue me

Kinda wish I’d stopped before adding the blue border, but that’s often the way of things. I was just enjoying painting this so much I didn’t wanna stop!
