I’m so happy with how these came out! These headphones have been good to me, but the pleather started cracking and peeling off a while ago as it’s wont to do. I can’t stand that! So I decided to do something about it. I picked a couple of scraps with a lot of stretch from my fabric stash and sewed them right on the peeling headphone band. So much more enjoyable to use now!!

My front door looks so naked! Trevor and I made a wreath for the holidays, but its best days are long behind it now, and I want some color for springtime! Luckily we still had a ton of grapevine cuttings from last fall — I decided to soak them and see how many wreath forms I can get out of them. The first bathtub batch yielded a wreath and a half. (Not bad!) I’ve still got plenty more to soak but also I’m having fun thinking about how to style them. I’m thinking moss? Stay tuned…

I finished this one-of-a-kind, glammed-up Valentines garland halfway through the day today so…I’m gonna leave it up for a while! ❤️ It was a really fun way to use up a bunch of tiny treasures and scraps of materials I’d been saving — ribbons, beads, rhinestones, tassels, dollar store ponies, cell phone charms, aluminum foil, broken earrings, etc etc etc. The finished piece includes weaving, embroidery, appliqué, and collage, among other techniques.

 

A friend of mine is starting a group for artists and crafters to meet up (virtually!) and work on projects together, so I made this little cover image for the group! I’m really looking forward to these hangouts, especially since I haven’t been able to visit friends in so long. I need that creative companionship!!
