C’est 1er avril — le temps du poisson d’avril ! So I made a paper fish for someone special.

Fixed a hole in this ancient flannel robe…now it’s cozy again 🙂

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!!

I’m making twine from a bunch of fabric scraps I’ve been saving forever because I hate wasting supplies — I learned how on YouTube in like two minutes! It’s gonna become storage baskets for my dog’s many toys 🙂 I think it looks so cool.

This was SUCH a challenging project — I spent so much time experimenting with different materials, had so many false starts. It worked out in the end! At first I was thinking maybe papier-mâché but ended up using modeling clay. I think papier-mâché would be so fun for puppets at a little bit larger scale though!

Our puppy Trevor and I collaborated on this little pawprint ornament to celebrate his first Christmas season! We adopted him in April and he’s almost a year old now! He has added so much fun and laughter and love to our household, I can’t imagine it without him anymore.
