My mom is into photography. Researching all the best cameras and lenses, watching YouTube videos about said cameras and lenses... she has a really nice camera (I have no idea what it is, but it's not something I want to mess around with. Knowing me, I'd drop it.) A week or so ago, I was … Continue reading Photography Skills
Hello friends! I hope this Tuesday finds you all doing well, being creative and productive, and enjoying it all! 🙂 Work on Fox has come to a standstill...

This is Day 2 of the fox-in-progress since I actually started on it yesterday... it is knit in several different pieces - arms, legs, tail, ears, body, head. Starting with the body, at the neckline. Once all the pieces are knit, they are sewn up and stuffed to perfection. And from there, placement to the … Continue reading Fox in Progress – Day 2

Mom and I printed out some new item tags and business cards a few weeks ago (maybe last month). 🙂 We think they turned out pretty nice: I like to keep my cards and tags fairly simple - business name, artist info, contact info and website/blog. For a few of the cards, I have colored … Continue reading New Item Tags!
I had never sewn a cow before my grandmother asked for one, but I think these are simply adorable! The pattern is "Moo Moo" by Melly and Me, fairly quick to sew up once you've finally made the difficult decisions of which fabrics to use. 😉 I did enjoy making these. Following is the first … Continue reading The Cow Says “Moo”
