Shoutout to @speedball_art – this open tube of block printing ink sat in storage for over 10 years and still works great. 😂 Pulled out my carving kit on a whim last night (I’m still staying in my childhood bedroom) and made this stamp. I’m loving the imperfection of this compared to the lasercut stamps I was…
Ever since we signed the initial contract to purchase our house in February, I’ve been itching to do some household DIYS. But since we’re not actually moving into the house until this summer, I’m kind of limited in what I can do (meaning, I can’t get started yet on this built-in vanity transformation I mocked…
Borrowed my mom’s little cricut machine last night to experiment~ Decided to decorate my work laptop with some removable decals 🌸 I put the leftover flower cutouts on the walls of my childhood bedroom – I like how they cast tiny reflections haha ♡
My mom washed some pink strawberries in the berry bowl I made her for xmas so I took advantage of the sun and did a mini photoshoot~ I handbuilt this ceramic bowl at the end of last year while I was still at @membersonlylapotterystudio ♡
A couple months ago I visited The Wasteshed for the first time and found this bright orange cotton jersey, which was perfect because I had just recently purchased the Jackson Tee and Pullover pattern by Helen’s Closet (available in up to a 60″ chest). Now that I’m back living in colder weather, I’ve found I…
I made a dress!~ I got this pink corduroy from my mom’s stash, borrowed her sewing room, and finally had an excuse to try out the Bardon Dress pattern by @elbe_textiles / @peppermintmagazine (a free pattern available in up to 53″ bust). ♡ I made it in size C and only ended up shortening the straps a bit, and…
Documenting lunar new year (and mike’s bday) dinner 2023! 💕🐇🧧🥟 I think this is the first time I’ve been able to celebrate the new year with my parents in at least 10 years!! So grateful that we can cook and eat together again, and looking forward to many more meals to come. ♡ Dishes made…
Finally sharing this flannel shirt I sewed in october! After getting covid this past summer and dealing with the aftermath, I realized that sewing surprisingly takes a lot of both mental and physical energy. So with this shirt, I intentionally paced myself and only worked on a small section each day (vs trying to power…
https://www.creativebug.com/classseries/single/crochet-sampler-a-daily-practice Finally got photos of the crocheted blanket I made! Awhile back I started following Twinkie Chan‘s Crochet Sampler class on Creativebug, and ended up making 6 of each of my favorite squares (72 total) so that I’d have enough to make a throw-sized blanket. ♡ Details: Joins: Continuous Join As You Go (Pull Through Loop) Method,…
Here are the pieces I made in the Wheel 1 class at POT Echo Park! (unintentionally stackable haha ♡) I delayed taking the class this summer due to covid, and ended up watching the Great Pottery Throwdown series two times through before finally getting to play with clay again – I am happy to report that…
