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 ♡
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,…
Over a year ago I got really into the idea of trying out punch needle as a hobby, but somehow managed to stop myself from diving in by telling myself I shouldn’t start any new hobbies.

This year for my birthday Mike surprised me with a mini trip to Solvang, a cute city filled with Danish-style architecture. ♡ We mostly spent the time wandering around and eating snacks haha. At one point we passed a shop called Rasmussen’s that had a sign saying there were linens and yarns inside, so of…
A combination of a few things inspired me to try block printing fabric for the first time this weekend: This Celeste bath towel by KJP that I picked up at Prelude & Dawn Discovering @meg_____makes and her amazing hand-painted and printed textiles on instagram A neon pink Jacquard textile paint I found at Crush &…
Last summer when I visited Illinois, my dad and I traded lasercutting materials. I gave him heat transfer vinyl in a bunch of colors, and he gave me some silver and gold foil, as well as a sheet of natural rubber. I only recently figured out the perfect idea to make with the rubber –…
I think I’ve wanted to make the Grainline Studio Field Bag ever since I first saw the sewing pattern, but I really could not think of a good reason for doing so. But then, after I finally started crocheting and knitting, I realized I finally had a practical use for it. 🎉😂 I accidentally washed…
I’m almost done making all the granny squares for a cardigan, and realized I would need a way of blocking them soon. I didn’t feel like buying a blocking pad or board so I decided to make my own after work today, using all scrap materials (laser cutting and assembly process photos below) . 🌼…
