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…
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 summer however, I realized (through a new personal Notion organizational system) that almost all of my post-covid projects…
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…
Last tuesday evening, I finally had some energy to get up and craft! I decided to finally make a name stamp for clay, since I’d be going to my first pottery class the following evening and might need to mark my pieces (the teacher ended up scrapping all of our clay for reclaim haha, since…
A couple of months ago Sarah showed me how to hand-build with clay, and then she took me to her studio and showed me how to throw on a wheel. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about pottery ever since. 😂 I got a tiny wheel to practice on at home, and also signed…
Sharing my birthday post with Toast this year since he didn’t get his own last week! ♡ We turned 31 and 12, and I thought I’d celebrate by sharing a photo of us from each year 2022 – 2012. Not to be a tease, but the last 2 photos, 2013 and 2012, are some of…
