Okay, so I said from the beginning that drawing every day was my #1 goal and posting said drawings each day was goal #2. Well, I stuck with the #1 and kept drawing even though I wasn’t posting them. Sorry for the mass post here, but it’s with good reason. I started and finished and [...]

This past year Diane of the CraftyPod and I decided to collaborate on a short and sweet little ebook on what to do with those leftovers related to giving gifts… 5 months later this amazing ebook has turned in to a 63 page resource on paper making, collaging with fabric, and combining that annoying curling [...]

Hey, today is day 20 with no misses. I’m on the cusp of three weeks. I think I can keep this up no problem. I cleaned up my home studio area this morning and started work on Beef it’s what’s for dinner (food chain series) piece again. I love that steer and it’s about time [...]

I am loving my new peg board! I finally got a drywall screw mount and have finished rehanging all my tools. Ah, it makes me so happy! All that lovely tape, scissors, rulers, and other little tools. Ahhh… and  a few momentoes: the Editor’s Choice ribbon from the Maker Faire this past summer, a sewn [...]

Well, I’ve had quite a huge pile of wips building up over the last 6 months and I decided to go through my yarn ones today and try to figure out my plan of attack – getting them finished up and out of the basket so I can start wearing them around. It’s funny that [...]

I finally gave making my own charcoal a shot and it worked out great! I used some doll rod scraps from another project to make some charcoal for myself. I haven’t drawn with it yet though, but my test marks seem very nice. I also used a reject whittled crochet hook too – the funnest [...]

Two great things today! First, was the first class of a three part class on making a sun hat out of raffia – working with raffia being the primary focus of the class. It’s a challenge, but it’s fun and I love the way it looks crocheted up. Second is that for the very first [...]

In my last post I mentioned my romance in my studio with paint and thought it was about time I showed you it. Now it’s in progress, so don’t be too harsh. It started out as a piece for the Thursday Sketch challenge, I just wanted to do some drawings/paintings based on this animal anatomy [...]

Not something particular to Thursday, but today is Thursday and I’m showing you some wips, so there you go. This is the start of the second market bag. I am feeling pretty good about this pattern as I am taking detailed notes and typing it up as I go along. I should be able to [...]

I’m going to be teaching a class on how to make a crocheted market bag – this crocheted market bag. It was originally done with aloo yarn, and so I needed to make sure the pattern would work for other yarns that were readily available. I worked on this most of yesterday (on and off [...]
