I FINALLY finished this dang thing!! I took a 2 month break in the middle while I was working 12 hour days but I still never work on a piece for so long and it feels great to be done. Now I can start other things guilt-free! https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp-jUvJDBTB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ttslzdjnopl5

This weekend I said no to all offers to hang out because I’ve been in desperate need of some me time. But also because I purchased a linocut printmaking kit and wanted to play. I have no idea what I’m doing, but I’m having fun! https://www.instagram.com/p/BoXQzEJhHRO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=jnaif49mtbmq

Slowly slowly I’m getting there. I’m in that fun middle stage where I’m questioning all my decisions, but I think once it’s all been detailed and finished that it’ll turn into what I’ve been picturing https://www.instagram.com/p/BnkNmcFhYzQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1izxtpla494yp

Planning/tests for an embroidery project for a friend. Having a whole weekend with no plans feels so good https://www.instagram.com/p/BmYq9nGhNjE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=l0kciz8bnodz

Yall I am so busy right now I don’t have a whole lot of time or energy to make things, so here’s some pics of an ongoing project. I’ve been sewing little fruits and veg into this hat for I think over a month and I dont think I’ll be done for a while https://www.instagram.com/p/BmV_5mpBsOk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18anugem1gz3q

Finally found a use for this teeny 3” hoop. I love her

Here’s what I ended up on- took nobody’s advice or opinion, not even my own. I’ve been so excited about this that I was working on some other new pieces tomorrow and didn’t realize I hadn’t eaten dinner til after midnight. It may be a problem.....

I’ve been meaning to play around with combining paints and embroidery for maybe a year now? And now that I did it I can’t figure out why I didn’t do it earlier. I love how this turned out, and it’s just a quick 1-day project. I need to play more but this has me excited. Also-do I add to the leaves? Maybe some softer blue outlines? I can’t decide

Dear Colorado, I love your sheep.

I think this is my favorite

I’m obsessed with this blue, sue me

Kinda wish I’d stopped before adding the blue border, but that’s often the way of things. I was just enjoying painting this so much I didn’t wanna stop!

I can’t manage to stick to one style (or medium fo that matter) for very long recently, but that’s alright. Not terribly surprising for someone with severe ADHD.

Amanda’s wedding was super beautiful and I’m so glad I got to help out in some small way :)

I love my weird and powerful daughters.

Finished product! I love how this turned out, and I hope I’ll get to do more like it. Sorry for the 3 mildly shitty photos- taking pictures of mirrors is IMPOSSIBLE!!!!

Test for a welcome sign for a friend’s wedding. Apparently I do these now!
