Decided to take up crochet for a bit of fun, maybe quicker creative dive/faster than normal stuff. This was my 1st attempt. Very encouraged. Wore it yesterday for my BLUE when out and about. A big thank you to the YouTube crocheters that made it possible. Learning circles today. #textiles #crochet

Me too, but so worth it in the end!

I always forget how much time is involved in the piecing and cutting and ironing….before you get to play with the threads. One of my minis is close to being ready for thread painting. Feels so good to be playing with color. Took my mind off of judicial disappointments today. #art #quiltsky

Still stitching today, but am also working on creating some pages for the tree book. #stitching #embroidery #junkjournals #bookmaking #textiles
