This yarn barf is a pretty accurate metaphor for my week.

A photo of my desk with a pile of tangled yarn on the left and the work in progress elf hat on the right. Behind this from left to right is my yellow water bottle with stickers, an open Diet Coke (my third this morning), my iPad and computer keyboard, my yellow notions pouch with pins on it, and my computer mouse.

I’ve crocheted a lot of things this year but have been negligent in washing them. I did the thing today! 🎉
#YarnLove #OnlyBeautifulThings #Crochet #MakingThings #ArtYear #ThinkingAboutMaking

A photo of a damp yellow crocheted piece stretched out on a gray blocking mat on my kitchen table. Anwyn, the yellow Corgidor, peeks out from under the table. The pattern is
“Isabelle's Crescent Shawlette” by Laurinda Reddig. Yarn is Mermaid's Hair Fingering from Fairy Tale Yarn Co in the color “Heart of the TARDIS.”

A photo of a clothing drying rack with three triangle shawls stretched out over it. So many beautiful colors!! In three different patterns.

A photo of 2 scarves and an absolutely ginormous rainbow colored triangle shawl drying on towels on my bed. There’s a Monet water lily colored scarf (mostly green but with bits of pink and yellow and blue) on the left of the shawl and a tone on tone purple scarf on the right of the shawl.

I’m going to finish blog prep today before I’m forced to cosplay a teen staying up late studying for finals!

Thinking about the process of moving from being an artist who makes BIG things to becoming one who works small. Drops tomorrow!

This page I made during 2020 has been on my mind so I went and found it. It says “What you are feeling is grief” See why it’s been on my mind?

A photo of an art journal page. There’s a lot of abstract green and distressed black and gray. In pencil on the left it says “What you are feeling is grief”

This week I'm reflecting on a thing I keep forgetting over and over again. All progress counts, even the babiest of steps.

This weaving is finished and I’m contemplating what to do with it next. #PaperWeaving
#ThinkingAboutMaking #MakingThings #ArtYear #OnlyBeautifulThings
#Collage #CollageMaker

A photo of a paper and string weaving. The warp is natural-colored cotton string and the weft is mostly blues and teals papers that I’ve painted, and/or drawn on, or are pieces from my journals I’ve printed and cut up, or are fancy store bought art papers. It’s laying on a piece of cabbage eco-dyed paper.

A photo of a small wooden loom sitting on top of a pile of papers, lotsa blue and purple. The weaving is maybe a third finished and it’s a lot of blue. The warp is heavy natural-colored cotton string and the weft is paper.

Cut yourself some slack if you haven’t made anything in a while and then get intentional. That’s what I’m doing. Read more here.

There are seasons of life when daily studio work isn't much of an option. A reminder to myself that being intentional is key.

I spent a huge chunk of today in my studio. I went though my pen bins making marks, refilling empties, and demoting things I don’t use. Then spent some time just mark making.
