Spoiler alert: I made a buncha books! 📚
A flat lay photo of the five books I made in March. There’s a turquoise book-fabric covered Australian Piano Hinge Book, two black covered accordion fold sketch books, a small eco dyed (tan colored with hints of blue and orange) Hungarian Map Fold Book, and a three signature pamphlet stitched sketchbook/idea book with copies of my own art in it - the cover says creative resistance.
Here’s the flat lay shot of the five books I made in March. The alt text has more descriptions of each book.

A photo of my right hand holding a crochet shawl. I’m riding in the backseat of a car with my partner in the front and my youngest kiddo driving.
Finished up a project last night and picked up this shawl. I’d like to finish it as well so I can start my butterfly sweater.

A photo of my right hand holding a little bucket of paper stars. It’s destined for my mobile.

A photo of my desk and all the bits and bobs I’m contemplating for the mobile.
I’m making a mobile and it is evolving into something larger than I anticipated 🤷🏻♀️

A photo of some crochet stars pinned and drying. They are various colors of yellow and gold on two gray blocking squares.
I’ve got more stars pinned and I’m deciding on which color(s) I want to use. I’m only procrastinating a *little* bit on construction.

New post this week is about fear and it’s not what you think!

A photo of six small paper weavings and one large paper weaving that looks like a quilt block. The colors are muted and soft.
Experimenting with some paper things. Trying to figure out what’s next.

I have been a writing *machine* this month. Meaning I’ve written a lot, not that I use AI.
Go read my latest piece about the business side of art making.

A photo of a crocheted wall hanging with a brown tassel hanging from the bottom.
A photo of a book with a wooden spool for a spine. It has a giant green tassel attached to the top of the spine.
So you know I’m obsessed with making tassels, right? It’s turning into my signature move I guess. (1/3)
