I actually drew this TODAY which is a rarely prompt treat for all of you. I am dog sitting RN and bored ಡ ͜ ʖ ಡ
You should all go listen to both 'Remember' (Sean Solomon) and 'I Like (Saturn, The Moon, ect.)' (Blake Rouse) because the first lines of those songs scratch such an itch in the brain.
Anyway I like stuff.

One of the big projects that I was working on in April was making a big batch of these beaded earrings to sell at markets this summer. I'm still missing the findings right now, but I felt rather magical creating these medieval style earrings. I have some adorable signage in the works too 😉

I have been a beading maniac the last few months are these are the latest innovation! I sculpted little beads out of polymer clay and painted them with little folk-art style pictures. (Extra bead painting ideas at the end.) They turned out super light and comfy!

I made these flannel bloomer/pajama pants the other day and they are so cozy! The fabric reminds me of these Veggie Tales bedsheets I had when I was little. I also added some vintage buttons to these.

🌸 BABY BLOOMERS! 🌸
Since I have been so obsessed recently with sewing bloomers, I thought that I should make a few pairs to sell this summer at my market booth! These feature donated and thrifted materials, easily adjustable elastic waistbands, and professionally finished seams.
While I still don't have all the details worked out with dates and locations, be assured that my products are going to be whimsical, well made, and diverse in subject 😉
I'M SO EXCITED!!!

I'm growing my bangs out a little longer, which means that they are IN my eyes when wet. So now I wear a lot of hair clips. And I've been MAKING a lot of hair clips :0
These are kind of still experiments, since I want to make some sets, but they are pretty cute so here you go.

This dress was made from a circular tablecloth that I found thrifting. (A great way to get a lot of fabric for cheap!) I incorporated heart details into the skirt and cutout in the back to pair with the extremely bright color. It's about knee-length on me, so I like wearing it with a pair of jeans underneath right now.

I have refused to be cold this winter. It's been a super mild winter where I live, but nevertheless, I do live in Montana and my car has a permanently open window. So, I knit myself these fantastic mittens and scarf out of some beautiful wool I was given. I'm obsessed with how this bright green yarn covered in black fuzz looks like lichen. The mittens were a bit of a learning experience since they were the first I've ever made and I chose to do a fair isle pattern, but it wasn't even that hard!
Anyway, now my hands and neck are toasty. 🙂

I bought this cute (maybe vintage?) fabric at a thrift store when visiting Missoula. I think it may have been a bed sheet or something, but I knew that it would make the perfect pair of bloomers. The pin tucks at the bottom create a fantastic silhouette when I wear them.
Bonus: I made a pair of baby bloomers out of my leftover scraps to sell this summer at my market booth. 🙂

I finally finished the sweater vest I started months ago! I learned a lot of stuff while making this since it was my first big piece knit in the round. I unraveled another sweater that I thrifted to get yarn for this which is cool.
Now if I can only get my hands on a full sweaters worth of yarn...

These are probably my favorite to wear of all the little beaded earrings I've been making! Unexpectedly! The hanging pearls remind me a bit of tiny bird sculls which give these a bit more of a gothic look. They are great to hang along side a longer pair in my firsts too.

I've been making so many of these light little seed bead earrings. These are just the right size and look great with my other piercings.

Another pair of hair clips that I made for myself! These ones are luna moths, and are probably the ones that I wear the most often. Cute!

These apple earrings were a gift for a friend for her birthday! They are so tiny and adorable! The other two photos here are projects in progress. The cat clock I still need to attach to something. I'm thinking a little bag for glasses or a phone? Ideas are welcome! 🙂

I was basically just having fun playing around with shapes for this one. The little moon rabbits gives be so much joy, and I had so much fun working with this color scheme!

Made these beaded hair clips for a friend for her birthday this month! This is one of the more complex color patterns I've done, and I was happy with how they turned out!

I made these cards for Christmas this year for my friends and family! I love how they turned out, but I'm still working out some kinks with the stamp so these exact designs probably won't be available to purchase. It just makes them extra special gifts though!

I discovered while making this that someone wrote a book with this as the title. This piece has no correlation that book and is not a recommendation to read it. I just wanted to draw a chill turt.
If it's good tho let me know.

I was super into beading in December, and here are a few hair clips I made as gifts! The are seed beads stitched together with a square stitch and I glued felt on the back for stability before attaching it to the barrette.

This gent is based off a fantastic little figurine I picked up at an antique store in Minnesota last fall. Look at his smug little face. Look at it.

This piece was basically just an excuse to paint with the colors from these pictures I took when I saw Beetlejuice in November. It was a fantastic experience and I will forever be in awe of the sets and props (and everything else) of a broadway show ❤
