It's Been Awhile

I've just began to get creative again. All through the lockdown, my creativity has been haphazard, discombobulated, ship shod, and non-existent. We are in strange times. I've been working on getting my creative mojo back again. One day at a time. Seriously. I have learned how to weave on a pin loom and finished a project. It will work for a larger project I have in mind. Getting back to drawing is still iffy. I do make small, very small doodles though. I've started knitting again with a free pattern from Dot Pebbles. And I'm itching to make dolls again. After all, Halloween is right around the corner.

Here's my July Bullet Journal front page I finished today. Used markers to color it.


My birthday pic. So many times around the sun. I am grateful though. Here's to another trip.


I finally got my woven rat cat toys done. Done on a TexaTurtle Loom, hexagon shape and free rat pattern (because it's the Year of the Rat).



My birthday cupcakes given to me by one of my nieces. They were oh-so-good. Moist, not too sweet... even the icing was lovely.


Knitted bunnies in the works. Free pattern and knitting videos by Dot Pebbles Knits. Gotta finish them.


And another free pattern by doll maker Jill Maas. I am further along on these two but haven't updated a pic.


These little projects have kept me somewhat going creatively. Now I really want to get back to business. As my friend Steven W. Dunn said, "I'm trying to look at this time as a new beginning since we know things will never be the same."

Belated Happy Birthday! Looks to me like the year of the rat has been good to you so far-you are as cute as ever never aging a bit. Your splendid creativity is showing all over the place too. Stay well and happy.

Thanks Steven for the belated Birthday greeting. So far the rat hasn't been good, it's actually been a bit gnarly. But thanks for saying I am cute. Really appreciate that. You stay well and happy too.

Whoa!

 Okay, wow, geesh!  This year, this crazy year is going by so fast. A lot of stuff have been happening and I'm treading water. I'm h...
