Sweet potato veg chili - an Instapot miracle



 I actually cooked from scratch today. 7 minutes to cook, 10 minutes to depressurize. It tasted great. The hardest part was chopping the sweet potato and opening the cans!

Gouache workshop with Gayle and Jennifer

The dot faces warm up was fun.


It's not supposed to look exactly like the Klimt painting. It's about the process, not the product. I'm just happy she doesn't look like an alien.

The dual device setup.

The creative mess.






 

I need to win the lottery.

I sent these to Amber in Moab.

She's one of my 3-4 followers on Insta! I've been learning some things from Kristy Rice of Art for Joy's Sake. She's got a lot to teach me. I'm grateful for youtube artists who share their ideas.


 

I made this scarf pattern 5 times during February break.

This is Clover, the cutest scarf model around.



 

I learned to use the Cricut machine at school

Thanks to Mrs. DeMarzo.


 

It's finished, and only took 3 months and 3 weeks!

After blocking it grew, which was good, because I wanted the sleeves and body a bit longer. The fabric is very soft and drapey, now, too.
