Catching Up: from July and August 2021 to July and August 2022

I spent a lot of time reading and being outside near the end of the summer of 2021, despite more rain than usual, but also spent time with family. I started quite a few pieces that are in progress and will finish them at some point, but here are my finished items.

First, I got my Sedona Soleil piece back from the framers and couldn't be happier with it. They did a lovely job.


I also finished Scarlet Letters, by Tempting Tangles, a piece I began pre-pandemic. I had to do a little adjusting because it bothered me that one of the words wasn't in alphabetical order. I charted out just switching the order of the words to fix it, but had some letters running into ones from the line below when I did that, so I ended up choosing a different, and I think a better word to substitute. I used a similar font, borrowing elements from other letters in similar fonts elsewhere in the piece to make it, and am happy with the results. 


 


This is a Mill Hill kit for a small piece that you could make into a brooch, a magnet, or another small item. I thought it was a really fun piece. 



I also started working part-time at a crafting shop in the fall of 2021, and am involved in some of their crafting workshops, camps, and classes. Since I had to do a sample for many of these, I am including a few of the ones I rather liked here. 

These ones are from the Kids Summer Camp. My favourite is the solar system necklace.
