Custom Embroidery Hoop

During this quarantine period, I’ve been revisiting photos of older projects I’ve worked on.

Back in December, I took a commission from a coworker to create an embroidery hoop for his wife. Took me a bit of time to finish, but I tried to have fun while working on it.

Citrus Incense Holders

For a while now, I’ve been wanting to get into incense burning. Something about crafting a mindful, creative, and spiritual space is something I‘ve been craving. Especially now, during this time of quarantine and distancing.

Which is when I created myself some cute incense holders – during this time of quarantine.

Dog Portrait On Wood

This 2020 is bringing the crafty witch out in me. I was commissioned to do this pet portrait by a friend of her precious baby girl that passed away. Jessie was fierce but also a big mush. Forget those pitbull stereotypes.

Anywho, I love working on wood, and I had all intentions of painting this portrait, but I decided to take a different route after I sketched everything out.

Handmade Beaded Drop Hoop Earrings

I was going through my jewelry one day and came across this pair of crochet hoops. I wore it to work the next day and got quite a number of compliments. I always wanted to get into hoop earrings, but I always want some fun earrings as well. I felt encouraged after getting the thumbs up from people that see me everyday.

Thinking about the supplies I own, I attempted to make my own pair of funky hoop earrings. And these were completely cost-free because I already had everything I needed.

Sun Room Canvas Art

Ever browse too far up in the photos on your phone, and you spot a picture that makes you go like “oh yeaaah, I remember that!”? That’s how I came across these photos from this project I did before the holidays last year.

My parents moved into their current home last summer, and they’ve done a wonderful job at making it feeling homey even though it’s a super fresh house. It’s become a super comfortable getaway when I want to escape from city life.

This To That // Beaded Crop Top Tee

This year, I’ve taken an unintentional break from crafting. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve still worked on a project here and there, but the ideas have been piling up without much execution. I got hit with the craft bug within the last month and decided to go digging through my “unfinished” pile of half-worked-on clothes. In my pile was this shirt I started like two years ago, but the frustrating thing was that it was 90% done. If I spent a few more hours on it, it could have been finished. So I spent those few hours and busted through.

Birthday Gift Wrapping

It was my friend Gabby’s birthday early in November. I don’t know what exactly sparked me to partake in getting into the mode of making her birthday present pretty.

Well, I kinda do know. I took a trip to a stationery store in Montclair, New Jersey called Parcel and it got me hyped. Their embellishment packs, stamps, vintage paper, and all the variety of goods really made me feel like I needed to step up my gift wrapping game. This was my first attempt at it and it makes me all ready to go wild and crazy for wrapping Christmas presents.
