Libraries were so dangerous! Too many interesting things to read! ✨

Ah, yes...when I used to do all the research and write the 20 page paper the night before it was due. Because when I went to the library to do research in advance I'd just read unrelated books. 😂

Thought I'd make myself a cute little ghost pillow, but I'm not even done stuffing it and I think it has been claimed. 🧶 #dogsofbluesky

I have about a million things to do today, but all I want to do is work on this. 🧶

It has come a long way from it's wire beginnings! But now a break while I figure out what comes next. 🧶

A polymer clay peacock in progress, standing on the edge of a teacup with its tail spreading over the oversized saucer. Tail feathers are filled in, the rest of the peacock form is plain blue. Teacup filled with green clay.

I was nervous about this collection cause I didn’t feel very competent at spooky scary stuff. Then Hillary was like you’re being ridiculous and posted a lot of my stuff. So this is me, trying to be proud of stretching myself a bit.
