I did a card making table at our CraftLab at the #library. It's such a simple activity but some of the kids will stay and work on their creations for a long time. I love the heart reindeer! #childrenslibrarian #kidscrafts #cards #cardmaking

Another week in my #dailydrawing book. The fire doodles came from a #fridaynightcomics workshop from #sawcomics. The quote is from my sister when we were texting about the flooding we're having locally. My friend made the brownie! #drawing #doodle #sketch #easternwashington #washingtonstate #wordle

Wednesday after #storytime at the #library the kids decorated sweaters! To make it more special, I got out pom poms and sticker dots. Didn't they turn out cute? #childrenslibrarian #kidscrafts #welovestickers #stickers

Random images from last week. It was leftover craft week at the #library. We collaged cardboard shapes on Wednesday and did houses Friday after #storytime. A #sketch of a brownie my friend made for me and my sister's and my #wordle. So close to the same! #childrenslibrarian #drawing #nytgames

A few images from the last week including a thank you for Therapy Dog Spencer, Therapy Dog Roci getting some love, an entree at the Indian restaurant and a little love note I left in the wild. #library #therapydogs #childrenslibrarian #post-itart #post-it #doodle #tinyart

Another week in my #dailydrawing book. Some #doodle, some #sketch & some #swatches. I'm ordering some more of those acrylic gel pens! I read a little blurb that suggested writing a quote in what she called "Craft Fair Font." I remember writing like that a lot in the past. #handdrawnfont #lettering

Some of the kids' creations from fall crafts at the #library yesterday. I had put some directions to go with the crafts but I knew they would combine materials. They always do and it's always spectacular. #kidscrafts #fallcolors #childrenslibrarian

Some of the creations from our #cardboardconstruction program at the #library yesterday. We just put out the #makedo tools and a lot of cardboard and let them create what they want. We added a little duct tape into the mix this time. #childrenslibrarian #noschoolday #creativekids #cardboard

I've been watching #comics workshops online even though I'm (clearly) not a comics artist. Yesterday I watched nature comics with Danica Novgorodoff. We had 5 minutes per panel to try to tell a #nature story. It was nice because I got to relive the experience as I decided what to draw. #drawing

I watched a workshop with @jamarnicholas.bsky.social on comics with empathy. Jamar is an absolute bundle of positive energy and I recommend you take any class you can with him. I drew myself as a child sitting and reading and wondering why people were asking about going outside. #comics #journal

I haven't posted what's going on at the #library for a while. We have a teepee in front of the circ desk for Native American Heritage Month, a wip #display case, Therapy Dog Damien birdied for the first time in a while and Aspen is hearing a story. #therapydogs #falldisplay #displaycase

Last night I did the Personal Petroglyph workshop with @comicsworkshop.bsky.social and it was amazing. These are my glyphs for the different ages of my life. It's interesting because I'm looking for a retirement gig. This was a chance to visualize some possibilities! Thank you! #comics #art #doodle

I went to Dick & Jane's Spot in #Ellensburg yesterday. I feel like it is central Washington's answer back to #Randyland in #Pittsburgh. I should warn you that I took so many pictures. Any encouragement might make me post a bunch more in the comments! #washingtonstate #pnw #publicart #art #daytrip

I went to the Yakima Arboretum for the first time yesterday. It was a beautiful time to go because of the #fallcolors. I picked up a few things to draw but didn't do anything onsite. #yakima #arboretum #YakimaArboretum #nature #washingtonstate

Dinovember crafts after #storytime crafts at the #library this week! I like the one with two eyes! But this eye stickers are pretty fun. I don't blame them! #childrenslibrarian #Dinovember #dinosaurs

Finally finished another week in my #dailydrawing book. Hoping to get caught up. The boxes are an exercise from *Make Sneaky Art* by Nishant Jain. I haven't finished the book but I would already recommend it! #sketch #doodle #naturesketch #drawing #booksky

After #storytime at the #library yesterday, I put out monster shapes, sticker eyes, paper shapes and crayons and colored pencils. Here are some of the #monsters they came up with. The last girl came later and cut 2 monsters and combined them! #childrenslibrarian #kidscrafts #kidscreativity

Some of the drawings from the #drawalong #storytime last night at the #library. I did a couple simple draw and tell stories and then they could choose either a #whiteboard or a #chalkboard to draw on. We ended drawing a monster and a ghost (not pictured) together. #childrenslibrarian #kidsart
