Making saag - it will simmer away on the stove while I'm outside helping with some spring pruning. House will smell so good, and dinner will be so yummy. . . . . . 🌼 Spring is coming! Couple of nice days in the forecast and then it will be rainy. Need to take advantage of the nice weekend bc we have a lot to clean up outside. . . . . . . . . . . . #tastessogood #smellsogood #treat #makesomething #tracycreative #homemade #homecooking #dinner #cooking #eatingwell #fromthekitchen #food #comforting #madeitmyself #eat #warm #foodie #comfortfood #eater #leftovers #eats #tasty #craving #easy #ingredients #yum #savory https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp-TwjErTgK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Existen varios tipos de soldadura y "flux" (o fundente) aún para el mismo trabajo. La soldadura de Estaño-Plomo es de las más comunes en electrónica. #soytodologo #woodworking #madera #woodworker #computerrepair #laptops #tv #reparaciondecomputadoras #tvrepair #makesomething (en SoyTodólogo.COM) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp28g0TueGg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Some little bags. Essentially an upcycle. Little embroidery musings covering up the logos on these small bags from various advertising freebies. Nice bags so I thought it would be nice to continue to be able to use them. And generally I want to leave no fibre behind, so... another example of me wandering through the various piles in my studio as I attempt to counteract my January sadness and sogginess. If you're also experiencing seasonal depressive episodes, please be gentle with yourself, go slow, give yourself time. Its ok if you don't have it together right now. If you want to stitch together or chat a bit, write me. Really... I mean it! Luv ya! Image: two little fabrics bags lying on a wooden table. The black velvet bag has white fuzzy creatures resembling Miyazaki soot sprites embroidered in white against a blue patch. The white bag has two white fluffy abstract cats embroidered on a blue patch. Around the bag are a small car used as a pincushion with bits of thread on various colors still in the needles, some embroidery thread and pair of gold crane scissors. . . . #MakeSomething #MakeDontBreak #Upclying #TinyJoys #Cats #SootSprites #Embroidery #LeaveNoFibreBehind #SeasonalDepression #SewCrafty #JanuaryDarkness #SewSomeJoy #WitchesWhimsy https://www.instagram.com/p/CnubLRYsE6J/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I made this little bird at pottery class. I have put the glaze on today and it's going back in for firing. It's to go with the birdhouse I made for her birthday but she said it's too good to put outside but it would be ok really so she wanted a little bird to go with it.

Happy Lunar New Year!! This year we welcome in the year of the Rabbit, more specifically, the Water Rabbit. Rabbits are known to be witty, outgoing, well-spoken, creative, empathetic, thoughtful and meditative; the water element of 2023 means this year will bring more introspection, peace and hope into our lives. What else will Rabbit bring? Artistic inspiration! It's a GREAT year to delve into hobbies and crafts that will help instill inner harmony. We happen to think beading is an excellent way to do just that! #lunarnewyear #lunarnewyear2023 #chinesenewyear #chinesenewyear2023 #yearoftherabbit #yearoftherabbit2023 #waterrabbit #chinesezodiac #creativity #makesomething #diyjewelry #diyjewelrymaking #beading #innerharmony #crafting #hope #artisticinspiration #getcrafty #bunny #chineserabbit #chineseart #lunarnewyearnyc #shop #nyc #unionsquare #beadsofparadise https://www.instagram.com/p/CnudO0bIiUM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“In a time of destruction, create something.” ~Maxine Hong Kingston The first time I made a set of Anglican Prayer Beads was at a workshop with the 20s/30s group at Saint John’s Cathedral. When the Cathedral shut down its bookstore, I had a wild hare of an idea to make lots more of them to sell at coffee hour as the fundraiser for the Cathedral’s AIDS Walk team. And from there, I was hooked. Turning little pieces of wire and playing with colors is my place of peace. #adventword #adventword2022 #advent #adventcalendar #episcopal #episcopalian #make #makesomething #prayerbeads @sjcdenver @firemountaingems https://www.instagram.com/p/ClnwFA3uEgm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

New skill unlocked at a quick afternoon class @modulorberlin this week. So fun revisiting an old motif in a new medium. Image: five lino-prints of a resting rabbit in red, yellow and blue, subsequent photos of the process: three-color prints lined up drying on a white table, close-up of the yellow first print, image of yellow printing with lino panel visible in forefront, final image shows lino panel with drawing of rabbit in front, just at start of the cutting process and towards the back my own embroidery motif of same bunny surrounded by plants . . . #NewSkill #LinocutPrint #MakeSomething #MakersGonnaMake #MakeDontBreak #Rabbit #Rest #PrintMaking #LearnSomethingNew #WitchesWhimsy (hier: Berlin, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmSL9jVsjmE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

These two beautiful, vintage folding chairs were in terrible shape, so I rugged them up! Best part is, the cushions are just inserts, so the chairs weren’t damaged at all. . . . . #refurbish #rugfurniture #artfurniture #rugtufting #hudsonvalleyartist #upcycledfurniture #imakerugs #makesomething (at Hudson Valley, NY) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkjcJXCO55U/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
