We’re SO excited for Camp Craftaway! You can try so many fun #crafts over one weekend. You’ll definitely pick up a new hobby (or two or three).

Moles are so cute! I embroidered this one for week 30 of my 52 Weeks to Ms. Frizzle project, where I’m stitching a new animal on the same upcycled dress for every week of a year.

I’ve been working on this bat hat for a while. It started by dyeing an off-white hat with indigo. Now, I’m enhancing it with #embroidery!

Iyo Okumi’s embroideries remind me of pen drawings. Each stitched line is like a hatch mark! www.brwnpaperbag.com/iyo-okumi-li...

Pauline keeps a watchful eye over me while I’m stitching and editing video!

Love it! I'll be vending there too. It should be a fun weekend!

I loved playing katamari!! I'll check that one out!

What are some early 2000s video game soundtracks that you love? I find it's easier to focus when I listen to The Sims original video game soundtrack when I work

#videogames #y2k #soundtracks

Yeah! I found a Youtube video to get started. I already have the hooks and thread, so I'm ready to go!

I've stitched a fairy armadillo! But not a platypus! That sounds like a fun one

I’ve been stitching wild animals on the same upcycled dress for over 2 years. I’m on 29/52 animal species: an elephant shrew.

The #embroidery is about halfway done. Not sure what animal I’ll stitch next. Any suggestions?
