I did my first creative ART collaboration in Togethercraft.online (safe, inclusive #Minecraft server for grown-ups).
A broken red crayon is arranged so that the drawn image looks like it is blasting off from the break. The drawing shows a child flying forward with a cape resembling the Canadian flag and holding a book labeled “Read.”

I had my first "free" Saturday in quite some time, so I went to a local craft fair and found this cool handmade hat. But it was plain, so I crocheted a flower for it, even though I've never crocheted a flower before. I love it! #crochet #handmade #diy #uplift #communitypolls
