First cap : stage 2

Just need to add the ear flaps! As I wrapped up the lighter pink, I tried the hat on Little Mac's head. Too small. Oh well- it'll make a cute gift and I had a great time practicing :-)

And so it begins - the first baby cap

A little unstable and imperfect - like me - but definitely a beautiful first attempt! I'll probably finish it over the weekend if I have time! The pattern is the second video in my last post.

I've got a brighter pink and a white to make a stripe and accent before adding the ear flaps!
Excited!

Two beanies I'd love to make- one with ear flaps! Aspiration knows no limits.

The Princess of Brainfarts and Under-finished Side Projects

As a graphic designer, I live in my computer way too much. I still work a lot with printed material but while paper is extremely satisfying, there's something about the rhythm, motion, and therapeutic nature of hand making works of art. I've readopted my love of handmade exercises and projects since losing time for them some ten years ago when I went to college then got a job then got married and now have a kid. I'm excited to share all of my ideas and ambitions for future unfinished projects here! Truly, some of the best times are had on the journey regardless of making it to the destination. I'm getting better at losing weight and I'm totally starting to love being in my late twenties. I enjoy almost every minute of my attention deficit and daily battle to feel accomplished as an artist, wife, and full-time working mother of an infant. I take comfort in assuming you understand.

For the projects I actually finish, there will be much documentation and fanfare! If you finish a project, I'd love to showcase it for you. I live for with my camera and enjoy keeping historical records of entertaining events, however mundane they may immediately appear.

Losing a frowning contest with my baby.

My new roommate that I want to finish projects for.

Without further ado, I'm off to find something creative to procrastinate about. Well, maybe I'll do that later.

Sincerely,
