Me going back over animations from three years earlier in a project, and wondering if I even knew how to animate back then

Been obsessing about the aesthetics of these Kodak blindbox mini digital cameras (that are unfortunately sold out everywhere)
Several small rectangular cameras that look like old fashioned disposable cameras, arrayed in a grid pattern, but facing different directions. Cameras have multiple colors and pattern designs, ranging from black with rainbows to strong use of the primary red, blue, and yellow colors Promotional photo of digital kodak camera box in the style of the original 1987 disposable camera, with matching insert ad in the same retro styling. Laid out on the right are the newer camera, a keychain hook, a rolled up usb cord, and a collector's card featuring an illustrated version of the camera

Spent the last week at a work retreat that my remote studio does once a year. We had an art table set up, and, while I have drawn nothing all year, the energy of artists coming together is powerful; art block destroyed

I have yet to be able to go to either Yellowstone or Grand Tetons NP, but I seriously lucked out today when my flight passed right over these beauts right at sunset. My first time seeing them in person

Going to Disneyland for the first time in 30 years in a few months, and I really want to collect these cards for the 70th while I'm there, but they are not worth spending $40 on a magicband+ to do so. Any chance any mutuals have a band they'd be okay lending out? 👀
Five different cards made to look like olde timey tickets for different opening-day Disneyland rides

The Katmai Brook Falls cams went up yesterday (www.youtube.com/watch?v=73-E...), and I wasn't expecting to see any bears just yet, so I haven't been watching much
BUT I just checked and the very first bear I see is our QUEEN 👑🐻
Happy to see Grazer and coy after the long winter

Might be too late this close to summer for ground cover seeds, so, for helping with dogs and mud, getting raised outdoor dog beds could be a good idea

I've sewn off and on over the years, but only for one-off projects; and I never really knew what I was doing
Trying to self-teach myself now by following tutorials. Started with this four-plush tutorial using some cheap felt I bought in bulk for practice purposes
Photo of four small plushies in a line on a wooden table with a white sewing machine behind them. The plushes are made of tan and blue fabric with embroidered eyes. From left to right the plushes are a cat, dog, penguin, and dragon
