I'm thinking of hosting a virtual raffle to raise funds for my local food pantry. So every $5 donated gets 1 ticket. Winner will win a custom pet (or your fave animal) portrait done by me in needle felting😃 I'm excited to try different types of animals too. If I did it, would people be interested?

I've been taking a needle felt animal portrait workshop for a couple weeks because I want to improve my skills at making something more realistic looking. How do you think I did at my fox???? ☺️ It was a lot of fun and definitely challenging but I loved it and wanting to continue trying. 🥰

Look at what I made! My new adventure in crochet continues! I finally cracked open the kit I purchased from the thrift store and started me on this adventure to learn in the first place. This was my first attempt following a pattern in a booklet and not using a video tutorial. My avocado babes 🥺

So in my year of expanding my skills and trying to learn new things (thanks to my library) I took a stippling workshop yesterday. And look at how cute my portrait of Hitchcock turned out! 😍😍😍 I'm honestly amazed at myself 😂

Awwww, look at this gorgeous character art 😍 I absolutely adore it and using it to create stickers. Considering their history with pulling off cons at wedding cons, the "partners in climb" feels perfect 😹
Want one? I'm going to include them in this book's library/preorder campaign—coming soon.

Looking for ARC READERS for my slow burn, small town romance 🥺
Scoundrel, ex-con artist is trying to stay out of trouble and win over the woman who's never trusted him. Will sharing a hotel room and pulling off a con at a wedding convention do the trick or just lead to more trouble?

Yesterday I did the Alpaca (plus one llama) picnic!!! 😍😍😍 Omg, it was one of the most fun experiences we did this summer. There was an expert who gave us a presentation, we saw a one-day-old baby 🥺, we got to feed them, and had a delicious picnic lunch where we found ourselves surrounded. 😂
