Finished another #commission! Design by GrandmabiltPatterns www.etsy.com/listing/1405...

My intention was to keep count of stitches fastidiously to not make mistakes. I committed and it turned out beautifully! #smArtist

I am not a fan of greige or dressing babies in only classic colors 😂 But I also want to cater to the general market…🤷🏻‍♀️ This onesie is my style!

First time designing anything! Not totally from scratch; massively inspired to match the Elodie Romper by Mon Petit Violon. Foray into future collection of matching baby and dog outfits for a craft fair or market booth #goal #crochet #yarnaddict #commission #forsale #kofi ko-fi.com/kacart

First time making this dog poncho from Heart Hook Home. Made for my bro in laws dog who likes clothes and is small enough that the project held my patience 🤣

Finished for my lactation consultant friend! Very fun #commission 😊

Dark brown one follows the free pattern from amigurinos.wordpress.com/2024/04/02/f...

Other two I altered that pattern. Proud of myself for the edits; one day maybe I can design my own things!

1st official commission completed! Received requested (predicted) measurements accounting for growth. Did gauge swatches and a lot of math before choosing pattern, hook, and yarn sizes. Ended up EXACTLY the size I intended! So happy. Design by Mon Petit Violon. #CROCHET #Commissions open! #forsale

Been thinking a lot about time; when it passes quickly, slowly, and both simultaneously. June’s #smArtist #art #artchallenge prompts are inspired by timeless biological concepts. Be specific or broad with your interpretations and share your thoughts! Would 💚 to see #traditionalart & #photography!

Hi Bluesky!
Now offering #affordable #commissions! I struggle with “the blank page” and love #prompts and constraints to box me in (hence #smArtist challenge!). I’m VERY excited about projects I’m working on (both paid & gifts). Officially open for #business! #crochet #painting #forsale #watercolor

First time non family member bought me #yarn to make them something!

I’m so in love with my new daughter I can’t wrap my head around getting in the zone to paint; I am up to crocheting though! I have three projects planned, one being my first true commission piece! Very exciting. I can crochet AND cuddle simultaneously hehehe 🤭 #crochet #newborn #commission #forsale

The yucca plant survives in harsh conditions. I was surprised and happy to find out some varietals’ flowers are called palm lilies; another lily to add to my fav flowers!
