I'll take it!

This one pops into my head pretty regularly, as a fiber arts person. 😄
Screenshot of a tumblr post: OP, sleepycatmama: One should always have at least 2 craft projects going. That way, when one of them is messed up and misbehaving, you can switch to another, and let the first one sit there and think about what it's done. reply from capricorn-omnikorn: Sometimes (oftentimes), when a creative project is "misbehaving," it's because it is tired, and overstimulated, and just needs a time out to rest -- like toddlers often need. And sometime, you should give your creative projects time to talk to each other, as well as to you. Reply from nydescynt: Instructions unclear; my 17 ongoing crafte projects have unionized against me.

Trekkies, if you see this, post your first experience with Star Trek.

Back in the late 90s, I read my first copy of this book so many times the spine broke. Nowadays I have spare copies!

Felt like making some art this weekend, figured I'd share!
A pen drawing of lots and lots of little lines. Four circle arc through the image, filled with geode-like patterns in different colors. Another pen drawing of a bunch of lines! The left half is straight lines horizontally and vertically in shades of pink. The right half is wavy lines in a gradient from yellow to dark green.

My favorite set of pages from my current sketchbook! #Art
A pair of sketchbook pages, filled with doodle done with lots and lots of small lines. They are mostly in black ink, with chunks of each page in colors like orange, purple, pjnk, and blue.

Felt like making something fun, given everything - made myself a throw blanket. It is very cozy and obnoxiously colored, and that makes me happy!
#crochet #fiberarts
Photo of a crocheted throw blanket. It is made of textured squares in a random pattern, with one side being more black squares than colored. The colored squares are neon yellow, neon salmon, and a sapphire blue.

photo of early morning sun and clouds over a neighborhood. They clouds cover the sun, and look almost like pillow stuffing.

Yeah, ok. I'll take it!

Yesterday's morning walk, from the top of an observation tower.
photo of a river cutting through the trees from up high. The trees have no leaves. A walking path snakes between them on the left, following the river. They sky above is very cloudy, but blue peaks through in a few places.

I should really travel more! Especially out west.
graphic of the united states with colored in states indicating which have been lived in or visited. Most of the colored states are yellow, meaning they have been visited. Most of the country is not filled in, because I just don't travel that much.

Took forever, but finally finished this cross stitch project I found on etsy for my mom of the aurora borealis! #ArtAdventCalendar #CrossStitch #FiberArt
A cross stitch project of the aurora borealis in a plain wood hoop. It is a field of siwlring blues, purples, and pinks over a dark forest and lake.

Another doodle, this one done with markers. I was feeling purpley that day! #ArtAdventCalendar
A marker doodle of a page filled with purple and yellow lines. The yellow lines are in the center as a sort of wavy river shape, bordered by very heavy purple. The rest of the page is purple lines expanding outward from the middle.

Went for a walk before work this morning and had a good chuckle at whichever mischevious soul stuck a couple of target shopping carts out on the ice. 😄 #morningwalk
photo of a pond, lined by trees along the far side. The sky above is clear blue. The pond is a fozen just enough that a target shopping cart is sitting on the ice, in the middle of the pond at one end. Another shopping cart can just barely be seen in the middle of the pond at its other end.

Once I realized I'd be doodling a lot at my job, I started getting the brown moleskines so I could draw on the covers too! This is the front cover of my second work notebook. #ArtAdventCalendar
A pen drawing on the cover of a brown moleskine sketchbook. The top half or so is mostly wavy stripes, alternating between the plain cover and stripes filled with more, smaller stripes. The bottom is vertically arranged and the little lines sort of suggest library shelves.

Photo from a morning walk a couple of days ago. I thought it was cool how the ice on the water was mostly clear except for the stronger swoosh in the middle!
#ArtAdventCalendar
photo of a pond in early morning. The sky is pale grey and cloudy, with the sun just peaking through above a row of trees along the horizon. The pond in front of the trees is slightly frozen along it's top, and the bottom of the image is a clump of tall grass.

Another pen doodle, this time on a little 3.5" square page.
#ArtAdventCalendar
Black and white pen doodle of a square split diagonally. The bottom left half is filled with curvy stripes which are themselves filled with various patterns made entirely of small lines. The top right half is of stripes running perpendicular to the bottom left. The stripes alternate between plain white and darker ones made of more small lines.

Photo I took this summer while out fossil hunting with my mom. Loved the shape the clouds made with their absence in the middle!
#ArtAdventCalendar
Photo mostly of the sky, with a dirt path along the bottom lined with tall grass. Trees can be seen over the grass in the distance. Clouds cover most of the image, except for a small circle in the upper middle where blue sky is visible.

I do a lot of doodling at work while I'm waiting for our program to work, figured I'd share!
Doodles filling a page with alternating chevron and colored lines. The lines start purple on the left and become yellow toward the right. The chevrons start orange on the left, and end blue on the right.

Late post but oh well! Went over to the lake today for my morning walk. Couldn't see much of the sunrise, but it was beautiful all the same! #morningwalk
Photo of Lake Michigan at sunrise. The sky is filled with clouds, but pink and yellow light peak through along the horizon above a grey field of water. The beach is visible angling along the bottom right.

The clouds above me on my morning walk today! Beautiful as ever!
A photos of clouds directly overhead the viewer. They are light and wispy against a deep blue sky.

Went hiking at Starved Rock this morning, absolutely gorgeous!
#morningwalk

Late sunrise over a treeline. The sky is a medium blue at the top of the image fading to a lighter blue at the treeline, which is black. The sky is filled with lots of small clouds.

Y'all, the sky is very pretty. I just wanted to share.
A photo of a pond and a blue sky in the summer. There are large, fluffy white clouds in the sky, and a row of trees apong the far side of the pond.
