While creating this piece, a thought came into my mind that I think is a perfect title: "I CAN'T WATCH THIS ANYMORE".

See comments for more details about the meaning.

Mixed media painting. The viewer is inside a monster's mouth watching a red monster with a chef-like hat dressed in black.

I cleaned and oiled and finally set this up to sew today. It sews like a dream!!
I bought this last year from a son cleaning out his mother’s house after she transitioned. You can tell it was a precious possession as she had carved her drivers license number into the shiny black surface.

View of the RenCen from the Riverwalk on a sparkling fall day. Can just barely see the new Gordie Howe Bridge way in the background past the Ambassador Bridge.

#SewAndTell Week 7 - Scary
My entry for this week’s sewing prompt game

I cut an old windbreaker up
3 years ago intending to make some kind of zippered bag, but then I couldn’t figure out how to move forward, so I packed it away. Finally got brave enough to pull it out and finish it up.

Was thrilled to see the newly installed Almagam (Origin) a 26 foot tall bronze sculpture by Nick Cave at Frederik Meijer Gardens, it’s stunning, I think one of their best pieces.
Large bronze sculpture of tole covered human figure with branches filled with birds in place of a head.

I have heard so much about people loving the Lane Pants pattern, I decided to try it for myself. I made these from a repurposed linen duvet, and wore them out in public today at a botanical garden. I had 3 people come up and compliment me on my pants over the course of my visit!

My entry for Sew and Tell week 2, summer: this summer dress is an upcycle from a maxi skirt with a wide fold over waistband, I love the color, the soft fabric but never wore it. Now it’s a cute and very comfy knee length sleeveless dress.

I like prompt games like #showmeyourknits and #crochetaway,
but I'm missing one for #sewing. So I'm starting my own game.
Let's #sewandtell 🧵
For the first week, we start with something first.
Can be your very frist sewing or maybe the first time you mastered a difficult technic ...
