Ive opened my Etsy shop!!!! I don’t have everything listed in it yet, but there are a few owls and images already.There are a few more images + some bear hats to add!

I’m hoping to start making some fall things to sell. I guess the bear hats are fall-ish. I have been LOVING the cool mornings around here. Sitting by the river in a hoodie at 7 in the morning is without a doubt the best time of the day.

I made this leaf garland a little while ago, (before it started cooling off outside. I like to think my hope influenced the sudden temperature changes).

Making more ‘crafty’ things had been really fun lately. There is a different sort of satisfaction after I create them.  I don’t feel the same pressure as I have when trying to make 2D art. There is other reasons that are more to do with the feel of the material, the seasons, and the emotional, even nostalgic influences, but those aren’t very easily verbally conveyed so I’m not even going to try.  I just wish I could find a way to not have to work somewhere 40 hours a week feeling like I am accomplishing nothing. Unfortunately, my most creatively & productive time of day is early morning through mid-day. Working late into the night and then having to get up at 5:45 every morning isn’t something I can do. This 3 day weekend has been great!

I know it must be fall…. I crave pumpkin spice lattes and have the uncontrollable urge to bake!
