Little by little my space is getting put together. After moving in last June, it’s taken some time to figure out the best way to organize things. Art supplies should have a place to live, but also be easily accessible when needed.

My list of ideas and projects continues to grow, and I’m excited to work on some things! I’ve been playing with yarn this week, making a handful of small crocheted trees. I’m not using a pattern, just experimenting with different stitches and yarn and creating some awkward but cute little cone trees.

Keeping my hands busy outside of my day job is a good thing. It calms that odd restlessness that sometimes sits on my shoulders as I struggle to start a larger project. These small crochet experiments are a good starting point! I have more squares of watercolor paper cut out as well, ready for more small sketches like the one above. These three-ish inch squares are great for a quick and loose painting that doesn’t overwhelm, but can still be worthy of framing!

I’m not looking for perfection, I’m learning for improvement!

I’m not looking to have everything “just so”, but am working on making things workable.

Little steps forward are still steps!

Practice makes progress. And I am definitely a work in progress!
