Finished! #embroidery #halloween https://www.instagram.com/p/CG3iOxxgnpS/?igshid=1teei8pxz7fv5

Finally, after years, painted this little desk. It’s so cute now! It is going to be my writing desk. https://www.instagram.com/p/CGu6NFlAu-U/?igshid=1fb427n4pulws

All the cross stitches are done. Tomorrow I start the beads! #embroidery https://www.instagram.com/p/CGrD7G6g23L/?igshid=1f3bqlac71kdg

There were a lot of cool mushrooms on today’s walk. And one cool one half under the fence here at home. #mushroomsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CGlXgn6gnQ9/?igshid=x6sxontzyja4

New kit underway. I’m really loving stitching on paper right now. #embroidery https://www.instagram.com/p/CGg4XdCgNvC/?igshid=1y1ppmdbiokmv

Finished! So many little beads! I’m ready for the next one. #embroidery #crossstitch https://www.instagram.com/p/CGeST8qAPQF/?igshid=1vc34tlap9zee

Luna never sleeps with her legs stretched out. Except today, so I took advantage of it and got pics of her big fluffy toes. #catsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CGV6XL5AXgU/?igshid=5dsi96al7zlw

An #artjournal page for #halloween. It was meant to follow a lesson on positive intentions but turned to Halloween instead. Everyone who knows me knows this seems right. https://www.instagram.com/p/CGQfeBZgOq7/?igshid=5x2aib41atok

More birthday treasures. Alison Cole’s other masterclass book. More stunning work! #embroidery #embroideryart https://www.instagram.com/p/CGOFrS9g-wl/?igshid=lp6lkpwc9ja0

Someone got a Halloween costume! #catsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CGLcdUZAbLb/?igshid=flmlfjg1hu0n

For the continuing birthday celebrations, a cake from Decadent Creations. https://www.instagram.com/p/CGLT4dvApKI/?igshid=1olc6rtpjowj4

Trying out all the new birthday #artsupplies. https://www.instagram.com/p/CGJEb-hAac-/?igshid=9ncafz1fc9af

I ordered these really cute buttons made from an old comic and got a fun magnet as a gift. (Don’t worry—the comic is damaged;she didn’t destroy a good one.) More decoration for my work bag! https://www.instagram.com/p/CGIxtVagon0/?igshid=19bdp65fidxaq

I wrote a birthday Muse Appeal post about making my own fun. We all should! Link in profile. #MuseAppeal #Creative Life https://www.instagram.com/p/CGGaxgagvX5/?igshid=o5hjwjogoq48

Beads! I’m liking how they look (wasn’t sure I liked them at first). Tomorrow there will be extra tiny ones. #embroidery #beadedembroidery #handstitching https://www.instagram.com/p/CGB2RbigYip/?igshid=1wbvbebvogl65

Over the summer, Luna discovered the joys of snuggling on the bed. She wishes I’d stop making her look at the camera, though. It’s snuggle time, not picture time. #catsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CF_cI5cgvoD/?igshid=oyxr737wmuyp

I decided my work tote was boring, so I’m adding some decorations starting with this little guy. https://www.instagram.com/p/CF-hL7tg2tg/?igshid=14l2bvspt0mc2
