7 days ago by craftsanity Today felt a bit like Christmas when a fellow artist hooked me up with a pottery wheel to practice on at home. Today, I tried to throw tiny things while standing on a stool in my kitchen and it went ok. However, I plan to sit for my next throwing session and pick up where I left off. Lol!

6 days ago by craftsanity I just warped the ceramic loom I made in pottery class. Warping my wooden CraftSanity looms is a lot easier, but it will be interesting to see how this turns out. : ) #ceramicweavingloom #weavingloom #loom #weaving #weaver #fiberart #pottery #circularweaving #weavingintheround #craftsanitylooms

The first three will be available for purchase next week, so get ready! : ) #craftsanitysamplers #stitch #stitching #embroidery #fiberart #handprinted #craftsanity #frenchknots #printmaker #embroider #stitchedprints #slowstitches #embroiderysampler #moreofthisplease #travelcraft #ilovethis
5 days ago by craftsanity Here’s another one of the CraftSanity Embroidery samplers that I’m releasing this week. I stitched this on the way to Detroit for the family Easter party. Today was the first time since Christmas that I got to see my parents and sisters. Note to self: Four months is way too long to go without an Ackerman meetup. #craftsanitysamplers #stitch #stitching #embroidery #fiberart #handprinted #craftsanity #frenchknots #printmaker #embroider #stitchedprints #slowstitches #embroiderysampler #moreofthisplease #travelcraft #ilovethis
3 days ago by craftsanity I cannot concentrate on non-art-related things today. I just want to stitch and dream about the next big CraftSanity adventure. While I’m currently struggling a bit to do the things I really need to focus on today, I’m excited about my creative future. : ) Once this sample is stitched, I will be releasing the first three CraftSanity Embroidery samplers. I’m mulling over another potentially huge plan, too. We’ll see how the universe weighs in on that one. #craftsanitysamplers #stitch #stitching #embroidery #fiberart #handprinted #dreambig #craftsanity #procrastination #frenchknots #printmaker #embroider #stitchedprints #slowstitches #embroiderysampler #moreofthisplease
