Carve a Halloween Pumpkin
Throw a successful pumpkin carving party!! Year 2 is so important in setting up a yearly tradition
Train an experienced barista how to do a rosetta design
Teaching someone the techniques is a little easier when they already have good milk quality. I find the part that every barista that I have taught struggles with, is the cut through at the end. Going to continue working with her and others I train on going quick at the end to avoid a thick stem.
Making a granny square blanket
I like how it looks so far making my first granny square blanket just the beginning.
Crochet a woven heart basket
I sawed the 2 pieces together, added a simple cord and a tassel
Complete a latch hook kit
Most of this progress was made during the first few days of starting the project. I had to take a few weeks off due to my job getting extra busy, as well as a new puppy and other life things. I was also having trouble with my eyesight (dealing with migraines), so I started using sticky notes to follow each row of the pattern. and got my eyes checked (glasses secured). I made time for a few more rows this weekend and I’ll try to do a little each day, if I can.
Make a handmade item for a baby boy
I shouldn’t have committed to finishing on a week day. Although it was almost done, I didn’t have the energy to concentrate on it on a Friday evening.
Make epic latte art
To make latte art
Crochet an elephant
Blanket is added and the project is finished
Complete the irene quilt
Glad to send it off today
Draw in a stylistic way a tennis woman
This was the most enjoyable part of the project. Delving into the details of the drawing, refining the facial features, and continuously composing in the same style is very enriching. I really felt that all the previous steps allowed me to enjoy the drawing; it’s at this final stage that it takes on meaning, and the small details give it substance.
Create something unique
I work without a plan so hock ups along the way are inevitable. In this case they turned out to be the key to making a truly unique piece of clothing.
Draw anatomically accurate people
I've always loved drawing and doodling but never took the steps many artists do to learn anatomy to better their understanding of the human for. I wish to start from scratch and educate myself in the skeletal and muscular systems of the body to enhance my art to the next level.
Finish a short animation of a guy dancing, living his best life.
I am making a short animation that I can post on instagram for a show poster.
Perfect Swan Latte Art
Worked with a lot of baristas who offered me advice on my pours, a culmination of their advice brought me here
Crocheted item for everyone on my holiday list
Very fulfilling to give a handmade gift! A little piece of heart goes into every stitch.
