On my long list of creative ideas I came up with before this challenge started, there were several ideas that had to do with maps, so I decided to declare this map week. The first one is pretty simple, but also pretty fun: map your route to work or school or anywhere you go on […]
Draw on Grid Paper {Craft Challenge, Day 94}
As a knitter, I sometimes chart patterns on graph paper, but I thought it might be fun to draw on grid paper without having a knitting project in mind. Drawing on girds makes everything square, of course. It’s kind of fun to try to draw a circle. I’ve done a hundred hearts on graph paper, […]
Try a Craft Kit {Craft Challenge, Day 93}
I’ve had this crewel embroidery kit (which is actually still on the market!) sitting in my stash for years. It was one of the crafty goodies from a little meetup I went to with Craft Gossip before I even worked there, so it was a long time ago. I’ve been cleaning and purging craft supplies […]

Make a Cardboard Roll Animal {Craft Challenge, Day 91}

Try Meditation {Craft Challenge, Day 90}

Paint to Music {Craft Challenge, Day 89}
The other day we were listening to music, as we often do on the weekends, and the girl said something about making a drawing that went with the song. It’s a lot of fun to draw, doodle or paint to music, to try to capture the theme of the song or how it makes you […]
