Day 114 – Today I just want to celebrate a toddler’s love of drawing. Stella, 23 mos., holds the pen so precisely and focuses on filling the whole page with marks. I just love watching her. I filled the hearts in her artwork using the Sketches app on my iPhone. (How anyone can draw with any precision using such an app is beyond me.) (Taken with instagram)

Day 113 – Finishing sketches and adding text. I have 5 more pages to design, and as I lay these out I realize how different they really are. Clearly I am a hack. (Taken with instagram)

Day 110 – I thought I’d take it easy today and make a few origami fish with some color cellophane,…which is surprisingly difficult to fold. (Taken with instagram)

Day 108 – One of those days when I am doing more seam ripping than sewing. I put legs on backwards twice and then just took off the tail instead of the backward leg. Arghhh. (Taken with instagram)
