I am building my art studio. I've been painting in nooks and corners of my home for so long, finally, I got a separate room for my studio. It feels amazing.

I'm currently making a junk journal as a gift for my mom :)

I'm working on a crocheted amigurumi mobile for my new niece and a counted cross stitch dragon for my husband. I can never just do one craft at a time :lol:

Our family does a Sewing Day in October, (as well as in May) and I'm working on a project for that. This will be for the "ugly fabric" project. It's a thing we do where one person chooses an "ugly" fabric, we each get a piece, and create something involving it. We draw names and gift the results.

I am currently experimenting with candles as I want to create personalized candles, but I am struggling with the concept of how to make my own molds. I know I will get here, just need to find the right ingredients to work for what I want to make.

This is such a fun thread! I recently finished painting a set of 3 canvases that are kind of abstract, but each one has a different F1 car on it. I did one of Red Bull, Ferrari, and Mercedes. It's a present for my boyfriend's birthday coming up! I've only ever done paintings for friends and family as gifts, but I'm kind of toying with the idea of starting a little Etsy shop to have another source of income on the side.

Since the holidays are coming up, I just started planning to learn some candle/soap making. I'm excited! Though it's turning out a bit more pricey than I thought- most of my hobbies are haha. I look forward to making these gifts though :D

Currently I am working on perfecting my noodles recipe. I am trying to incorporate Thai's 4 must have flavors: sweet, spicy, sour, and salty, in the right proportion.
Today's me is better than yesterday's me.

I have an old bookcase that I am busy renovating. It needs to be sanded down and stained with dark wood color. Still need to decide where I want to mount the bookcase! I want it somewhere in the living room where the kids can’t reach it. The bookcase is mainly for my Stephen King collection, I also ordered a couple of second-hand books online. I cannot wait for it to be finished!

I'm not working on any crafty thing at the moment. But just a few days ago, I thought about making an artwork with nails, yarns and a plywood. I'm going to draw out my figure, say a lion. Then I'll hit my mini nails on the outline of the figure, sort of like tracing the outline. Then, I'll proceed to filling the inside of the figure with nails. Afterwards, I'll run my yellow and brown yarns over the nail to get my complete artwork.
