I'm working on the dollhouse kitchen today. Countertops and cupboards are now under construction. ✏📏📐✂🛠 You know what's awesome about being a creative, being a maker? That a person can do anything, make anything, fix what needs to be fixed. And have the empowerment to solve problems or puzzles, even when they require another person's help or expertise. I have friends that can create amazing things with the mediums they have chosen to express themselves with. Be that expression come through painting, needle arts, coding, building, paperarts, whatever it is, we are makers, artists, doers, and crafters. There really isn't a distinction. When it comes to self-expression, we are all part of a larger community that should embrace all of our differences. We can't afford to be elitists and exclusionary because its those innovators and dreamers that can and will push us and help us to become the best we can be. So to all my creatives: I love you all and thank you for inspiring me every day!❤ #craftymama #makerdreamerdoer #agdollhouse #agig #altagig #ogdolls

I know this is a dog toy, but doesn't it look like a perfect over-stuffed recliner for the mini dolls?! #targettakemymoney #minidolls #agig #altagig #joytoeverygirl #agdollhouse #craftymama #ogdolls

In 2011, I made a glorious queen-size quilt for my first apartment with my then-fiance. It was a big project for a first-time quilter, but it worked out and has made me very happy. And I made a small #lapquilt for my grandmother for Christmas two years ago. I have been promising my mum a handmade quilt for YEARS now, but life kept interrupting, so I put this big project on the back-burner five years ago. I had bought most the fabric I thought I would need to make a simple block quilt with red, white, and blue square repeating pattern, but it ended up in boxes as I moved. Flash forward to two weeks ago. I was rifling through my craft hoard *ahem* stash and found the bag that contained all the fabric!😄 I realized that just simple squares wasn't going to do my work justice or her justice, so I made a plan and decided to sew my first #piecedquilt for her. She served in the Army and was a Field Artillery Officer, back when very few women had any major roles in combat positions. I am proud of her service and wanted to make a "patriotic" quilt for her. So, using the red, white, and blue fabric, I've come up with this! The quilt will initially be sewn on my sewing machine, then #handquilted by me. It'll be perfect as a throw blanket and fits a twin-size bed. I have the first row finished for the #quiltblocks and have 5 more rows to sew. I'm hoping this will be finished in time for her birthday in June🦊❤🎂 #quilt #thirdtimesacharm #piecedquilts #craftymama #makerdreamerdoer #ilovemysewingmachine #sewcrafty #craftsupplyhoarder #fabric #cotton #redwhiteandblue #patrioticquilt #womeninthearmy #fieldartillery #fieldartilleryofficer #womanofficer #powerfulwomen #mymomwearscombatboots
