Creativity and Constraints
So in January I got a little fabric-happy. I had ideas! I was making gremlets! I kept ordering fabric, thinking I was done each time. It was…a lot. So when February hit I decided that it would be a month without buying craft supplies. I had projects in mind anyway,...
Acrostic Jewelry Time!
One day I was browsing antique jewelry on a website, and I came across a REGARD ring. I had no idea what that meant, so I clicked on it to get a closer look and I found out that it was an acrostic ring - one where the first letter...
A Few Hearts!
I set out to make a few hearts as extras for Ko-fi members this month, but somehow I wound up making A LOT of heart stickers. So many hearts, that there will be some hearts thrown into every order this month!
A Short History of Gremlins
Time for a quick history of Whimsy gremlins. It started with the ink monsters back in 2017. After drawing a series of them, I decided I wanted to make a doll version. I started off with felt. It was cute, but I thought it could be better. And I...
Growing Gremlins
If you've followed me for a long time, you've probably seen many gremlins in many styles. I love making weird little creatures. I always have. I've made needle felted ones, felt ones, clay ones...well, if you want a short gremlin timeline, you can check this Twitter thread. Mostly I've kept...
There's a Secret Passageway in this Post
If you follow me on Twitter, you probably saw the weekend-long endeavor of my making a (bigger) miniature library at the end of January. I've made many pocket watch and pendant libraries over the years, but these frames are 5x5 inches, so they feel enormous to me. The project started...
Needle Felted Butterflies
A work conversation about radical hope left me thinking about small projects that could just bring a bit more hope and joy into the world. A quick search of animals that represented hope led me to butterflies, so I decided to start making needle felted butterflies. It's one of the...
Leather Pouches
I'm not sure how I wound up down this particular internet rabbit hole, but recently I spent few hours looking at leather pouches for fountain pens. There are so many of them! They are so pretty! Some are personalized, or in amazing colors, and - well, as I was trying...
Leather Painting
My leather paints came last week, so this weekend my leather crafting got an upgrade. Right now I'm just painting pieces, but these will eventually turn into pen pouches and other things. I've learned a lot since I started sewing leather pieces a few weeks ago, but I still have...
110 Tiny Books
Here's what 110 books for my miniature libraries look like.
And for a sense of scale, here's a tiny book of potions.
Halloween Monster Takeover
About a year ago, I made a monster doll for my soon-to-be baby cousin. It turned out to be one of her favorites, so when I got a text saying: "I'm going to need more of these," I knew there would be more monster dolls in my future. Then I...
Plot Bunnies
Back in July I found myself in need of a project that could be completed quickly. This is something that happens to me a lot while I'm working on a novel draft that's tricky - I just need to work on something that is quick, relaxed, and will remind me...
Cricut + Fabric Spray Paint = Magic
I don't use my Cricut as much as I mean to. When I do, it's usually for vinyl cutting to make a t-shirt or decorate something. I always knew I could use it to make stencils, but I never actually tired it out. It. Is. Awesome.I've been making stencils for...
Welcome Back!
REVISIONS ARE DONE (for now). Anyway, now that that’s out of the way, welcome back! Here’s some of the crafty goodness that took place when you were away: Handmade leather journals Inklings art prints New zoinkies An obscene amount of stickers There have been some new designs that I posted...
Break Time!
Whimsy Station is going dark for a bit. Mostly this is because I'm revising a novel and neglecting the store as a result, so the natural solution is for the store to take a vacation. If all goes as planned, revisions will not eat me Whimsy Station will return in...
Adventures in Needle Felting
If you follow me on Twitter you've probably seen some of these pictures go by. I haven't made too many creatures yet, but so far I love it--aside from the moments when I stab myself.
Time to Paint
It has been forever since I painted. At first it was because I was working on other things - I was writing, sewing word bunnies, and setting up this shop! Then after rearranging furniture and adding two puppies to the family, somehow my easel landed in the basement and my...
Halloween Fun
I fell into the Halloween spirit a bit late, but there's still time. Below you'll find my silly cork-bat activity from last year. I still have one of these little guys on my desk! "I'll find something to do with this." It's a sentence that us crafty types use a lot,...
