Procreate Decorative Border Practice Sketches
Hi everyone! After a long time of practicing and sketching, I finally feel ready to share some of my sketches I made on Procreate! I’ve been working on sketching on Procreate for many months. I used to really enjoy using Procreate, but I forgot most of the settings I used to use and how to activate them. This is the main reason why I decided to take my time using Procreate. It wasn’t a time when I needed to become accustom to using Procreate. It was a time when I needed to relearn how to use Procreate at its fullest! Now, I feel confident to start posting some of the…

Sewing Vogue Pattern V2004: The Fashion Fabric & Lining Fabric
Hi everyone! It’s time for a new post in my series about how I made Vogue Pattern V2004! This time, I will be talking about the fabric I choose for the outer/fashion fabric and the lining fabric. By the time this post is published, the dress is already completed! The reasons why I decided to delay posts about making it in a more realistic time is due to the fact I had some fit problems with the bodice. I know what went wrong and how to fix it, but I needed time to focus on it instead of writing posts about the dress in real time. I will go into…

Spring Cactus Blossom Part 4- Spring 2023
Hi everyone! This is the last post I took of the Engelmann’s Hedgehog Cactus blossoms for 2023! While on a walk in spring 2023, I saw two Hedgehog Cacti in bloom. I didn’t notice them before, so I decided to take photographs of them. I needed to take the photographs at a distance because the area was on a part of property my relative owns but is fenced in. I couldn’t get into the fenced in area to take close up photographs of the cacti, so I used my telephoto lens on my Cannon Rebel T7 to take photographs of them.

New Sewing Project! Sewing Vogue Pattern V2004
Hi everyone! It’s been a few years since I wrote a series of posts about sewing clothing. I used to do this a lot for the costumes I made. Today, I prefer to make my own clothes instead of costumes! Since I shifted my attention to sewing clothing for myself, I decided to document my process of making clothing in blog posts. The piece of clothing I decided to make is a summer dress using Vogue Pattern’s V2004. I planned on making this pattern for an Easter dress, but the physical pattern didn’t arrive until after Easter. I decided to use cotton sateen fabric to make view A (AKA the…

Spring Cactus Blossom Close Up Part 3- Spring 2023
Hi everyone! Today’s post are of close up photographs I took of the Engelmann’s Hedgehog Cactus. I took these photographs in Spring 2023. I was happy to see so many cacti blooming that I happily took many photographs of the blossoms. Some of the photographs I took of the blossoms are close ups. This is the last of three posts featuring the close up photographs of the blossoms. I have one post left of the Hedgehog Cactus photographs, which will be out next week. Then I will move onto posting other photographs I took both in Spring 2023 and throughout the rest of the year.

Spring Cactus Blossom Close Up Part 2- Spring 2023
Hi everyone! I needed to take a break from posting for Easter and to focus on things that were going on in my life at that time. Even though it is April, I haven’t found any cactus that have blossomed. The ones I am the most focused on taking photographs of is the Engelmann’s Hedgehog Cactus (Echinocereus Engelmannii). Usually these cacti will bloom this month, but I have yet to find any that have bloomed. Even though I haven’t taken photographs of this year’s blooms like I planned, I still have photographs I took from last year. In this post are close ups of a hedgehog cactus that bloomed last…
