These are the designs for a heart ornament project that I am working on. I'm trying to decide on the best way to connect a smaller heart and a larger heart. I have to experiment with some blank hearts so I don't mess up the ones that I've already decorated. I've got so many projects going at once that I have to keep a check list to try to keep everything straight.

I am currently working on a mirror project. I've created two design choices but I need to finalize seam cover designs. The photograph is of one of the designs. I will be experimenting with different color choices.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. The photo is of a clock project that I am working on. I am experimenting on this design with a few different colors.

I don't always post here because I am so busy working on the skills I need to develop good content and I can tell you that I am definitely getting there. What I post is only a fraction of what I am doing. I am lucky I have my son to work with in creating photos, shot films, and animations. There is only so much time in the day to try and do everything well by yourself. The photo is an example of a coaster project that I created.

Recently, I've been working on several projects at once. One is how can I successfully tell short visual stories about the topics that I intend to write about in a blog. To that end, I hope to use photos, short video clips, and animation. This dragon is one of the assets that I've draw and hope to animate in a short video about the Chinese Lantern Festival held here in Philadelphia from May to June. If you find this post and you are working on creating an online business, I'd enjoy hearing about what you are working on.

These are some designs that I am experimenting with to use for a mosaic brooch projected that I am working on. The designs were inspired by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, a Scottish architect and designer. I will be creating some to see if they turn out as I imagined. If not, I'll have to make adjustments. When they are finalized, my son and I will make a short instructional video. Our efforts are improving. We've completed the video for the bird mobile project.

Here is an example of a completed bird project. The photos that I post here are ones that I take with my cell phone. The photos that my son takes with his camera are of a much higher quality. If you just read my posts here, you will not really have any idea of what I've been working on. Short films, animations, still photographs, research for blog posts- so many things to do that I don't have much time to write about everything. Also, my allergies are finally getting better after a few months of suffering, so I have a lot to catch up with.

I've been working on a free project today. This is a pattern for the prototype. I hope to film the instructional video with my son this weekend. My allergies have begun to respond to the medicine that I've been taking so I can begin to catch up. I'm trying to get as much of the filming and photography done before it gets too hot in July and August. Then I'll concentrate on doing research and writing blogs.

These are the two lucky cats I've created for a holiday animation that I am working on. I'm working on so many different projects, research for future blog posts, stylizing photos, creating animations, free projects and short films, that I haven't had time to take photos to post. If you are working on creating an online business, I love to hear what you are doing.

I'd like to share these beautiful butterflies I've found to use as props in the flatlays I've been doing for the blog I intend to write when I launch my website. I found them at the Etsy shop flutter2me. I haven't posted in a few weeks because I've been so busy doing research and creating photos and animations for social media. It doesn't help any that I am a perfectionist and there is so much to learn. I can't afford to pay other people and right now there is only myself and my son working on the films, photos, and animations and since we are both still learning, everything takes a while. But we are making progress.

This is an element for one of the social media animations that my son and I are working on.
