Welcome February! Leading off with the second in my series of Akedo figurine sketches. Scary Clown deserves his day in the sun! 🤡 They will total 15 if I sketch the whole collection.
I am an admitted hoarder of art and craft supplies. Being a thrifter for over 40 years, I am bound to run into useful items. My newest hoard category is beads. I did complete one seed bead project last year.
I was pretty sure I had a box of colored pencils in my stash. I found not one box, but two. In addition, there are all full packages of soft pastel and oil pastel crayons, watercolor crayons (who knew there was such a thing), and Twistable Crayola crayons. I don't remember when or where I picked up all of these items.
I have posted about hoarding before in 2021 and 2019
It boils down to being brutal about what you keep for yourself. How much of it do you want to display? I have numerous collections at this point that I keep stored. Those collections include:
Wooden duck decoys
Antique advertising tins
Blue Ball jars
Doll collections
Bing & Grondahl plates
Sewing patterns
There are other items in storage other than my collections. I am still working through the boxes from my mother's estate.
Moving on to seller update - I am in the middle of a sewing pattern listing session. The specialty patterns are from the 1990s through early 2000s. This one is even earlier a knitted jacket pattern from the 1980s.

Cutest of the quilting variety is this 1995 Country Threads Chicken Salad.

Rain is forecast for the next week in Northern California. Gardening will have to be postponed until then.
