TWiP: Multi-Crafty ⋆ Polka Dot Cottage

I’m in between big projects at the moment, and this week I’ve found myself drifting from one small thing to another, unable to commit to anything substantial. I knit a shawlette/scarf, I tried weaving on a pin loom, and I dabbled in resin jewelry. And now I have a weekend before me, and I’m not sure how I’ll spend it, creativity-wise. It would be easier if I had a big sweater project on the needles, but I don’t. Maybe I’ll paw through my jewelry box and look for more things I can dribble resin onto 😁

So, what is This Week in Pictures?

It’s a roundup of the microblogging I’ve done on Instagram all week. This includes photos I shot for Project 365 (the theme for 2018 is mornings: #myyearofmornings2018) and any other extra images I may have posted.

Photos taken with 📷 (Canon EOS 80 D) or 📱 (Samsung Galaxy S7).

Ready? Cast your mind back to this time last week…

I got myself a new toy 😊. My first attempt left a lot to be desired, but this second one appears to be going much better. #myyearofmornings Nov 03

I forgot to set the clocks back until after I was already showered and dressed, so now I'm ready to go out with an extra hour to kill. I know just how to spend it: #knitting my #orbitshawl in #thedyeproject #montaradk 😊 #myyearofmornings Nov 04

Last night I found myself with some spare time, so I went in the basement and dug out the resin supplies I had dabbled with in 2010, and added a shiny glob to the top of every last one of the polymer clay studs in my personal collection. I love how they look now! They're still tacky to the touch, though, so I can't wear a pair today 😮 Hope I mixed the resin thoroughly… #myyearofmornings Nov 06

First I voted, and now I finish knitting a small shawl. Hoping both of tonight's projects have pleasing results 🤞

I have a new knit scarf, and a new representative in Congress. And my resin-topped earrings came out great (most of them, anyway). My experience with the bathroom scale notwithstanding, this morning has been a pleasure so far 😁 #myyearofmornings Nov 07

There's a gigantic two-pound bag of Fritos in the kitchen at work, and it's been threatening to sabotage my healthy eating goals all week. If I'm being honest, it has succeeded more than once. #myyearofmornings Nov 08

It feels like a good day for bagels. But then, when doesn't it feel like that? #myyearofmornings Nov 09

These were my favorite polymer clay stud earrings before, but I love them even more now that I plopped a drop of resin on top of them 😍
