Project Name: Denim Headband Flower
Project Link: N/A
Brief Description: My daughter’s school had a “denim” day for spirit week. She is not a fan of denim clothing, and therefore has very little of it. So I made her this denim flower for her headband. I just cut a strip of some old holey jeans with pinking shears and then sewed it into a flower shape with a gather stitch. Quick and easy and fit the brief. I gifted it to my daughter immediately, and she happily wore it to school.

Project Name: Pumpkin Pie
Project Link: N/A
Brief Description: Pumpkin Pie is yummy. It should not be reserved for Thanksgiving. So I made one to celebrate the start of November. The crust did not go to plan, it is super crunchy ( I was distracted while making it), but it is still delicious.

Project Name: Pumpkin Bread
Project Link: Pumpkin Bread
Brief Description: New neighbors moved in across the street and I wanted to welcome them to the neighborhood, so I made them a mini loaf of pumpkin bread. I made another small loaf for my dad, and a big one for our family to eat for breakfast this week while I was at it.

Project Name: Vegan Pizza Pie
Project Link: N/A
Brief Description: My son and I can no longer have dairy, so we don’t get pizza very often. I decided to make us a treat of a vegan pizza to share. I made the crust with our sourdough starter (named Bob), and made the sauce myself as well. I know pineapple is a controversial pizza topping choice, but I am in the love it camp. I forgot to take a picture when it was fresh, but remembered in the left-overs stage. I typically like vegan pizza better as leftovers anyways, the “cheese” is a strange gloopy mess when warm, so I prefer the texture cold.

Project Name: Bone Crown and Staff
Project Link: Bone Crown and Staff
Brief Description: My daughter wanted a bone crown and staff for her necromancer costume. We 3D printed the skull and crown together, then I painted them with paints for tabletop miniatures to make them look more realistic. She mounted the skull to a stick from our yard and added an LED eye and glitter glue tendrils.

Project Name: Eyeball Jack-o-Lantern
Project Link: N/A
Brief Description: It cooler in my head, but I did my best to carve an eyeball jack-o-lantern for Halloween. There are veins carved in all around the outside. It would probably look better on a white pumpkin, and would definitely look better with the pupil left as solid pumpkin, but at least I had fun making it.
