Genevieve, the Crafter

Genevieve landed her first paid job doing a bullet journal for a friend of hers who wanted a pretty journal, but didn't want or think she could do one herself.  She really is getting very good at this whole hand-lettering thing.  She's been working on adding in watercolor to her pieces.  Here are some samples of her work.




Genna loves loves Luna, our newish dog, but she still misses and morns her bird, Hyacinth.  We passed some Hyacinth bulbs at the store last fall and she planted them in our front bed where the floundering rose bushes are.  It was so exciting for her when they came up in February (Hey, it's Texas!) and she bough this bird banner too.


She also used Hyacinth's cage cover to make a memory pillow.  That fabric is on the trim and the back of this pillow.  She hand drew this picture and transferred it on white fabric.  Then she embroidered it all by herself.  Yay!  I always worried that my children wouldn't be artistic because all my first attempts at teaching them various arts did not go well, but I guess I didn't need to worry about that after all.
