    #6 - Becky - 2024 Creative Retrospective
    Dec 24 2024

    This is my first official solo episode and I’m chatting about what worked, what didn’t work and what I’d like to add to my creative practice in the coming year.

    In an attempt to give myself a little space during the busy holiday, this is a short solo episode. I’m taking a note from Carla in episode 2 and evaluating my creative endeavors this year. It was so nice to look back on my hobbies and various projects and really consider how they served me over the course of 2024.

    As promised, here are some photos and resources mentioned in the episode:

    Here’s the charm pack quilt tutorial that Carla suggested I follow: (TW: the creator of this playlist has since passed away, in case you’re sensitive to that right now.)

    My first two bitty quilts:

    The “quilted ornament” tutorial:

    And what I made, plus one of my sequin beauties:

    Lastly, here’s a link to the book The Artist’s Way. Full disclosure, I haven’t finished it and it does mention God quite a bit. I like to replace that terminology with “the universe”, but take what works for you and leave the rest!
