Back to my roots

2022 was my 10 year anniversary of leaving my old life. Since Life 2.0 started I have often wondered who I am now. When I first left, I tried so many new things-rock climbing, belly dancing, aerial yoga, fondue. Last year I found myself looking back, wondering if I still loved the things I did before the X years. When […]

Wizard Of Oz

Late last year I was brought onto the College Community Theatre‘s team to be the Costume Designer for Wizard Of Oz. What a whirlwind it was! This was my first job as lead Costume Designer since I graduated PSU. Thankfully I had a fantastic team of volunteers to help me. And woo boy did I need the help. There were […]

Art Shows

It’s been a whirlwind few months! There’s been a lot happening here at Twilly23 HQ. My art has been featured in three art shows this year. My pompom deer above, Cervus Euphoria, is currently on display at Foundry Vineyards in Walla Walla, WA as part of their 2023 Juried Art Show. The show is ongoing and will conclude at the […]

Any extra energy we produce is sent back into the grid to power others in our community. In addition to being made with upcycled materials, Twilly23 products are […]

Cell Phone Bag

My friend Joy asked me to make a small bag for son who wanted a small satchel for his cell phone. I used some acrylic yarn from my stash. This was an improv project though I may write up a pattern for this in the future. Name: Cell Phone Bag Pattern Source: Improv Craft: Knitting Yarn: Stash yarn Needle Size: […]

Corkboard Wall

A version of this tutorial was previously published on Think Crafts! After I made my Wine Cork Corkboard for my office Josh asked if I would make one for our hallway. I decided to make us a full corkboard wall instead! Since I had a larger space I was able to create a more stylized design which includes curves and […]

Creative Mending

My Creative Mending class is my favorite class to teach. Students bring in clothing in various states of disrepair and we find creative ways to fix the problem. Beth brought in this mohair sweater that had multiple moth holes. The pencils are pointing out two holes. I found some mohair woven fabric that coordinated nicely. The class collaborated and we […]

Forest Jewels

My latest handspun was taken off the wheel just as summer was ending. The slightly variegated tones of the green roving remind me of our garden in bloom. The acrylic yarn is some novelty yarn I had in my stash. To me it looks like flowers woven around leaves. This skein was a pleasant spin. Though I tried for consistency, […]
