Vlog and Cotton Spooky Kitty Kanzashi Flowers

October 07, 2020 by Thea Starr in Vlog Videos, Shop Update

This week’s vlog was short and sweet. Mostly because I’m learning to edit with Premier Pro. I’m an Adobe Creative Cloud subscriber, so I figured I’d make the switch. But currently, I barely know what I am doing so I kept things short.

As promised, I have a cotton (cotton-poly blend) Spooky Kitty kanzashi available in the shop now! They are single layer flowers unlike the original silk ones. I had to do some searching in my fabric stash to find the right non silk fabric for these. I hope you like what I came up with.

Again, thank you so much for the support with my new items and keep your eyes peeled for more.

Vlog - September 21, 2020

September 22, 2020 by Thea Starr in Vlog Videos

I’m only a day behind this time! This week the most important thing I mention is a farewell to a shop that has supported me since their inception. Momo Seattle is closing their doors after 13 years. If you’ve ever visited Momo, please leave a sweet note on their blog or IG page to say farewell.

I started doing my vlogs for family and friends that I can’t see during this pandemic. I didn’t but a lot of thought into it, I just wanted to utilize a communication avenue that isn’t Facebook. (I’m not a fan.) I’m hoping to change the format of my vlogs very soon. Currently I am just filming everything I do on my iPhone and using iMovie to edit. Super basic stuff. However, with some of the more intricate things I do, I want to have better focus for them. So, in the future I’ll hope to make them a little more polished looking.

With the orange smokey haze gone from the skies, I can return to photographing inventory. I have new pieces and fabrics to share here on my site and my Etsy shop as well. My other company 6 by 6 Arts, has had a little surge of work in the last week. I have to give a bit of attention to that so I’m not sure how fast I’ll have new items listed. As always, feel free to contact me directly if there is something you’re looking for. i most likely have something.

Please take care of yourselves and happy first day of fall! We’re entering my two favorite seasons and I am overjoyed!

Special Vlog - August 17, 2020

August 17, 2020 by Thea Starr in Vlog Videos, Wedding Ideas

So, I apparently forgot to link last week’s vlog here. If you follow the blog, I hope you’ll consider following my revived YouTube channel. I do have a good excuse for forgetting to link last week’s vlog, my eldest daughter got married.

As you might guess from the photo above, there was a few questions about her beautiful dress (with pockets). So, I did a little interview with Jina to answer the common questions about the dress.

Jina’s wedding bouquet. Made from vintage white kimono silk lining and extra fabric from Jina’s wedding dress.

And you know I made my daughter a wedding bouquet too. I hope you’ll check out the video. There will be one more about the wedding. I interviewed Jina and Grant about the long rollercoaster of a ride that they had in making this wedding happen during the era of COVID.

Not a lot of exciting stuff this past week. Just grinding away at projects. Watching hot air balloons from our yard and getting weeping about how proud I am of a friend who has worked really hard to achieve something awesome.

No new craft videos this week, you’ll soon see why.

Take care - xoxo Thea
