Welcome to Auggie Froggy
What I've been working on
Shades of pink (and one yellow) wool blend felt to see which colors I like best for cherry blossom wands.
Yesterday we went to Calvert Cliffs State Park with Auggie’s friends. We hiked almost 2 miles through the woods where we saw beaver dams and turtles. The beach is known for Miocene era fossils which wash out of the cliffs. We found some fossilized shells, some shell imprints in stone and other cool things. Hurray for fresh air and time in nature!
@joannehawker has posted the prompts for this year’s #marchmeetthemaker. I’ll be participating again to share some different aspects of my maker story than what I usually share. Check out her page for more details if you want to join in too.

Happy birthday to my sweet Auggie who has brought a whirlwind of creativity and silliness and joy into my life. (In case you were wondering, we only frosted half the cake because Auggie is the one who likes it, so he has plenty but we can have cake too).
Ever since I was a little kid I always organized things in rainbow order. Colored pencils, markers, paints and on. I keep my thread in rainbow sequence. It makes me happy and I can find what I'm looking for easily. I bought a new set of acrylic paints today, and now they're perfect.

These real blossoms are a bit early, but my cherry blossom wands are arriving right on time! Available at @shopmadeindc at the Wharf and Georgetown right now…with more on the way! #madeinDC #cherryblossom #cherryblossomfestival #dccherryblossoms #springtimeiscoming
Why do I use biodegradable glitter? Because I don't want to add more microplastics to our waterways and their inhabitants when I clean up. The glitter I use is made of eucalyptus fiber which is just as sparkly as the plastic stuff except that it breaks down safely. I use @ecosparkles_bioglitter and @culturehustle. They are definitely more expensive than plastic glitter, but they are easy to work with and a little goes a long way. #ecoglitter #microplastics #stuartsemple #madeindc #cleanrivers #potomacriver #anacostiariver #chesapeakebay #watershed
