The pandemic found a lot of us creatives with a WHOLE bunch of time on our hands. Over the next few weeks we’re doing a series of posts featuring each of our members. We will be catching up with them and learning about how this pandemic impacted them personally, as well as with their businesses. Today we will be featuring Jill from
What was the best thing you did with your extra time?
I baked LOTS of bread, made pizza with my husband on Friday nights, went for lots of walks with my dog Penny, reorganized my studio, destashed some supplies, and spent many afternoons on Zoom crafting with friends. I also played a LOT of Animal Crossing.
Did you try any new snacks?
YES! I was all about the snacks during quarantine. Hippeas Vegan White Cheddar Chickpea Puffs are my new favorite - I'm addicted. I also indulged in some Canadian favorites; Ruffles All Dressed Chips, Swiss Chalet Sauce & Coffee Crisp bars. Thankfully we had friends who sent us these highly coveted items.
Care to share your favorite podcast?
Right now I'm enjoying The Unsolved Mysteries podcast, The Lisa Congdon Sessions, This American Life, and Beautiful Anonymous.
Did your sleep habits change?
YES. For the first few months I woke up at 2-3am, normally I sleep through the night.
Did you try a new craft or hobby?
I did! I improved my punch needle skills, painted wooden beads & turned them into necklaces (like the one I'm wearing in the photo above). I also crafted some fun wreaths from old ornaments during a holiday crafterzoom's (as we like to call them) with friends Eling () and Leeanna (). I also did some fun collaboration projects with my friend Kelice from Careful It Bites and friends Leeanna and Eling. Some of these items included these kitty coin purses featured above & apple masks and pouches. We had to come up with creative ways to work together from a distance, in some cases we mailed items back and forth, in others, we brought tools outside to work together from a distance.
