Jul 22, 2022 | Sonya Cheney

I’m blown away when I think back on how long I’ve been creative and creating, in part because of the simple fact that I’m just so much older, even if I don’t always realize it. I have memory flashes of writing stories in a black and white composition notebook (an image I’ve conjured many times…

are you a good witch or a bad witch?

Jul 21, 2022 | Sonya Cheney

I did the thing. You know, the thing where you get excited about an idea, so you buy supplies to put that idea into action, and then just…don’t. You get busy and forget, or you move onto something else, or you suddenly can’t bring yourself to do it because other people are doing it better…

onward + embracing what might be a futile effort.

Jun 17, 2022 | Sonya Cheney

I saw a post–an Instagram story–earlier today that sparked a feeling of unfamiliarity in myself as I was, of all things, brushing my teeth. It was a pair of people in a park working on zines together, and I found myself wondering where that part of me went over the past few years. I’ve tried…

May 19, 2021 | Sonya Cheney

Mixed media art journaling has become a major part of my life and routine over the past couple of months. I look forward to sitting down at my craft desk at the end of a few days throughout the week and making an absolute mess. A few months ago I managed to get two Jane…

one little word 2021 | february vision board

Feb 26, 2021 | Sonya Cheney

I’m pretty sure the vision board is one of my favorite parts of One Little Word. I love the tactile nature of sitting and flipping through magazines, cutting and pasting the images down. It’s one of those activities that I don’t do often, but when I do, I berate myself for forgetting how much I…

It’s a mystery exactly why I started knitting in high school; I simply don’t remember. The best I Can recall is that I just thought it was neat, so I gave it a try. I do remember that an aunt of mine had taught me years earlier, when I was about seven, but by the…

one little word 2021 | cultivate

Jan 29, 2021 | Sonya Cheney

I started planning my garden in September. Part of it was wanting to make sure I was ahead of the game, but most of it was pure enthusiasm. I couldn’t wait to get started, so I just did. Since then, my crafty brain has basically been split into three parts: knitting, scrapbooking, and gardening. Now…

I only just discovered the Make Nine hashtag at the end of 2020/beginning of 2021, but I was so inspired and intrigued by the posts popping up on my Instagram feed that I couldn’t resist doing my own round up. Picnic Skirt by Gertie Sews // I feel like I’ve had this skirt on my…

Hello there!
I’m Sonya! I like horror movies, knitting, and witchcraft.

Okay, it's August and I only just decided to start Okay, it's August and I only just decided to start using a hobonichi techo avec as a planner journal a la @bybun but I'm okay with this last minute decision. So last night I collaged the cover of the July-December book and listened to @youmustrememberthis during some me time, and I'm still obsessed with how the cover turned out. ๐Ÿ˜
DID I splatter my tablet with white paint in the p DID I splatter my tablet with white paint in the process of this art journal spread? Yeah, obviously. That's half the fun.

But I have another page in my journal ready for words, so mission accomplished.
