mixed media journaling + the art of play.

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…

#makenine2021

Jan 15, 2021 | Sonya Cheney

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…

finding my footing in hybrid scrapbooking.

Nov 18, 2020 | Sonya Cheney

I love crafts. It’s a blanket statement because I tend to bounce around from one thing to another: knitting, quilting, cross stitch, and, most recently, watercolor. I love having options when it comes to expressing my creativity and personality, and sometimes I just want the challenge of something new or less frequently tried. But–I also…

a quilted christmas gift.

Jan 25, 2020 | Sonya Cheney

About a year and a half ago now I started learning how to quilt thanks to my friend Lydia, and for this past Christmas I made my third completed quilt as a gift for my friend Katie. One thing I love about quilting is the creative opportunity that it presents. Each quilt that I’ve completed…

favorite books of 2019 mini book.

Jan 11, 2020 | Sonya Cheney

Last summer, I joined rukristin’s Awesome Ladies Project online community to help on my scrapbooking journey, and one of my favorite projects that I’ve done so far as part of the site is her “Best of…” course. It’s quick and simple to fill out the sheets she provides (although choosing favorites isn’t exactly easy), and…

zines, scrapbooking, and storytelling.

Jan 04, 2020 | Sonya Cheney

For months I’ve been obsessed with scrapbooking. It’s on my radar as a possible creative activity for years, since around the time 30 Days of Lists started, but it’s only recently that I’ve finally begun dipping my wallet toes into it, and as I was working on a mini book of my favorite reads from 2019,…

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

A moment please for this gorgeous LOTR yarn from @ A moment please for this gorgeous LOTR yarn from @longdogyarn. I really had to reign myself in for this collection, so it was so, so hard to choose just one color for a project, but the way I said, "Ohhhhhhhh!" and could feel myself light up after opening the package means I made the perfect choice. (And I'm just such a sucker for anything inspired by Eowyn's "I am no man!")
