In honor of Halloween, I’m paying my respects to all the dearly departed hobbies I started this year … and then ghosted. Fortunately, we have some amazing local businesses nearby, ready to bring my creative spirit back to life 🧟

RIP to the box of beautiful herbs and plants I got at the Wasatch Community Gardens’ Plant Sale. I neglected you on my balcony and went on vacation for 10 days, and for that, I am deeply remorseful.

So much yarn, so little time. (Terina Ria/City Cast Salt Lake)

🪦 Knitting/Crocheting | Willow Hill Yarn Company

RIP to my ego for thinking that I could casually knit a baby sweater with zero skill or practice. I quickly discovered I can only produce rectangles and got bored and abandoned the project completely.

Destined to be shorts, forced to remain in my dusty craft box. (Terina Ria/City Cast Salt Lake)

🪦 Sewing | Harmony

RIP to this vibrant blue linen fabric I got at Harmony in Provo. I am mostly sorry to the friend who was supposed to receive blue linen shorts for her birthday. Here’s hoping for next year?

Can you guess which pot is mine? (Terina Ria/City Cast Salt Lake)

🪦 Pottery | Ceramic Supply USA

RIP to that one time I took a pottery class at Ceramic Supply USA and tried my very best. Art is subjective, right?
