Since it’s apparently taking seven days (!) for a piece of first class mail to get from her city to the neighboring one (35 miles away), Chick figured that if she’s going to make any Valentines this year she better get a move on.

How much of the candy actually ends up on the house and how much gets eaten along the way?

When not filming art teachers’ instructional videos at the Museum this week, Chick could be found beak to laptop in every part of the house madly video editing and creating instructional drawings in Adobe Illustrator (which might be her new favorite thing, by the by.) Her eyes are bleary, and there’s still more to finalize by midweek in time for summer “camps,” but she’s proud of what she’s created.

Chick is a pretty humble bird most days, but I convinced her that people enjoy seeing her and she could share her interest in making things by selling kits to people who wanted to sew their own little green chick figurine. The possibility for sewing and getting others interested in sewing helped her get past making a modified likeness. Stay tuned for the new shop announcement.

Among the things that are different during pandemic life: Chick has started cooking lunch.

When she learned to sew, it was to make clothes or napkins or curtains—even dolls. The thought never crossed her mind that she’d ever make a beak mask to wear out in public.

One of the little things that makes Chick happy is ordering nice stamps from the post office. She doesn’t understand why people would buy a roll of plain stamps when for the same exact price you can have wonderful varieties of stamp art.

Chick has cut some really cool envelope blanks from old magazine pictures; the next step is to fold them.
