Alien_Sunset 💜 commissions perpetually open 🌈 @aliensunset.bsky.social · Jan 21
Lots of cross stitch and needle arts peeps following lately, hello! Welcome!

My content is all over the place (thanks ADHD) and stitching specific stuff may be few & far between.
I’m also a firehose of boosted randomness, there’s no shame or shade if you need to unfollow 💜

#WTForcast
An iPhone screenshot from the WTForcast app, showing a cartoon landacape at night with scattered clouds it shows the temperature as -8 degrees F. High of 3 and low of -8 feels like -17. The caption says “its fucking disrespectful outside“

#sewing friends!
especially people who sew their own clothes:

I want to sew my own PJ pants

I am plus sized & have a large bottom. (mens xl ish) these will be 100% cotton, so no stretch. I like loose & comfy, but not TOO loose or flowy & they MUST have pockets.

what are your favorite patterns?

One of the games that we picked up on Steam recently was Oxygen Not Included. I don't remember where the recommendation came from, but it looked interesting, so why not?

I played a bit last night and got totally sucked in

my best description is like The Sims, but sillier, and way more complicated

tempted to do one of those #ArtVsArtist or 2025 year in #art review type posts, but feeling WAAAAYYY too lazy to put together a good graphic for it

(also, not actually going to post a picture of myself, don't get me wrong; i like the way I look, but prefer the illusion of mystery and anonymity)
