Because I keep stabbing myself with them.

30s/amateur sewist and artist/ttrpg fan/happily wedded.

🔞 only, due to risqué art. I’ll post as time allows as I dabble in various hobbies.
Pinned
Hoping to get this place a lot more artsy in the new year.

We made a lot of pullbags, so I took a break for my first simple drape and pin. The insides aren’t too pretty but folded and hand stitched the sides before going in to finish it with the machine. All that is left is to hem and add straps if I’m going too.

“Researchers studying huge vertebrae discovered on a beach near the city of Darwin say the creature is now the earliest known mega-predator of the modern shark lineage, living 15 million years earlier than enormous sharks found before.”

Before megalodon, researchers say a monstrous shark ruled ancient Australian seas
Researchers have dated vertebrae from a massive prehistoric shark thought to have ruled the waves off northern Australia back to further in the Cretaceous period than was previously known.

Tis the season of Christmas Tree dice bags. With my TTRPG gamers, I have made these holiday dice bags out if a variety of fabrics with love, and many chopstick pulled out corners in mind.

This is your reminder to drink water, and then water your plants, do pruning, and check any hydroponic roots for rot or trimming.

Reminder: Small business Saturday (and all year long) is a good time to patron your local craft and fabric stores to stock up for those seasonal projects!

The dark times of winter are upon us, so it’s time to fixate on homemade apparel and giftees!

Post a book you love from the 80s. No explanations, no reviews, just covers.

Today is World Kindness Day.
It can be holding a door open for someone, offering a seat on the bus, or simply checking on the people who have been a part of your life's story.
Steve Burns took us on learning adventures & yet came back to check on us later.

It’s a sick day from the day job after I woke up head spinning. So we’re take a break from the little quilts to begin the dissection and prep for a new t-shirt quilt.

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.

KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.

His reply was a doozy.

Just finished the girl’s blanket top. With some changes mid-project to incorporate the orange fabric squares, this one reminds me of a sunset with butterflies and stars ✨🦋🌅.

I think it might be one of my favorites yet.

Main fabric squared are cut. I broke the steam button on my iron so that will be fun to figure out. I changed up the boy color tones after digging out some better matches. These are going to be so cute!

Per usual, the Senior Office Manager is supervising.
