A daughter of the Witchopus you were unable to burn.
Happy Halloween!
#CrochetAway #Handmade #Crochet #Witch #Octopus
A witch octopus with a green face, protruding nose, pointy black hat, and 8 spooky black tentacles. It’s too late - she’s already put a hex on you. Now all your Halloween candy will taste like sugar.

#SewAndTell this week is sewing horror stories. I used a satin stitch appliqué method to piece the back of this shirt together, but didn’t use quite a wide enough stitch, and the fabric soon started to fray and pull at the satin stitch seams. Also the butt is ill-fitted.
#Handmade #Sewing
Rear view of a terrifying outfit, comprised of a shirt and shorts in a loud and senseless combination of patterns and colors. Bright oranges and yellows, a stripey lemon pattern, a pink fabric with fanciful beetles, and a fabric with oranges scattered everywhere. The shirt features a satin stitch appliqué technique, meant to look like an abstract mountainous landscape. The shorts are wrinkled and puckered around the but, due to poor easing in the crotch. Front view of the same terrifying outfit that a psychopath would construct and wear

Final okra experiment before it goes out of season: Wild lacto-fermented blend of okra, bell peppers, red onion, and carrots. This batch turned out a little slimier. The previous one included a sachet of bay leaves and black tea - a recommended addition!

I got to spend some time in and around New York City this month, and saw some pretty cool museums, but my favorite was the Brooklyn Museum. @brooklynmuseum.org 🧵
A grotesque cigar-smoking bespectacled man, apparently named King Porn, according to the counter he sits behind. He’s made of burlap and other various colorful fabrics, and his cash register reads $3.98. Behind him, a painted backdrop with posters for the Cactus Club (featuring a scraped-up nude woman with potted cacti all around), Cigarette (featuring a blindfolded nude man with several lit cigarettes being thrust at his various parts), and a sign reading “IF WE DON’T HAVE IT IN STOCK ASK DON”. Maybe King Porn is also known as Don? No matter - one gets the sense this porn shop has pretty much everything in stock.

Home made prickly pear kvass! With tunas from my yard, red cabbage, apple, jalapeño, lemon rind, and sea salt. I added a couple tuna skins as well, for extra tannins. Beautiful, bright, tart, tasty tonic!

This week’s #SewAndTell is Summer themed.
Here’s a colorful summery short sleeved button-down shirt, with matching mask. The landscape design on the back is meant to represent Cathedral Rock in Sedona, AZ.

Do not be afraid, it’s just Biblically Accurate Tentacle Angel
#Handmade #Crochet #Tentacle #Angel 🧶
Slip stitch crochet finger puppet. The center is a mass of white tentacles, with a blue eye and light blue eyelids in the center. Radiating from the mass of tentacles are 5 yellow spokes, with small eyeballs at the terminus of each spoke. A yellow halo of sorts connects the outer eyeballs. The finger puppet is held aloft by an index finger. Ominous clouds roil in the background.

I’m super proud of this excellently executed portrait of me looking goofy. I don’t have a mantle, but if I did, this would be displayed on it. As it is, it holds a place of honor in the entryway of my home. Art by fine portraitist, Dustin Brunelle.

Meatloaf money shot. I guess it’s difficult to get a properly sexy shot of a recently-cooked meatloaf in its own pan. This pic doesn’t quite convey the deliciousness of the meatloaf, or the ketchup baked on top. But I managed to restrain myself, and used it to feed a party of 5.

#CrochetAway this week is headwear, and this will take some explanation, but I think it’s worth it. One of my favorite pieces, now lost to the sands of time: A hat shaped like a rubber duck, with long orange legs that could be tied as a chin strap. The genius part was a moo can, stuffed in the neck.
Portrait of a man wearing a crocheted yellow hat in the shape of a rubber duck, as well as glasses, and a red t-shirt featuring Cookie Monster’s face. The duck has long orange legs, tied in a bow under the man’s chin, with the duck’s feet dangling down over Cookie Monster’s eyes. Neutral, slightly lavender background. The man faces the viewer, and the duck’s head is cocked slightly to the left.

They were very grateful for the poops.

The first prompt for #SewAndTell is firsts!
Here’s the first vest I ever sewed. It was too short for me, so went to my sister. The sturdy ticking fabric stood up to my sewing and re-sewing a number of times - a good fabric to learn on!

Week 30 of #CrochetAway is proud favorites.

I’m particularly fond of the Spaghetti Monster - a fully slip-stitched finger puppet, that’s always a hit at dinner parties and potlucks.
