How cool is it that my current struggle is that I want to shop small businesses but also know I could just make the thing myself!!! I’ve made 7 different book sleeves (so far) but that small business has a cute one and I just might get one anyways 🥰

There’s this church that I drive by occasionally with a giant chair outside that they paint for certain occasions. Usually it’s confusing or just strange but this was clever and made me chuckle

While buying new pants today I realized there was a hole in the pants I was wearing…so I wore the pants I bought out of the store, got home, and repaired the pants I was originally wearing. Alls that to say prepping for being in an office 3 days next week is going well 😅

Whoops haven’t been remembering to take pictures of things I make using the cone like I had wanted to but I’d guestimate 95% of these were stitched with THE CONE (including some hand stitching on the inside of my hat!)

I’ve been super into horror lately and this one has been really good so far, but y’all don’t forget that horror can be funny too
“He just assumed, like most men, that his death would come at the hands of a woman. Oh shit, he was a misogynist. Grandpa would be proud.”

Highly recommend getting a pattern (from @beksstitches.bsky.social in general) (but also any pattern) and then totally free balling the color scheme and some of the stitches too if you just feel like it! It’s fun!
