My online shop will be part of the Friday strike.
But one thing I'm planning to offer tomorrow is a free Patreon post with a PDF of "Etoile du Nord" for you to print out at home. It's been such a hard road for us all lately, and you all deserve something good.

ICE shot a woman the next neighborhood over, in front of a friend of mine. The woman died. We're all really frightened and angry. There's video, and tons of witnesses to what happened. It's horrifying.

It's Monday, so I'm back on my shenanigans, finishing up little projects and putting up listings in my online shop. But that leafy choker needed juuuuust a few more beads, and I'm keeping it for myself.

At 3am I was having nightmares about zombies and civil unrest, like one does. And when I woke up, I found out we had apparently invaded Venezuela and taken their president and first lady prisoner.

This week I'm basically taking "off" for a nice staycation. So there's been cooking, and tidying up, and virtuous gym-going and whatnot. And I've been playing with art supplies I haven't really tried in a big way. I broke out some of the new Posca markets, and have been having a really good time...

Dear fellow Minnesotans; do you have some sweaters that could use cleaning? This snowstorm is the perfect opportunity to snow-wash your woolen clothes. While you're out shovelling, take your sweaters outside, cover them in snow and leave them for 10 minutes or so.

You'll see my shop is a little depleted these days! That's mostly because a lot of my embroideries are out in the world! The MiniARTure show is wrapping up this weekend, but these three pieces are going into the next show, "Into the Fiberverse" at the Otherworldly Arts Collective.

A nice thing about teaching adult community classes? Sometimes students will bring something to share with the class. A student in my knitting class brought in a crocheted bear that needed a knitted poncho. An embroidery student baked cranberry scones, and one of them was my breakfast. I love this.
