I’ve been reflecting on all the things that I experienced this year and how exciting it is. I always want to challenge myself to have new experiences, and I definitely did that. Now it’s time to figure out what are the experiences I want for NEXT year…

Omg I never even talked abt the fact that I did the props for rocky horror picture show over here…

I did! My proudest make was Eddie’s head, out of expanding foam and modeling foam clay!

I’ve been kicking off my writing dreams by ACTUALLY writing somewhere publicly and sticking to a schedule! Bc why did I pursue everything else I wanted to do but not this one?

Here’s my most recent! medium.com/@rengudino/h...
How Sarah Hale Made Me Like Thanksgiving
Sarah Hale had the lady balls to make Thanksgiving a national holiday in 1863 and that’s cool as hell.

After finishing the costumes for my kid’s school, I wanted to make something for ME! It’s done! My scrappy dress! #handmadeclothes #handmade #sewing #textiles

I disappeared so I could make #costumes for #aliceinwonderland junior but I DID it and I am so proud of myself!

My toxic trait is screenshooting ads of clothing I want and spending entirely too long figuring out how to make it myself.

Things that I think are important rn:
- seed swaps and plant/seed shares
- personal shared libraries or creating libraries in locally owned places for the books libraries can’t share
- sharing resources for local med professionals that are LGBTQ safe

I finally finished latch hooking this corner! Only three more to go. I am waiting until it’s all latch
hooked before trimming, that way I don’t accidentally trim something too short. I also kind of really love how fluffy it is right now, and so does the baby! #rugmaking #yarn #handmaderug

If you're struggling financially due to government fuckery or for any reason really and you need infant formula talk to your pediatrician we can hook you up and don't like to ask questions.

The thing is, I have two kids: a tween and a baby. And ultimately, my priority is providing some kind of positive and normal environment for them. Even if I’m panicky or full of dread. And honestly, that kind of helps me.

I think I feel differently. I notice that I’m not driven by the end result but just the doing. I’ve immediately given away stuff that took me weeks or months, just bc I get more thrill from constantly working on something.
Something I don't see creatives talk about so much is the crushing letdown and depression that can follow finishing up a huge project that has consumed you. Like you are suddenly cut adrift with no purpose. Got to reach for a lifeboat. That next thing...

A team in Exeter has developed a finger-prick test to classify long Covid into three types: weak antibody response, excess immune response, and unclear patterns.

Early results suggest it could guide tailored treatments, but larger trials are needed.

I cut out the stitches underneath the wool & that helped it lay a little flatter. I’ll go in later and felt it. I also bought a Pom Pom maker which sped up that process by a LOT. #fiberarts #rugmaking #yarn I’m wanting more color and textures so that’s next 🤗

Mr. Rogers
If they looked you square in the eye and said without a hint of humor or irony “fuck you, I will never respect you”, which celebrity would it hurt the most to hear it from?

Seriously though, few things have made me as okay with accepting failure or mess ups as art has. The amt of times I want to try a new thing and have to undo a ton to start all over has become an “it is what it is” situation. Still bummed but nothing wrong w improving skills. #crafting

Well my rug in progress isn’t laying flat bc I crocheted the wool too tightly and now I’m having to pull up a whole bunch and start over on parts. But I’d rather fix it now than do more work and be devastated later
