Tomorrow is not a promise.
Take every opportunity for joy today.
Even in the chaos, even in the sadness, even in grief.
If something makes you smile, embrace it.
Sending much love to all this Valentines Day, I know how difficult it can be.

When the dolphins you're making for a topper turn out so large that you have to redesign the whole thing...
But in my defence, they are blooming cute!

The Stardew Valley Farmhouse is finally finished!
It will form part of a post box topper that will be displayed for the Stardew Valley anniversary on Feb 26th, hopefully...
Going to make some cute plushies to go with it.

All of my items ready for my first craft fair tomorrow, including three of my ex-display post box toppers!
I am incredibly nervous, but it should be a fun day. If nothing else there will be mulled wine and mince pies!

I rarely open Twitter now, logged on today and within moments I felt that twisted pit of fear, disappointment and anxiety for humanity as it feeds you the hellscape cultivated since Musk took over.
Fear and anger fuel engagement.
We were being farmed for his $$
Bluesky feels like the old Twitter ❤️

The Stardew Valley sign is finished!!
Stitched on 14 count plastic canvas, it’s about 3 months of work, from design to completed stitching.
This will be part of a collaboration with my town’s yarn bombers in the new year, so watch this space!

Trying out some tree-gonks!
They're super chunky and use a lot of yarn so they'll be a bit more expensive, but they are very cute ❤

The final piece of advice I would like to give to new folks tonight is that Bluesky will be what you make of it. When I came over from the former Twitter, I resolved to be more kind to others here than I was over there. That choice has made being here so much better. Keep it in mind for yourself.
