I hate moving, my body is letting me know just how old I am. This is when you realize you have to much crap. Time to seriously downsize. Although the oldest says I have too much wool and art supplies. Can there ever be too much?

So many species are being eliminated by the greed of some humans that we have entered an era of extinction that resembles the death of the dinosaurs. We are part of nature and every loss diminishes us

Still plugging away at the Qanik a pattern by Linka Nuemann. The only time I’ve done a swatch & even though gage is right as are measurements I think it’s looking huge. #2025twtsweaterkal

The Qanik hoodie. Pattern is a Linka Neumann from her Wilderness Knits. This is my first steek and first time using Alafosslopi. Bit like knitting with straw :) I’d forgotten how quick it can be using a 10 needle and bulky. I usually use 4 and fingering sport weight.

Just add “on Zoom” after every fortune…

Dr. Tamsin Astor sent me this late last night. And we swear this is true for you if you come to our workshop in September.

If you’re stuck in a creative rut, struggling to start, or can’t seem to finish what you begin—you just might be out of sync with your creative momentum.

I made a quiz to help you identify what fuels you—and what might be slowing you down.

No pattern, figured it was just grannies. Nice and quick. Sometimes you need quick and easy.

THE HAUNTED STATES OF AMERICA comes out tomorrow 7/15/25 in paperback! Not all hardcovers make it to paperback, so this is exciting stuff: lower price, a bendable format, & perfect ahead of the upcoming Spooky Season. Available anywhere books are sold, but I'll add a link to my local indie. 💙

Working on grannies. I have a few ideas, we shall see when I’ve finished making many many more.

He finally got his head. Took all morning for that hair. And he still stands, around 14-15”
Pattern was by red.bunny.crochet.

He’s been standing there all day. I really need to get a head on, it’s a bit creepy 😂. But, it’s standing on its own, I always use cardboard in shoes.

As mentioned, it was a pleasure to mostly work traditionally (acrylics) on my upcoming Stomping Ground, as well as the usual tonal sketch! It was my largest painting yet (16x20). The painting has already sold to a generous offer.
