update: we didn't get in 😓

mannn i hope we get accepted to the con next year 🙏🙏🥺🥺

the con is done and i am exhausted 😭 but so fulfilled tho. it was fun meeting so many artists.

ingress tomorrow omg 😳 i'm sharing a table with a couple of friends and we've got some ideas on how to set up our space. hopefully things will go well 🙏

finished setting up my full crochet merch inventory at long last. i had to do it this evening because i was starting to convince myself that i didn’t have enough merch to sell at the con. but now that i’ve spent two hours listing out my merch, i’m less panicked but still a bit anxious lol

one week left until the con 😭 i need to be more active on my art ig, i think. i rarely ever post there huhuh but i’m thinking of sharing sneak peeks of my merch there every day until the con. hopefully i won’t forget 😅

had a dream last night that i was eating something fried and it had some kind of ranch dip. i was three bites in when i remembered that ranch was mayo-based! egg!! im allergic to poultry!!! i was horrified cos my eczema had just calmed down too 😭 thank god it wasn’t real

pupdate: we still don’t know where the bonus pup came from but she’s definitely not going anywhere any time soon 😅

posted this on 🐥 but i wanted to share this here too. this is my favorite frame of the 1995 movie adaptation of Persuasion. Mary Musgrove is so cute in this scene. look at the doll on the chair. they’re mirroring each other, right down to the blanket over their laps 🥹💕

official progress thread for my #OpalWIP ✨🌻

since i’m officially jumping ship from 🐥 i ought to make a proper intro post here

i’m zia, a writer, a reader, and a crocheter so most of my posts here will likely be about books or my crochet projects 💕

i finished the 2nd draft of my contemporary fantasy Wizards WIP last September and -

sharing my favorite crocheted art piece 🧶 it’s van gogh’s Sunflowers 🌻 💕

changed my dp with a picrew avatar… it’s official 😅

the bad place (🐥) is deteriorating at such a rapid place. literally just opening the app for several minutes makes my phone heat up. i think it’s time to jump ship for real 🥲

got a little hyperfixated on tapestry crocheting last week 😅 this mona lisa piece took me a bit longer to finish but despite the odd color choices, i still like it 🧶

here’s my favorite crochet project so far as my first bluesky post ☺️
