My professional website has been defunct for a few years so I finally remade it from scratch. I designed it completely by myself for the first time so be kind if you critique it! 🥰

I don’t care if you think Threads or Bluesky is better as long as you agree Twitter should be killed with a stake through the heart. Solidarity.

I somehow got myself into the sea slug side of the sky and keep seeing all the cute nudibranch photos and illustrations. I love them! Here are some nudibranchs I drew two years ago for a fabric design. #nudivember

Yesterday, I thought about the Doomsday Clock and did some reading about it. It has been at 90 seconds to midnight since January ‘23. I wonder how much it will move forward this coming January.

Recently finished this #crochet project and I’m so happy with how it turned out. It’s an asymmetrical sideways shawl freehanded in Malabrigo sock. Every few rows I changed the stitch so it’s a sampler without looking like a typical sampler. It’s super lightweight and soft! 🧶 🥰 #FiberArt

I type and I delete, type and delete. Just like all the other SM places I’ve ever been, I lurk and overthink and never hit post. So I’m trying.

Current crochet WIP - freehand wrap worked sideways in superwash sock weight held double. I love using black yarn but it’s so much easier to see the stitches when it’s paired with a lighter color.

Wait, is this going to be the place where we can post all the cats? I really hope so. These are my cats Chili and Pepper. I have not seen them in a week and a half and I miss them too much.
