I asked my tattoo artist friend to give me a pelican, complete with resting bitch face, and she understood the assignment 🥰

I may have gone overboard at the Book Barn today but I found so many treasures! I can't resist a $1 vintage paperback.

Day 1 with the plants all in place. Fingers crossed everything settles in over the next few weeks so I can start figuring out which critters to add.

Finally starting a project I meant to start a year ago with a completely new freshwater tank that will be (hopefully) it's own self-sustaining ecosystem with the struggle with filter changes, etc. I think we'll start with some shrimp once the plants arrive and have a few weeks to develop.

Jasper has a concern about how dark and loud outside is right now.

It's Star Wars Day and if you are so-inclined, New Orleans, you can find me and a bunch of other artists displaying our Star Wars-inspired art at 531 Lyons St from 6 to 9 p.m.

Kiddo was cooked by 2:30 so we're home already but made it to the Fest for the ritual Rosemint tea, crawfish bread, and mango freeze and caught the end of Ricky Lee Jones' set before I spent a lot of money on some art for my bday/mom day present. Out before the crowd got too crowded.

I am quiet on the internet because my hands are busy finishing work for two art shows I am participating in during May. My fingers hurt & my eyes are crossing but I'm pretty stoked about this one. This piece is my in-progress submission for Peepshow at Chemical 14 in the Bywater, opening May 10th.

No cheating, your last saved celebrity pic is your therapist.

Voted NO to them all and now it's shop girl o'clock. Sun's still kinda out on Oak Street so shop local, friends.

The mourning doves that nested above our center porch column in the fall returned and have a new baby. 🥰 I thought there were two but might only be one this time.

Now we are on fledgling watch so we can make sure the outside cats leave them alone when it's time to fly away. 🙏

Participating in a Star Wars-inspired show in May (the open is exactly the day you think it should be) so I have been stitching like mad today because I have 2 collections to finish for Mary's Rack this month & I'm submitting for another show at Chemical 14 (also in May) so crunch time is now.

Everything is on fire but my Girl Scout cookies just got delivered so I'm gonna be ok for at least t24 hours.

Banh mi on Frenchman got me going way longer than I planned today. I love you, New Orleans.

Happy Mardi Gras, New Orleans! I'll be in the Marigny/Quarter handing out flowers if you find me. 😘
March 4, 2025 at 3:02 PM
Cajun Mardi Gras but made only with fabric scraps I've been hoarding over the last 20 years

Digging through the costume bins in the attic for tomorrow and gonna try to rehab this corset I made in another lifetime...I SHOULD try to handstitch this like I did originally but I am probably just gonna glue gun it and call it a day.

I always say I wanna branch out more with new king cakes but we always end up back at Antoine's. They never let me down.

Today's embroidery project is dealing with some shit. #justkeepstitching

I've been kind of in a depressive hole lately what with all the personal garbage fires and the whole living in interesting times chaos. But I promised my friend a new spring collection for the shop and, honestly, the embroidery helps. Creating things helps.

Beats rolling over and dying.
