A very tired environmental scientist that probably should have done something artsy. I love reading, fibre arts (crochet, tunisian crochet, knitting), painting, collecting art, all that good stuff.

Friday night reading. How can I love art so much while despising writing about art so much? Maybe Magritte would approve since my shoddy understanding is that he wanted to fight against the traditional view of words being above images?

You need me to crochet you a draftstopper. If you feel any better I need them for my Calgary house and it was built in 2002. Better building materials in yours!

Ooof, that one would get me because of my small mustache. I found this drawing in my son's school bag and it is a little too accurate.

Started 2025 knitting up a skein of alpaca/merino/cotton blend from Neatnik Yarns that has been sitting in my stash. The colour and floof were irresistable! 🧶

Not a lot to see in Canada right now but this curious fella hung out with me on my deck this summer. I don't know names but he was a jumper!

Did I 'need' this yarn, technically no, BUT look at it! It's stunning, and distracts me from the world literally and metaphorically being on fire.
Beautiful mini set is by Essence of Autumn
