Sometimes making a simple art card to include in a random gift to a friend who has been going through it as a fed gov't contractor is the highest use of an art practice on a Sunday. I hope everyone is making something this weekend!!! #voiedevie
A hand made card stamped with the word "happy" in top left, the purple letter "k" running along the left side and a portion of the bottom, an Eiffel Tower stamped in black near the k's along the left, a small rectangular brass plate with inspirational words along the bottom right, all on cardstock that has been blended with various distress inks. This sits stop a brown envelope that has also been distressed along the front edges and back flap.

Ok, one more sleeve to go, and then the finishing up!!! #voiedevieyarns #crochet
Photo of striped crochet raglan pullover folded over showing the first sleeve completed. Mostly random stripes of peachy pink, cream, sage green, tomato, and various shades of purple that start lighter at the neck and get progressively darker to the hem.

Working on finishing this crochet raglan top over the US holiday weekend. All yarn with color hand dyed by yours truly. Center yourself by making something this weekend! #voiedevieyarn
Photo of striped crochet raglan top in progress. Stripes are random in colors of cream, light peachy-pink and green and get progressively more color-filled as the pullover is created. A ball of hand-dyed, hand wound yarn and a crochet hook sit atop the pullover, and a peace candle holder and mug of half-sipped coffee are at the top center of the photo.

It took Trump 3 hours to delete the Spanish version of the White House website and the White House’s Spanish Twitter account.

Trump won 42% of the Hispanic vote.

I am so thrilled to live in a place that recognizes and celebrates MLK, Jr.'s birthday. Here's a little visual fuel to energize you for the next 4 years. Stay centered, stay true to your beliefs, and know that we are in this together.

Biden did not enforce the ban. Tik Tok went dark on its own and has come back on its own - Trump did not and *could not* do anything because he has not yet been sworn into office. The a$$hat tech bros may be genuflecting, but the legal ticker tape tells the accurate story.

Sunday brunch-at-home vibe. MLK, Jr. would want you to go make something ... and eat well!

Projects I'm working on this wknd (l-r): the back of my knit winter cardi; my hand dyed yarn picked for a spring crochet pullover; + a peek at a project in its plastic bag - this version for me; the orig sample sent months ago + ready for 3rd party pub in a few months. So, what's everyone making?
Photo of a ball of hand dyed Voie de Vie blue yarn in the Ice Block colorway inside circular needles with the beginning of the back of a knit winter cardi on them, all atop the magazine that contains the cardi pattern. Yarn scape of 3 Voie de Vie hand dyed skeins of yarn in the Impressionist Pie and Chartreuse-ish colorways on a brown wood second hand dining table, ready to start creating a spring lace crochet pullover. Yarns of greens and cream in a project bag. I cannot describe much else because this is a super secret project.

I am super thrilled to finally finish this cardi!!! 3 moves, 3 states, and almost 3 years later, and the ends are finally woven in. It is destined now for regular wear. My crochet design (Cozy Chic Cardigan), my hand dyed yarn (SW Bling in a reverse fade of Blushing Ice Wine and Cool Energy). Woot!
Four photos of my finished crochet lace cardigan shown on my wrought iron dress form next to a display on top of a stool of a cream pumpkin and mohair hand dyed yarn in beige and coral-y red/pink on which rests one of the sleeves of the cardigan.

I have started my first #FastenoffYAL project - my version of the Linen The Dream #crochet cowl. The first few rows are in the books! I am using small batch hand-dyed #voiedevieyarn and 3.5 + 4.00 mm hooks.
