Thank you! I named it Koi because it has Koi fish colors and the black onyx glass beads remind me of their eyes. It truly does look like a moth though.

My state guild had an article about making cordage, and it pointed me to a YouTube video that shows how. It is pretty simple to do, although mine isn’t so smooth yet. youtu.be/X3I_ele6Ums?...

I just got into basketry a couple years ago. One of the first classes I took the instructor used sweet grass. It smells wonderful. It is a tiny basket, but I love it.

Sending hugs! Thank your brain for its commentary and tell it you expect to hear only things that help you or bring you joy. It is not helpful to hear about the past that you can’t do anything about. Besides, you are not just your brain or inner voice. You are much more than that.
