Because I keep stabbing myself with them.

30s/amateur sewist and artist/ttrpg fan/happily wedded.

🔞 only, due to risqué art. I’ll post as time allows as I dabble in various hobbies.
Pinned
Hoping to get this place a lot more artsy in the new year.

Today is World Kindness Day.
It can be holding a door open for someone, offering a seat on the bus, or simply checking on the people who have been a part of your life's story.
Steve Burns took us on learning adventures & yet came back to check on us later.

It’s a sick day from the day job after I woke up head spinning. So we’re take a break from the little quilts to begin the dissection and prep for a new t-shirt quilt.

Stand by an Office Manager who will smack the shit out of a Wednesday morning at 6:30 AM for you.

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.

KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.

His reply was a doozy.

Just finished the girl’s blanket top. With some changes mid-project to incorporate the orange fabric squares, this one reminds me of a sunset with butterflies and stars ✨🦋🌅.

I think it might be one of my favorites yet.

Main fabric squared are cut. I broke the steam button on my iron so that will be fun to figure out. I changed up the boy color tones after digging out some better matches. These are going to be so cute!

Per usual, the Senior Office Manager is supervising.

The Junior Office Manager teamed up with Acehubby to wake me up from my 10 hour deep sleep.

It’s finally Saturday; time for crafts, creativity, and exploration.

An exasperated puca was expecting a strapping lad that could help him with hijinks as an offering from the local village.

Not a mousy tourist that is rather petrified she’s got a new roommate (and room for that matter) in the damn spirit and fae realm.

Took a wrong turn and ended up in Salem, Massachusetts for Halloween.

Happy spooky season!!!

Last night I went to the Puca Festival in Trim, Ireland.

It's all fun and games until someone unleashes a giant demonic hare.

Fucked off further North East for some fall color with the husband. Gods, I love this season.

Sketch-a-day quick sketches I’ve done since I picked it back up earlier this month. I started this back in 2017, and now it’s 8
years later and I have two- this one for work and one for life. They often end up blended.

Sometimes your party artillerist turns in her fat ass, slow-walking starship destroyer (Barbarossa) for violations of the three pillars (Genghis).

Her husband is NOT happy about her piloting a(nother) walking war crime.

The Senior Office manager must test all equipment for its quality.
