I want your art on my walls but I don't know how!
How do I safely attach art prints to drywall without ruining either of them, or putting every print in a frame?
Metal plate with magnets?
Pin board and balance the prints without putting holes in them?

Will a new paper planner fix me? Locally made sustainable materials for $84?
Or should I get medicated properly and not be such a mess?

Hello! Just a reminder that I have multiple free cross stitch OFMD patterns on my Kofi! Mostly crew patterns (one Stede), varying difficulty. If you are UK crew and would like to try cross stitch but can't afford supplies I will also happily send you some by post 🧵🪡💜

Oh my goodness I unboxed my new vacuum cleaner too enthusiastically and something behind my shoulder blade has seized again.
So in case you wanted to know how old I am, it's that old...

Screenshot from AO3 of an Our Flag Means Death fanfic title, author, and summary. Dark grey background, white text. Text reads as follows: unexpected showers by petrichorca Summary: By the time they made it out of the crush of traffic fleeing the airport, there was exactly one hotel room left in the entire city—and they took it, because what other choice did they have? Ed Teach’s secret crush on his best friend Stede Bonnet is put to the test when they’re stranded in a hotel room together, with a weird bathroom and only one bed.

Last night I had pumpkin pie for the first time (as well as yams with tiny marshmallows) and let me say; I can see why y'all do that. It's so good. As someone who had only eaten savoury pumpkin I was sceptical, but I am changed.

I was feeling pretty sad that my friends are camping without me this weekend but then I got to borrow a sewing machine and THEN I got two separate invitations to Thanksgiving dinners on different days with people I dance with and actually I've got a pretty special community and I might cry happy.

Hey. Sometimes the world is good and lovely, and it wraps you up in hope and beauty and warmth. Like it was a shawl.

The group who won were called The Coven btw.
A tumblr post by @notsofrangible: the world has been horrifying recently but i have personally witnessed something that brought me joy. Every year, California's largest sheep and fiber festival, Lambtown, takes place in Dixon, CA. On the second day of Lambtown, teams of eight compete in a "sheep to shawl" competition, where the teams must start the day with un-spun wool and end the day with a 72" woven shawl. Teams may "warp" a loom ahead of time (where you thread the loom with its foundation of parallel threads), but on the day of competition they must spin their wool into yarn and weave it into a complete shawl. This year competition was stiff, and very very close, and the winning team finished their shawl with two and a half minutes to spare. Photo from tumblr post. Original image alt text "Two masterfully woven shawls lay folded in half atop a green table. the distal shawl, in red and green, has the second place ribbon. the first place and champion ribbons lay atop the shawl in the foreground, woven with the colors of the trans flag" Photo from the tumblr post. Original image alt text "a close up picture of a shawl woven in the colors of the trans flag (blue, pink, and white), with first place and champion ribbons resting on top of the shawl." Screenshot from the @lambtownfestival Instagram page. It shows a person in a blue top working at a treadle loom weaving the shawl in the trans flag colours of blue, pink and white. Her greying hair is pulled back in a tight bun and she wears glasses. A pair of sandals are placed neatly next to the loom. She is weaving barefoot.

“There. Much better” Ed whispered softly as he rested his chin on Stede’s shoulder.

Boyfriend's pockets are the best pockets. Ed says so. Got to do an illustration for @watchtheflow.bsky.social's toasty sweet 'Bonfire Night'! 🧡

Drawing of Ed and Stede from Our Flag Means Death. They're wearing modern warm clothing; coats and scarf and gloves. Ed is resting his chin on Stede's shoulder as he shoves his hands into Stede's coat pockets from behind. Stede is giggling, all crinkly eyes and dimples. The night is cold enough for their breath to show and they're lit from below from a nearby bonfire. They're as sticky toasty sweet as smores.
