Took a little social media break. But I’m back and I still have nothing to say, so here’s some blackberries I grew.

Today’s carved stamp. One of my favorite bugs, a RolyPoly.

Today’s creative endeavors. Stamp carving.

When the Universe gives you a toothache you turn it into art.

Hims is happy to sleep in my crotchal area, but petting is NOT allowed.

My stumpery is finally taking shape. Do something that feeds your soul today.

Bought orange fabric paint considering painting a beige pair of Tom’s wedges that I got at the thrift brand new, but boring.

Finished sewing on my Three Raccoons patches. @threeraccoonsvan.bsky.social

@threeraccoonsvan.bsky.social I finally started sewing patches on my bag. Planning to use this bag for toting library books. Highly recommend Three Raccoons.

I ate leftover pizza (gluten free but w/ real cheese…’cause fuck it the end of the world is nigh and I’m going out eating cheese) and cassava chips with dill pickles for lunch, but I killed it doing my chores/errands. Very proud of myself for finally washing my car.

Second ? Mock up corset. I think one fits well enough to add hardware. The bra cups are presenting a challenge, but I shall persevere.

Ready for seven hours of driving the backroads of rural RED Texas. Don’t worry, I can take care of myself. Happy valentines to EVERYBODY!

So, according to the pattern envelope I’m a 12. Seriously. Way way way too big.

Book 5/2025. From the library. Told you I was obsessed with 20s/30s burlesque.

So obsessed with 20s/30s burlesque/circus. Finally finished the “panties”. All work was done by hand. Imagine a birdcage skirt or maybe a fluffy bustle skirt and a corset.

When you are suddenly obsessed with 1920s-1930s circus/vaudeville/burlesque you make yourself some pasties.

So. Yesterday this pattern was giving bike shorts. Today, we are closer to vintage circus “panty”. Sadly my sewing machine doesn’t want to sew on stretch velvet so these are getting done slowly by hand.

Y’all. Part of making magic out of this madness is a foray into circus and burlesque history. Today I started the “bloomers”. I’ve been sewing for 40 years. I was a size 8, now I’m a 12, EXCEPT I’m exactly the same size I have always been. Ugh.

Book4/2025.

Starting book 3 of 2025. I think this is going to be a year of escapism…books and daydreaming. I can’t stomach the current events. #booksky

Patterns have arrived. A couple of “fancy” thrifted dresses have been deconstructed. I’m ready to start building my fantasy world: vintage circus, clown, steampunk, burlesque, jester, whatever my imagination dreams up. Part of my plan to make magic from the madness. #sewing #corset #fantasycircus

Hey there! I’m actually leaving the house. I’ve never done a fit check but I’m feeling sassy.

I have fucked up my sleep schedule which is key to managing my chronic illness. I swore I was going to get up earlier today but then this happened.
January 24, 2025 at 2:51 PM
Trying to make magic in the midst of madness. Today I’m distracting myself by doing my nails. #mooncat #queenofthedead

Second read of 2025. I’m back to reading my own shelves in backward alpha order. Started a year or two? ago. Broke my no-buy streak but I’m back to my own shelves. This is a re-read.
