I highly recommend sending friends' children crafting things. You get to wake up to wonderful parcels

I treated myself to some prints from the amazing @tiffbaxter.bsky.social I feel like Medieval Revival/the Arts and Craft movement are going to be my vibe for this year
3 prints and a business card by the artist Tiffany Baxter. The print at the front is of a Sapphic couple in Regency dresses, the middle couple are a mlm couple in Regency winter clothing and they have little cherub wings, the print at the back is two people in medieval outfits holding a pendant of the bi flag

I got a fantastic addition to my queer flowers arm today
My (a white person's) arm with a new tattoo of a posey of violets wrapped in cling film

There was finally some decent lighting for me to get a photo of this. I made it for @cnlester.bsky.social 's Queer Renaissance Salon and it made me feel like a fairy prince. Eventually it will be covered in embroidery and have a lining based on Jacobian crewelwork
A vaguely Elizabethan style doublet in several blotchy shades of green, there is green and gold ribbon sewn to the edges and from the armscye to the waist seam, one sleeve is covered in embroidery in different shades of green evoking moss or other plants. The background is an oatmeal coloured carpet

I've fallen down an excellent rabbit hole of vintage sweater patterns. These are some of my favourite
A 1940s knitting pattern by Lincoln, it reads "out-of-door handknits for men" and has a man standing wearing a polar neck sweater with an Asian style dragon on the front. The whole image is black and white A black and white picture of a white man sitting down, he is wearing a sweater with a airplane covering most of the front and the rest is covered in small parachutes A 1950s knitting pattern by Mary Maxim. It shows in black and white a white man wearing a zip up cardigan. On the front of the cardigan there is the head of a cow on each side and on the back there is a whole cow. The man is holding a pipe, as is oddly common in knitting patterns. A colour knitting pattern for a man's cardigan from the 1940s. The cardigan is white with red zigzags and dots, it looks like a migraine aura.

If you see this, share a skeleton.
The Martin Jones Memorial skeleton, a ten inch tall purple sparkly skeleton, and Quincy, a plastic raven, sit on a pink shelf in front of a green wall

I had an amazing time at @cnlester.bsky.social's Queer Renaissance Salon. Music was made, poetry was read, duels were fought and I won a brick
CN Lester, a white nonbinary person, stands behind a music stand next to a man playing a theorbo, a lute shaped instrument with a very long neck for extra bass strings. The room is small and full of people. CN Lester, a white nonbinary person, stands talking passionately. The room is small and full of people. A foam stress toy in the shape of a brick with "prince Philip park" written in white. There no banana for scale.

I was talking about this with my cello teacher, and she told me about the trench cello, streamlined for easy travel 😆

Some of them have badly worded instructions, but this is the easiest to follow I've found archive.org/details/news...
I made this waistcoat from there
