New tank mate just dropped. Meet Frederick. Fred is a zebra nerite snail, chilling in my child’s betta tank. Fred is very slow and I hope will not lay eggs because nerite eggs look terrible.

Just finished my library catalog card sweatshirt. Pattern is a mashup of two. I saw another sewist on IG (Jasika, not sure if she’s on Bluesky) knit a vest like this and was inspired to make my own version.

I’ve noticed recently that the light from my sewing machine is great for displaying my new nail polishes. I think I’m part dragon for my love of glowy sparkly nails.

Finally finished this embroidery piece I started before Halloween.

This is the Newport One Piece pattern. I like the long sleeves for sun protection while paddle boarding.

I also made this sundress. It’s got dinosaurs and I love it. No pattern to recommend here - I strayed far from the path.

Starting to post my makes here as part of my move away from the ‘gram. Pictured here is the Named Eloisa sweatshirt, sewn in a rose colored Sherpa from Stylemaker Fabrics in WA. Made in Fall 2024.
