Y’all look like you could use some leaves.

Please enjoy these fungi.

Want some funky handcarved-by-me spoons? Come to the Craft Fair for Gaza on Sunday 12–6pm, 629 Nostrand Ave., Brooklyn NYC.
Three hand-carved hardwood spoons in different sizes and quirky shapes. The woods are sycamore and spalted maple.

Anxious about a job interview tomorrow, so I made a spoon about it.
Back view of a handcarved wooden spoon in red maple with interesting dark swirly grain patterns Front view close-up of the spoon’s bowl. The bowl and handle have dark swirled patterns in the wood. Back view of the spoon showing the rather sharp bend in the bowl and a knot in the lower handle.

Making things is deeply satisfying, particularly in times of world madness. I commend to you the making of things.

In other news, I seem to have taken up woodcarving. Left, maple spindle I made yesterday. Right, cherry spoon I made tonight.
Two handcarved objects of use: at left, a long slender spindle shaft tapering to a point in pale wood with dark ribbons of grain. At right, a spoon with a small bowl and chunky handle in rosy brown wood.

I’ve been making spindles from fallen branches & polymer clay & then spinning yarn with them.
Four handmade spindles with colorful clay whorls and hand-carved shafts. Each one has a bit of handspun yarn wound on it. Two more handmade spindles sitting next to two skeins of handspun yarn. The yarn is marled: made from one ply of brown and one ply of white spun together in a barberpole effect.

If it helps, here are a few pics from a cardigan I made last year. The green running stitch is just to mark where I’m going to cut. Harder to see are the 2 lines of backstitches on either side of the cut to reinforce the steek. Then cut! Fold back and stitch down the steek edges. Knit button bands.
Grey handknit sweater with a line of green running stitches up the center marking the cut line for the steek The same sweater, freshly cut down the center The same sweater with seed stitch button bands made along the center front edges where the steek had been cut

Before I go to sleep (ok, to read), here is a very tiny toad I saw today.
Close-up of a small greenish brown toad with black stripes over each eye. It’s perched on a stick, which looks like a giant log because the toad is so small.

In non-terrible news, I spun this nice little bit of Shetland yarn today.
Handspun white Shetland wool wrapped in a nice decorative diamond (“turtle”) on a dark wood Turkish spindle.

Did I mention I’m learning to spin?

It’s way too hot & muggy for it, but I did it anyway.

So this happened.
Two people dressed in casual clothing holding signs in front of their heads, blocking their faces. The sign at left reads “Introverts Against Tyranny,” with red, white, and blue angry emoji drawn below. The sign at right reads “So bad even the introverts are here” in red and blue lettering. Behind them is a grassy knoll and other protestors in the distance.
