As Me Made May closes, I ended it in a dress from Draper James fabric and a dupe of a Draper James dress (there’s a slight ruffle and folded edge on the bottom, and I included pockets. Maybe I’ll kick insomnia tonight, as you can tell I’m lacking sleep. #memademay #draperjames

Crocheted tank again, for Me Made May. Repeats should be expected. I did wear the wrong bra with it, but oh well. As I draft some of my epic summer sh!t I do. The tank in action, and Bourbon looking at me like a piece of meat, his lost marble, or…#crochet #memademay

Me Made May: my Calvin Warp Dress in a rayon and cotton blend. Favorite parts are the French seams & the reused strap sliders I painted with nail polish to match. A crocheted cotton shawlette for a gift: something I made as of recent. #memademay #handmade #slowfashion #crochet #calvinwrapdress

The nationalism scholar wants to discuss the power of national & communal memory, the economic power of defense, & the geopolitical place of presence. The patriot wants to acknowledge the actions of civil & military defense, the fight for national independence, & the protection of the Union. 1/3

Yesterday’s Me Made May: up-cycled shirt of my Dad’s to an apron, a do rag with leftover silk from Romania, and pizza sauce. And a lupus rash for fun #lupus #memademay

Me Made May on a rainy day, post finals grading but not done as one school doesn’t end for three weeks. It’s the life. My Phen Shirt from Pattern Fantastique in the Valentino silk I picked up in Paris. I do enjoy the airy design and high-low hem. #phenshirt #memademay #handmade #valentino

Me Made May: athletes have leg day, Me Made gets bag day. My leather backpack purse I tote around a decent amount, my project bag with a pair of socks I’m working on in it, and my well worn cosmo bag I that holds groceries and dead dreams. #memademay #handmade #slowfashion

Me Made. Scrap knit from a dress I made in 2021. My shirt: Plantain Tee, a free one from the old Deer and Doe. The sleeves are smaller, so I increased them two sizes. Before anyone freaks out: there’s one key for my door; it’s just old NYC. #memademay #deeranddoepatterns #plantaintee

Me Made is sometimes just about the space and spaces. Besides, I’m grading and look—well—the dark side of frightening. Hair all over, untamed, good times… the wall hanging is an absolute favorite. #memademay #professorlife

Me made, grading and working an assessment shift all day. A panel pillow it did, a quilt that’s a couple decades old, one of my first pairs of socks, and some new knitting. I need to grade some more. #vanillalattesocks #quilting #memademay #professorlife

Me Made with Mom. I wore a favorite make I did; she loves it. Took it in, AGAIN. A decade later we’re both still shocked I have it. Her shawl is the insomnia one I posted on Rav. #prettyinpink #memademay #grainlinestudio #aldermandress

Me Made, a little extra. An a-line skirt from my well-worn, old as all get out Barcelona Skirt pattern. I omitted the lining and put in a facing instead. Good call. Bonus tax: Miss Daisy, the boys, and Dad. #memademay #barcelonaskirt #amybutlerdesign #handmade #slowfashion #rescuedog

A Lakeside PJs top I sport as a cami. Made that about two years ago with a yard of rayon, and I made the straps adjustable. #memademay #handmade #slowfashion #lakesidepjs #grainlinestudio

During my evening seminar this appeared. Not normal. Not okay. Public education is vital to all.

I spend an unholy amount of time driving I-95 these days. NC to VA to see my Mom at the nursing home and help my Dad with his appointments (& hers).Today, an unseasonably warm 65 & sunny, brought out the sunroof for the sullen winter landscape. Questionable singing and loud songs may have emerged.
