A #februarty offering in the form of an art card - A birthday gift for my quirky, smart niece Anna — one of the most quotable people I know — on the occasion of her 7th birthday 🎉
Cut paper isn’t my usual jam, but this was really delightful to make

Happy 99th birthday to my grandpa, here with me as a baby. He was a bad ass - and he loved me very much. #Grief is a forever state - I have actual discussions (arguments!) with him in my head. #truestory some days when I need armor, I wear one of his his belt buckles. 💪🏻❤️

When I got married years ago, my husband gave me a small white gold band carved with forget me nots. Inside: ‘ALH to GEJ 2-7-25’.
To celebrate we will eat a beautiful dinner with our dear friends tonight ❤️
Happy 100th anniversary ALH and GEJ - we remember you

#Februarty day 6 theme is eyes. This is J59 Sxwyeqólh (Swee-a-kosh) Southern Resident killer whale Orca calf born in 2022. I stitched her and she sold at a show.
Orca eyes are tricky, tiny, black on black and very expressive.
Hand dyed silk and velvet, silk thread embroidery 🪡🧵

Day 2 of #februarty theme is shoes - here are some of the hand stitched baby shoes I’ve embroidered over the years. As a tiny bit of magic #floriography I sometimes stitch with yarrow for protection 🌿

I do like a vintage thrift find “Jesus knocking at the door” picture but I’m discerning - I prefer the lenticular version
