I have never lived in such a beautiful place. Something is always blooming.

I read this book for my neighborhood monthly book club. I cried when I finished the last page.

Just wow. Powerful story.

Going on 6 months since I decided to get a hysterectomy. I know that doesn't fully cure endometriosis, but it has significantly improved my quality of life.

If anyone wants to talk about endo or has questions, AMA!

People give me thier old stuff related to sewing. Over the years I found myself with a big collection of sewing history. This is my latest piece. It has an original manual from 1908 😱

Festival sleeves I altered for a Client. Last pic is what they looked like originally.

You know what sucks about big corporations?
They go in small cities, shut down/buyout small specialty businesses and then file for bankruptcy 20 years later. Leaving us with nothing.
Today I bought one of each of all the colors of thread they had left.

Here in Charleston, bridal season is all year - which is a perfect environment for a seamstress. This is my 3rd wedding dress rescue.
Custom corset backing made by me. I also took 12 inches off the bottom hem 😱

My first re upholestry project for 2025.
My perfectionism was eating away at me by the end of this project, but it all came together beautifully.

I recreated 3 custom upholstery covers for cushions, for an rv. Compled with double sided piping.

One of my projects this week. A dance costume makeover. Before it was a one piece, now it's a two piece 😄

What was once a sweatshirt, is now a custom jacket with a hood.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

I found these ridiculous 90s crafting books at a thrift store in FL. I bought a few 😂
I'll report back on what I make.

Took a break from the world and dipped some strawberries with a friend.

Last night I found this pic of me. Almost 21 year old Shannon traveling the US. What I thought would bring memories of heart break, brought feelings of gratitude. Not to the asshole who dumped me that is next to me, but for exploring and breaking out of my small world view. I'm proud of this girl.

Today, I have been shoveling snow and ice off of our front porch and adjacent side walks. I understand now. The disdain for snow. It melted some and refroze last night. It will melt more today and freeze more tonight 😭

Another piece I did from a few semesters ago. I was inspired by an illustration done by Jessie Willcox Smith. #watercolor #softpastel #illustration #art
