I see your long bean and raise you Long Squash! (this photo is over a week old; Long Squash is currently much fatter and even longer)

Started this mandala Sunday afternoon. It's now midnight on Tues. Approx 20 hrs in with ??? more to go. It's gonna be 10x10 in² by the time I finish.

Pattern by Crazy Bee Patterns on Etsy!

Thanks for being such a bright light in this world, Andrea. I'm at a loss for words, so I hope you'll understand if I borrow a few of yours.

metallic thread is the brat of all threads but I made it do what I want (with quite a bit of coaxing)

Stunning. Vibrant. I can't believe I made this with my own two hands. (And some thread. And a needle.)

roommate and I made an insulated bed for our sweet feral baby boy and he slept in it!!!

Glinda was right, it was an AWFULLY long way to go ✨️Finished this yesterday and am super proud of myself. 40 hrs over 4 weeks!

have uncovered 50% of the BotW map in the last week, since abandoning the game a year ago with a fraction explored. I still feel so small in this big, big world.
