As of today, I am 99% done with my first traditional painting in 8 years! It felt so great to work with paint again after all this time. Just have to wait a while for it to try so it can be mounted on an oval wood panel and varnished.

Some very ebullient grapes sizzle over the more pedestrian plums in this beautiful still life from 1762 by Luis Egidio Melendez. It's his day today.

Currently in bed, cuddling my cat, drinking coffee, listening to it pour outside, and finishing An Unkindness of Ghosts. Today is going to be a good day.

This triptych is chock full of grumpy saints and angels. Nothing cheerful about heaven, according to Simone Martini in the 1320s. Today was his day.

I finally finished this knitting project after abandoning it for a couple months. I’m so happy with how it turned out! I already want to make another one.

“Knitting is such a relaxing hobby!” I say as I curse and rip out the beginning of my project for the fourth time bc I’m a silly bitch who misread sizing instructions

Today I reported a fire via 911 while merging through 2 lanes of zippered construction traffic on the freeway, deleted my Facebook account, and cancelled my hbo/hulu/disney subscription. I’m feeling very accomplished.

I finished Katabasis and unfortunately, the more I think and dwell on it, the more I dislike it. Ugh.

I have spent approximately 7000 hours unraveling and re-knitting the bottom hem of my Iris top and if it doesn’t fit this time, I just might cry.

Not really sure how I was able to get my hands on this copy of Among the Burning Flowers so early?? This is one of my most anticipated reads of the year! Samantha Shannon never disappoints. And the illustrations in here are so gorgeous.

Whose woods these are I think I know: Caspar David Friedrich, born OTD 1774. Evocative & mysterious painting. Why is the soldier stopping on a snowy evening?

I was sick and tired of using a flattened la croix box to protect my kobo while out and about so I made this pouch out of a thrifted sweatshirt! This is my very first finished sewing project after not touching a sewing machine in about a decade. Making stuff is so satisfying ✨
