Just Von, sometimes Mama Von, sometimes Nonnie, always crochet and embroidery and needle felting. Make art accessible for all!
Rob is in his emo phase and wishes that I listened to a lot more of The Cure than I do.

Yeah, this is supposed to be a heck of a heat wave. Now they are saying that Monday will be 90F/32C. UUUUUUUUGGGGHHHHHHH. (Credit to Indigo Threads for the funny.)

This is how I make it through the week, both the act of embroidery and the sentiment expressed.

It's Wednesday, April 16th, and below is my current situation. Yes, that's snow. It's not sticking much, but it's still coming down. The predicted high will be an astounding 32F/0C.

Oh Upstate, you are never dull. Good think I haven't packed up my sweaters yet.

Happy Friday, Skylings!!! It's a warm (relative to Tuesday) morning with a predicted high of 45F/7C. It's going to rain all weekend, but as a former PNWer, that's no issue for me. It makes my daffodils happy.

I actually managed to stitch last night, so obviously my mood is improving! #embroidery

How about a Chihuahua belly? It always distracts me.

The first Thin Mint of the season. Delightful.

This right here is my heart and my soul. She keeps me going.

This little bundle of heat, sleep, bark, and love had my heart.

These are my emotional support chickens, and an emotional support Dino in progress.

It's a chicken. Adapted from a pattern from craftpassion.com

Adorable cats, you say?

My sanity...?

But seriously, I'm working on a cute little piece from Mollie Johanson and I love it. I also plan on working more on setting up my sewing space so I can work on my crazy quilt squares.

It's what we call a French Girl pose...

Rob Anybody is very adorable and thanks you for noticing. (Description: small black and white terrier with black around his eyes and one black ear and one white ear, both floppy.)

Dough would like you to know that your bed is very comfortable, thank you. (Description: large orange dilute Tabby looking at the camera with one paw kneading and his tail in the air.)

Captain Carrot wishes you would paint him like one of your French girls. (Pictured: Orange Chihuahua laying on his back propped up on a Totoro pillow exposing his whole pink belly.)

Strega No-No fell asleep while grooming. She stayed like this for at least 15 minutes.
