I did it! At long last, I have finished row 7 (of 8) of my doily! Thanks, all day in person meeting! It's messy but I'm happy with it, especially as a practice piece. 💕 #tatting

COVER REVEAL AND RELEASE

WE WILL SPEAK AGAIN OF THE RED TOWER is a tribute anthology of stories inspired by Thomas Ligotti’s “The Red Tower” and it’s out NOW: dl.bookfunnel.com/zum1k2dg9b

Of COURSE I did this in the expensive imported italian cotton, need you even ask? And no, I do NOT have enough to recut anything! Sighs, puts face in hands. My hubris.

Kids, do your mockups, even when you've made a pattern before... I sized up on the Kalina blouse because my bust measurement has changed, and the sleeve fit is absolutely miserable. :( Insult to injury, my own dumb ass put the waist ties like an inch too high so I have to redo that, too. #sewing

I have so many projects going, but one of them made me extremely frustrated (at myself, mea culpa for not doing a mockup)... Maybe I should go back to my tatting 8V (I will eventually but not today)

The skirt, completed!

Just a heads up to search LibGen itself, not use the Atlantic's site. My books didn’t pop up under the latter

Patchwork!

WHY? On July 2025, Steam, a popular storefront to purchase games on PC, and itch.io, a storefront that sells games, comics, tools, resources and much more, have recently delisted several NSFW games, after the group Collective Shout published an open letter to payment processors such as Visa, MasterCard, PayPal, and more. As a result of this letter, payment processors have strongarmed Valve and itch.io into enforcing restrictive new TOS policies on what kind of content their platforms can host and sell. Visa, Mastercard, Stripe and Paypal have been censoring free speech and legal business on the internet for TOO LONG. Their most recent targets are Steam and Itch.io, but they have also been pressuring websites like Pixiv, Patreon, Fansly, Onlyfans and MORE for years, applying draconian standards for what kind of adult/pornographic content platiorms and their users can host and sell. If we as consumers and creators want to regain ground on this issue, we have to make our voice heard. HOW? BOMBARD THEM WITH PHONE CALLS Collective Shout, the organization that lobbied to have Steam and Itch.io change their TOS, did so with only around 1000 phone calls. Visa and MC have backed down from pressuring Onlyians to remove adult content entirely due to public backlash. Clogging their phone lines for an extended perlou, over a mont at the absolute least, will almost gudrantee that these compantes will at least have to pay attention to the backlash. this list is not exhaustive. but some contact points for the 4 targets are: 1. VISA: (US + Can): +1 [8001-847-2911 US option selection for operator: 1-1-2 or 1-1-3 2. MASTERCARD: (US): +1 (8001-307-7309 US option selection for operator: 1-1-2-2-2-1 Phone (outside US): 1-636-722-7111 3.

MAKE YOUR CALLS!!!

Sign I need to cool it on the crochet and switch to working on doll clothes or something for a while: my thumb is sore where the first knuckle is.... AND the second. Oops. On the plus side, the front of my yoke is done!

baby's first plant swap went really well AND I met another plant goth

I FINISHED IT #filetcrochet #crochet

Thank you!! It's really simple but there's a deceptive amount of finesse involved, so I'm having a lot of fun. I have done a massive ramp up in size from these test bits to the proper Piece I'm doing now, and let me tell you: I am experiencing the full force of my hubris. Fun though!!

It's exactly the right difficulty for me level of skill with crochet, which is: low. I haven't done it at all since I was a kid, but this is extremely simple for how pretty it is when worked well! (my examples notwithstanding)

filet crochet with a bow motif worked in red yarn

filet crochet rose motif worked in a dusty pink yarn

two filet crochet motifs side by side; a skull worked in dusty pink yarn on the left and a cat worked in white yarn on the right

I arise from my grave to share the new fiber art that's eating my brain: filet crochet! I've been wanting to learn for a while now & I'm on a boring bit of my doily tatting so I finally decided to commit (also I already have lace yarn & tiny hooks)!! here's my practice motifs #crochet

Sharing my own post from my hobby alt just to prove I'm not dead.

Classical painting of a young woman intently crocheting, with added meme text labeling her 'me' and the yarn as 'all granny hobbies', humorously highlighting a love for traditional crafts.

My motto lately:
More thread, less dread. 🪡

We’re excited to announce that Ume, our adorable three-month-old tapir calf, is ready to begin exploring her public habitat at the Asian Forest Sanctuary, starting tomorrow, Friday, May 16, at 10:30 am alongside her mom, Yuna!

Listening to my spouse play Clair Obscur, and even though it's not THAT similar, just gonna say: everyone should read The Neverending Story. I love the movie a lot but the book (which I read long after) is so much better

Tiny tapir makes big splash! Ume, our 3-month-old tapir calf, has officially passed swim class with flying colors! 💦

She took her very first swim while exploring her outdoor habitat alongside her #1 swim coach and mom, Yuna.

Graceful, determined, a little splashy, majestic water potato.

I spent too much time making little care cards to go with my peperomia leaf cuttings I brought to the work plant swap today... so I'm really happy people loved them lol

oh my God I love this!!

"Mother, I am in love with a robot."

my tribute to Tanith Lee's The Silver Metal Lover 🤍

Screenshot from the reel drama Fated to the Alpha. A girl in a school uniform teases another girl, saying, "What did you do this time..."

"...you little defect wolf?" Another girl sits awkwardly at a lunch table.

The bully girl throws a whole bottle of mustard at her, yelling, "Go eat some hotdogs!" The picture is of the girl flinching, the mustard bottle mid-flight. Line delivery bad.

The bully laughs.

Spring

SHE'S GOING FOR IT... THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION TO THE WINDOWS lol

My spider plant is blooming!! I hope this means she's getting enough light and not that she's way too root bound lol I'm still new to Plants

Oh man, good luck--and if it works, do share. I'm the same way lol
