You like to sketch it all out first so you always know where you're headed. OR: Pantser (drawing of pants with wings): You prefer to wing it! You like to dive in headfirst and figure things out by the seat of your pants. NaNo2.0 logo in corner with blue bubble outline and fountain pen nib.

Writers come in many flavors: some w/color-coded spreadsheets, some w/a flair for chaos & a dream. 😎 Which are you? Knowing your style is half the battle!

We all know ‘tragedy’ comes from Greek.

‘tragos’ = goat

‘aeidein’ = to sing

So ‘tragedy’ originally meant “goat song.”

Not to be confused with the GOAT song, which is probably “Fast Car” by Tracy Chapman.

That one time I made a bag for my girlfriend and was up way too late to get it done before travelling to see her.

It's made of an old pair of jeans with a pop of colour inside. #bagmaking #sewing

After spending 16 days with my favourite person it feels really empty and cold being home again. 💔

The last furniture is in place and now for the final touches to my bedroom. (Some more framed pictures and a bed skirt is needed) then it's just the rest of the flat left.

Training for my marathon of being potato

Decent photo of the month.

It's absolutely fantastic. I just sewed a bag. It was a breeze after my old machine. I'm so happy with my juki 😍

Welcome to the family Juki hzl-dx5. We're gonna have so much fun together. 💜

Pieces of fabric wrapped pieces of paper, some of them sewn together in a intricate pattern.

Trying the English paper piecing stuff. It's pretty fun after all the boring prep. 😄 #epp #englishpaperpiecing

Bedroom is a forest cave. It's so dark. 🥰

Now it's just getting art up, sew the headboard and bed skirt and paint and fix the rest of the furniture and doing something on the wardrobe doors.

Hellllppp. I'm trapped.

It has begun. Bedroom gonna be a forest cave 🥰

Capitalism is a cancer in society.

I think I just have to adjust the feed dogs. I've gathered the supplies needed now. I'll drench the nut with oil and see if I can adjust this myself. Otherwise I'll have to buy a new one. 😅

A meme with bert and ernie from sesame street. Bert looks kinda angry while three other muppets are talking. Over Berts head is the text "me" and the screaming muppets have "stuff I need to do", "special interests" and "chronic fatigue" in text over their heads

This me

The inside of a sewing machine

One week without my sewing machine and it's still broken. I don't have the right tools. 😭

I tried being serious goose once, worst 10 minutes of my life. #sillygoosesociety

Unless I am myself, I am nobody. A quote from Virginia Wolf

This quote resonates with me.
Who am I if I'm not myself.
An empty shell, a shadow of who I should be.

Honestly, it feels like my life is over 😆 *dramatic*

A view from a window. Some snow covered roofs and parts of a tree. It's a mellow blueish mood. Lots and lots of snow

It's been snowing for like 16h. I'm an indoor cat today. Not stepping out in this chaos. My sewing machine is broken and I can't fix it. 😒

Please remember this.

Is...he standing on a rose pattern? 😱

Wooow! That is stunning! 😍

My feed dogs broke yesterday and won't come back up. 😭 I'll see if I can fix it. #sewingmachine
