Laser cutting a sign to use in my garden plot! Please enjoy the medieval plant babies I found on Wikipedia commons. Finished photo in replies! #Dhmakes

Person who had my garden plot in the past apparently left some garlic bulbs in the soil - a fun surprise that will be used for dinner tonight!

Ooo that’s a great idea! I was also thinking yesterday of putting a piece of colorful tape on the table to use as a mini ruler may help

Join us today 3-3:30pmET for a chill quick zoom by @craftytechwiz.bsky.social: what is tatting & why's it cool? Folks who don't (yet?) ID as crafters welcome too—we're a mix of friendly hoping-to-learn, beginner, +advanced folks, & learning why any making method lights someone up is always neat:

This is tatting :)

Nothing says march like a four leaf (blue) clover! 🍀 #DHmakes

ICYMI, highly recommend this essential report in these harrowing times.

I never knew I had so many things in common with a knitting machine

I only rooted for the Philadelphia Eagles to win the Super Bowl because they were the underdog.

Now that they're declining the WH trip that comes with winning, I might root for them more...

Walnut dye is so much fun to use! This past fall I made black walnut ink and pokeberry ink for funsies. If you have a glass dip pens they’re also fun to use for calligraphy :)

Just signed up! Pay-what-you-can, online 1.5hr class, cheaper supplies ($12), & heard inspiring things about @badasscrossstitch.bsky.social's teaching+crafts=>SJ advocacy at @claudiaeberger.bsky.social's #DHmakes book club about Shannon's book last month +

Throw back to the cake I made last year for #Douglassday - what type of cake should I make this year? 🤔 (info on Douglass day available here douglassday.org)

Petoskey stone holding down loose loom warp

Like many Midwesterners, I respond to extreme stress with excessive crafting. But the most Midwestern thing is that when we screwed up warping the loom we fixed it with a Petoskey stone.

It turned out so good!!

2025 is the year of the Craft Night The radical power of crafting together

I wrote about why 2025 is the year of the craft night! With references to craft & political action, polymer clay pickles, and the cringey legacy of the pussyhat. Be a pal and give it a read?
