My 12 year old sent me a photo of flares that she wanted that could have been ripped from my college wardrobe. I’m gonna diminish and go into The West now.

I sell vintage (not especially well but it’s fun) and the times I have kicked past me for getting rid of something that’s back in style now is many times.

A collection of linen napkins with small embroidered flowers on them. The napkins are filed neatly in the original box.

I love finding new old stock linens. These embroidered linen serviette napkins are still neatly folded in the box from Joseph Horne Co. one of Pittsburgh, PA’s famous, now defunct department stores. Will be listing them later today.

They have more gravity when they do that I think

A very large orange cat sitting curled up on a bed.

We had to take this absolute unit to the vet early this week because he wasn’t eating. The treatment course seems to be working and he’s acting his normal slightly obnoxious self. Fingers crossed we resolved the issue. Also he weighs 23 pounds!! We don’t over feed him he’s just like that 😆

Oh just one more little craft? What can it hurt? 😆

Thank you for the help!

A photo of a lace edged handkerchief on a wooden table.

A close up of the lacework on a handmade lace handkerchief. The lace technique is tatting which has created a pattern of fine mesh weaving with floral motifs.

I’m not usually a lace girly so it took me a while to research but I’m 99% sure this lace edge handkerchief is all tatted lace? Happy to be corrected if not but wow the intricacy is breaking my brain. It’s up at Reneesance.Etsy.com

Yuuuuup

French *knot, not knit. Sigh.

A closeup of a white linen tablecloth with a pattern of half inch wide daisy fliers I. Pink and green embroidery floss. Each has a French knot at the center of the daisy.

A white linen tablecloth with a twined ribbon pattern in a large oval across the cloth. each ribbon is made of thousands of small embroidered flowers.

I have no patience for embroidery so the idea of stitching literally thousands of tiny daisies with French knit centers boggles my mind. This beauty is currently on the Etsy shop!

It's annoying that we already had so many existing problems to solve before these assholes created a bunch of new ones for no reason

Oh hell yes

A book cover for Bodies of Magic by Freya Markse. A deep blue building with a quadrangle, spires and cloisters fills the lower half of the cover with the title text in gold across it. Behind that, the upper background is grey and stormy with a prominent twisting white design that could be a bare tree rising up from the main tower OR an anatomical diagram of the lungs. Centered above the lung-tree are the words DO NO HARM in stark white. Honestly: a complete banger of a cover. Doesn't it make you want to preorder? Yes, yes it does.

BODIES OF MAGIC, out Sept 2026: Grey's Anatomy meets A Deadly Education, a mystery set during the final exam week of a magical medical school. (Or: five queer nerds solve a murder and have some feelings.)

Cover design by Jamie Stafford-Hill.

Uggghh

A large orange cat laying in its back with paws in the air. His mouth is open wide, very menacing?

Carson would like to remind you to be a menace this year.

Gimme!! Book, graphic novel, podcast, I want it!

A photo with a cat in the foreground sitting on a human’s lap. Her eyes are squinting and she seems unpleased (this is a lie). In the background out of focus is a Christmas tree with multicolored lights, it is reflected in the glass patio door beside it.

She’s not impressed with my festive bullshit.

Oh heck yeah putting this into the rotation

Oooh tell me about Japanese Hamburg?

The person who created this is danged impressive.

Oh for sure, I spike myself with a needle at least once no matter what

I sew them on individually to keep them in place, I’ve done pins before but I feel like it’s not as secure!

A trans pride pirate hat sitting on a white upholstered chair. The hat is lavender wool felt with ribbon and trim in pink, light blue, and white.

Haven’t been posting much but had a good Halloween season of making pirate hats. Still trying to find a good spot in the new house to take photos

A view looking up into the sky with a circle of treetops surrounding a patch of fluffy white clouds.

Spent pennsic having too much fun to take many photos as usual. One of my favorite bits is the view from my camp’s outdoor shower.

We have a big over stimulated orange boy too, after 3 years he’s calmed down a lot and knows he’s safe with us but still has to give occasional swats to make sure we appreciate his boundaries.
