Fun! I’ve been wanting to make a mushie guy 🍄

Photo of a half-done plushie and a cake of multicolored brown yarn in someone’s lap. Plushie has one eye and ear visible and will later become a cow.

Mini Cow! 😊🐮

Photo with flash of multitone blue and green granny square against brown background

I was enjoying some early morning crochet while finishing up my latest thriller audiobook read and got a kick out of the color similarities between the cover and granny square 😊 #crochet #crochetsky #booksky

A yellow and purple crochet rose resemling the inter flag and a crochet butterfly in the same colour scheme. Next to them a label with a hand print and the text Stop genderbased violence #rosesagainstviolence

Happy Intersex Awareness Day
💛💜💛💜💛
The inter rose is my favourite #rosesagainstviolence variation i made so far. It just resembles the flag so well.
And a cute butterfly, because ... why not?

I learned to crochet basic granny squares yesterday and am loving how this one skein of thrifted wool is creating so many unique squares 😍 #crochet #crochetsky #fiberarts #thrifted #naturalfibers

Black cat laying on the ground next to two crochet loaf cats, one white and one black

The thing that makes me the maddest about this photo is that it 100% looks like I staged the loaf cats next to my cat intentionally and did not capture the fact that I was taking a photo of them and my cat came and plopped down like she was one of them

How fun!

Lovely! ✨

Happy International Repair Day!

This is one of my favourite repairs.

I’m spending the day teaching darning, which feels very appropriate!

Late night sewing- sewed a baby blanket 🪡. I thought the fabric looked magical with the backlighting ✨ the fabric is deadstock from a secondhand website 💕 #sewsky #sewing #cozycrafting #sustainability

Oh how lovely!

Photo. Small square of sample fabric in a sage green fuzzy pattern with embroidered edges in a thread that transitions between green, brown, burgundy, and pink.

I got a cute fuzzy trilayer fabric scrap sample along with my pup’s new toy and thought it was so cute how it looks like mowed grass. I found the perfect leftover embroidery thread in my stash to go over the raw edges with! Thinking to make a cute little patch 🌱

A pink and blue bead lizard, made from small glass seed beads and thread, in the style of the kinds typically made from plastic pony beads. It is sitting on a dark wash denim jacket breast pocket flap.

Holding a laundry vigil so I decided to make a little guy to sew onto my jacket breast pocket. Easy enough if you happen to have steady hands and super cute, the classic pattern scales 1:1 from the plastic pony bead version

Photo of a woobles crochet kit with “Felix the fox” depicted in orange, white, and black, in a green background, held up alongside a crocheted fox similar to the image on the kit

Photo of a crocheted fox, the size of a medium potato, held up in a white woman’s hand. The fox has ears, eyes, a nose, a tail, and a white circular belly.

As I’m learning to #crochet, I made my first stuffed animal 😊🦊 I got this kit #secondhand on #depop for a third of the original price, including shipping 💌 he came out a little wonky but I had fun!

How beautiful! Makes me think of fish scales
