yeah - it'll be uncomfortable and inconvenient - but much more so for **them** ... the government is supposed to work FOR the people, that House is NOT HIS HOUSE
From tidepool to twilight, this little seahorse drifts in with colors kissed by the last rays of the setting sun
Gentle, whimsical, one-of-a-kind. Sunset is a reminder that even the smallest creatures can carry the magic of the ocean wherever they go

Baaaphometโs Ballad
Spun from sugar, wool, and night,
A faeโs small prank by lantern light.
The cotton candy hummed, then popped ...
Out came a sheep who never stopped!

Step right up โฆ as the midway grows darker, look whoโs just chopping by!
With a grin sharp enough to slice the silence, Art the Clown is definitely cut out for Halloween shenanigans.
He came, he saw โฆ and at the Cirque du Crochet, it might just cost you an arm and a leg!

I used a pattern (mentioned below) as a baseline, but then I made quite a bit of modifications to the pattern and some "winging" it to get final result

Witness the dental drama of a lifetime: a cautionary tale of sugary neglect, and a celebration of self care! No pattern for this Bicuspid Buddy, I just wanted to make something to fidget with at the dentist office.

Just putting this out there again - Our leaders need to be held to a higher standard than the "average person"
There should be accountability for knowingly making false claims, spreading misinformation, and outright lies - regardless of what "side" they're on Can
www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...
people are going to have to get uncomfortable and cause some real disruption (even when it's not 'convenient') if they want to make a difference and see some real change
29.08.2025 16:13 โ ๐ 2 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0This is fantastic and all - but this needs to happen more than just occasional weekends and holidays
It should be all-day every-day nation wide
Bring *everything* to a halt - that can't be ignored / glossed over / or suppressed

Welcome to Sephaar's Cirque du Crochet! My name is Christina, and I'm the "Ringleader" (Fiber Artist) of this Cirque du Crochet. I consider myself a small-time crochet hobbyist. While friends and family call me an "artist," I feel like I just know how to follow directions. To me, the real artists are the creators of the patterns and tutorials โ without them, I wouldnโt be able to do what I do! I started learning to crochet in 2013, primarily using YouTube tutorials because reading patterns was overwhelming. For a while, Mikey at The Crochet Crowd was my main tutor. (He's great for beginners, by the way!) As I practiced, I began creating items that resembled something useful. I particularly enjoyed experimenting with different stitches to add texture, eventually mastering some overlay crochet techniques for blankets and covers. I even learned to create my own graphs to incorporate simple images into my projects.
Over time, I became more confident in reading patterns and deciphering all the symbols and acronyms. This opened up a whole new world! Ravelry became my go-to library, and I began collecting patternsโmany of which were well beyond my skillset, but I thought, "Maybe one day!" I've come to realize that, even if I had unlimited materials and could crochet from sunup to sundown, I doubt Iโd ever get through my collection! It seems that in crochet circles, the hobby is threefold: collecting patterns, hoarding yarn, and actually crocheting. Recently, Iโve felt good enough to explore more intricate projects like amigurumi and soft sculpting, which involve additional sewing. Crochet brings me some peace and satisfaction. As someone with ADHD and autistic traits, as well as cPTSD, severe anxiety, and major depressive disorder, (among other things) my mental health can be challenging. But crochet helps. Itโs one of the few activities I can engage in, even during downswings. Itโs like my form of meditation. So - this is my circus, and these are "my monkeys." Feel free to explore Sephaar's Cirque du Crochet.

I made my own graph for this and had no written #pattern to follow. Itโs all just SC (single #crochet) and carrying the colour changes in the stitches.
