occasional weekend marches in pockets of places isn't enough

... I'm still of the mind that the whole nation should "shut down" to protest the current government ... a nationwide general strike

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

Sunset the Seahorse
YouTube video by Sephaar's Cirque du Crochet Sunset the Seahorse

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

Meet โ€œBriarโ€

Briar shows us that itโ€™s okay to be different ๐Ÿฅฐ
Not everything has to be colourful or โ€œprettyโ€ โ€ฆ
We can be a little dark and / or strange โ€ฆ
and we can like things that may seem weird to others
We donโ€™t have to โ€œfit inโ€, we can stand out โค๏ธ

Baaaphometโ€™s Ballad

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

With a grin sharp enough to slice the silence, Art the Clown is definitely cut out for Halloween shenanigans.

He came, he saw โ€ฆ 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.

Petition e-6679 - Petitions

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

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

This 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

Sephaarโ€™s Cirque du Crochet

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 wouldnโ€™t 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.

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 patternsโ€”many 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 Iโ€™d ever get through my collection! It seems that in crochet circles, the hobby is threefold: collecting patterns, hoarding yarn, and actually crocheting.

Recently, Iโ€™ve 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. Itโ€™s one of the few activities I can engage in, even during downswings. Itโ€™s like my form of meditation.

So - this is my circus, and these are "my monkeys." Feel free to explore Sephaar's Cirque du Crochet.
