It was a bleak evening here indeed. What a disaster we are watching unfold before our eyes.

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns.

100% of his salary is paid by WA state.

Elon fired him. Share his story.

Funerals are for the living. Do what is right for your living self.

Kindness or Decency. Inclusion. I’m bad at single answers, haha

#needlepoint can be done camera off in meetings… I see potential for increasing crafting hours. Plus some Brick Stitch for a change of pace.

You all are in my thoughts. Every day. Thank you for doing the right thing, at tremendous cost. x

Like many crafters in this space, I was looking for an alternative to doom scrolling. The news keep coming. Ofall the horrifying things, the brutal attacks on our Trans community upset me the most. So. Here’s some lousy #needlepoint jammed with love. #love #trans #ally

Giving #Needlepoint a spin this weekend. Do not hate the incredible uniformity of the stitches. This is something I really struggle with in #embroidery. But rawdogging this design without marking the canvas is kinda wild. #wip

Hey! So I built up the moss using two layers of felt cut in contours and then mostly used a three-wrap French Knot. Moss is a two tone wool/acrylic blend and the bud things (I should actually look up their name!) are in this INSANE velvet thread that feels like suede.

I started this one a while back, inspired by a photo of moss here on Bluesky. I stalled out, unhappy with the first little tendril thingie. This morning I just got them done. Ooh, said my friend, Broccoli!! #embroidery #nature

The Christmas presents were completed before the end of Jan. Feels like a win… One of them took a minute. My children are different. #gojira #lebron #handmade

Decided to knock out a simpler project and learned some new stitches in the process. Slowly, slowly… #embroidery #wip #hooklineandtinker

Oh my god. Why is getting the stitches even so hard?

This is gorgeous. It’s also so cool to see yourself improve, isn’t it? Can’t wait to see this when you’re all done.

Wow. 10 hours gives some perspective on total time here too.

When the boys were small, I had them write their names and embroidered them onto Christmas stockings. #2 was very young, and a few years later decided he could do a better job. Time to finally embroider this side. So I can wash it! #wip #embroidery
