A frog with a vacant stare sits upon a leaf. Its posture is abnormally upright. Flies buzz above while snot drips out its nose.

Embroidery of a little girl holding a drooping American flag and looking sad. Text reads: I’m just so pissappointed.

New favorite word for my general feelings.

Gene Hackman dying seems a good time to tell you that Sam Raimi made a western called The Quick and the Dead, absolutely every cool actor is in it, Hackman destroys in every scene as the Big Bad, and for weird reasons 1995 America decided it was bad and erased it from memory

Out of my Weaponized Cuteness, here are the top 4 so far! ✨

Did you know that Delftware was originally created in the 17th century as an imitation of Chinese porcelain? Dutch traders loved the blue ceramics but couldn’t produce real porcelain, so they made a cheaper earthenware version.

A cat in a sailor uniform playing with a boat made of tree bark. It’s reaching towards water from a rock. There’s bed of reeds behind it.

Art isn’t just for show—it’s the hours of unseen effort, the quiet practice before the performance. Like a pianist mastering a ballad, true artistry comes from the work you do when no one is watching.

That work is what makes the performance appear effortless.

The funniest thing I’ve done in my embroidery career is photoshopping my art in pictures of Adam Driver. (Which I started doing because of @sunshinenoptimism.bsky.social)

Armadillos and Cactaceae🌿✨

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more

I am too broke for my skin to be this sensitive to unhealthy and cheap fabrics.
