Heya, crafty folk. Just wondering if anyone knows a good brick and mortar fabric store in Ireland? On-line is all great, but if I'm looking to colour match with a yarn, it's no use at all to me. 🧶
Had my first ever ocular migraine today. Very surreal experience. Thought there was something semi transparent on my eye at first. If it happens again, has anyone got any advice? I didn't enjoy the cluster headache that came after at all. 🧠
Oh no. They're spreading slurry on the farm next door today. No washing line for me!

Look. I'm not superstitious, but, as a sensible Irish person, there's still no way in hell I'd ever consider messing with na dhaoine maithe in any capacity. I'm already suspicious of all the fairy doors everywhere. Last thing anyone needs is more fairy activity.
ceej@ceej.online · 6mo agomy kid came home from kindergarten today and announced she was setting a trap to catch a leprechaun. apparently other kids at school always end up with candy and treats in their annual leprechaun traps, so she’s pretty stoked to see what she gets. I am begging other parents to fucking cool it

huh. Apparently, not using my Twitter account for a couple of years, not logging in, and not touching that fascist, hateful platform with a ten foot barge pole consitiutes "inauthentic behaviour". Seems about right. After all, I'd hate to undermine Twitter's "integrity". Snort.
Every now and then, I accumulate enough yarn balls, half balls, and random impulse purchases to crochet into a floor mat. 🧶 This is my latest, and I adore it. Does anyone else do this as a destash exercise?
I stabbed under my left thumbnail with a hairbrush prong yesterday, and today, my thumb is killing me. RIP, my comfy crochet evening. 😭🧶

All right, crafty folks. I need everyone who sees this to keep a look out for the following shawls. They were lost by FedEx on the way to Barcelona Knits, and have been declared "unrecoverable". 🧶 This is thoussands of euros of work & materials, not to mention their value at Trunk Shows & Workshops.
It's almost one week since our beautiful dog Korra crossed the rainbow bridge, and the reality of those words still leaves me utterly bereft. I'm unmoored, at a total loss. She was everything; a big silly goof, a philosopher, a shiny new soul we were entrusted with on earth. My heart is broken.
