Found this childhood picture with my grandpa at his loom. He wove rag rugs, and I remember helping cut strips of fabric for weaving when I visited. This weekend, I started rug weaving with recycled denim.

Realized I took a pic of a #TourdeFleece skein from a couple days ago and forgot to post it. I love the subtle bi pride color pooling that’s happening in this one.
Day 4 #TourdeFleece Working on a merino/bamboo blend. 2oz down, 2 to go, then I plan to spin the grey merino in the pic and ply both together.
Today is the start of Tour de Fleece (goal is to spin fiber every day the Tour de France rides). My personal goal is to get through as many of these fiber braids as I can.

Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie Please Quote this with your most minor celebrity interaction
Had some fun with the 3D printer tricking out my espinner with custom accessories, and they look so lovely with this fiber color

In other news, I discovered my town has a creative reuse center (goodwill but for crafts) and I just unloaded a decade’s worth of art supplies there.
Just got a B&N email with “Dramione-inspired fiction” and I miss the days when fanfic-inspired stuff was more of a wink-nudge thing that wasn’t openly advertised
If I’m not posting as much about politics, it’s not that I don’t care. It’s just that I am utterly exhausted and trying to preserve and control what I can. I can only let so much rage in before it consumes me. So my focus is on creating, imagining, and loving as fiercely as I can.
I won a Birdfy bird feeder through a work holiday party and it’s been delightful seeing the birds that visit it. Though I did have to mix cayenne pepper into the seeds to try to prevent the squirrels from eating it all.
Y'all please stop sleeping on Apple TV. The quality is consistent (or I just have great taste) and I really want them to be encouraged to keep doing stuff. Do the sampling
Between January 4 and January 5, you can stream all Apple Originals with no subscription required
#VeilguardSpoilers Considering you can still interact with Teia and Viago if you save Minrathous, I don’t see a huge gameplay benefit (personal Rook motivations or romance path notwithstanding) to saving Treviso. It seems like you’re losing so many Minrathous sidequests and NPCs. 😮💨
Some of these are fascinating 🧐 (who isn’t playing rock paper scissors with Manfred though??)
Reposting for Bsky: Decisions, decisions... 🤔 #DragonAge: The Veilguard is all about tough choices - so we put together this graphic to see which stories our community told! Warning: Spoilers ahead! Which paths did you take? #DragonAgeDay
Me: ok that's everything in the dishwasher *presses start and turns around* Teaspoon: you're not gonna believe this
I'm not particularly superstitious, but I do hold on to this one irrationality: the burning of the goat DOES matter. My argument is that it hasn't burned for years now and shit keeps getting steadily worse. It was eaten by crows last year, but clearly that wasn't good enough.
I needed to scratch the itch to draw Lucanis in this outfit... [ #art | #dragonage | #dragonagetheveilguard | #lucanis ]
My poor cat had to have dental surgery today and get several teeth extracted (including her top fangs) and she’s so hungry but so doped up on anesthetic that she’s face-planting into her food and not able to eat it 😭😭😭
I have so much to do between cleaning the house, working on coursework, and prepping pie crusts and food ahead of thanksgiving, but my dumb little lizard brain is like “what if we started designing our next Rook instead?”
