I finished a passion project that started last year and debuted it at Pride yesterday. I wanted to combine my love of floriography with my skills as a felt artist, so I created a floriography Pride flag where each stem was chosen for its meaning or significance to the queer community.
Made some new stamps to use for stickers so people can point out slop.
Pride prep is well underway. Just made this zine exchange station for the booth I’m going to have with @eclecticclay.com.
Because no family (sans spouse) follows me on here: Happy Yeeterus!

Land in MN and immediately hear @nurdrocks.bsky.social on the radio in the shuttle. You know this is gonna be a good trip.
TMW you turn on the Sox-Padres game and Orsillo is making calls, Pivetta is pitching, and Bogey is up at bat. But then you realize that’s the Padres feed. Sigh.
The Pride festival is done and I’m going to do some reevaluating of craft business stuff. Mostly, I’m excited to have the opportunity to focus on writing again.
Working on some brick face designs. Trying to decide if the Christopher Street design should say something like “party like it’s Christopher St in 1969” in a “pick up a brick and keep fighting” way not in a “woooo” way.
Sold out of books at the first Pride event of the season. Hopefully that’s a good omen of the season to come.
Got my first event of the Pride season tomorrow. My stuff is always queer, but even more so in June. These hoops have been a fun little new project to facilitate my carpal tunnel.

2 days until Pride, and the release of the Pride Eels! Locals will have the chance to get their eels at CNY Pride - @pipdolyn.bsky.social of The Studio At Longview Hill will be hosting a set of eels on June 21st! Unadopted eels will go online June 23rd. Visit www.cnypride.org for more info.
Today, at work, I get to host a craft day centered around queer history and DIY projects. We’re going to be making zines, pressing protest buttons/pins/badges, and block printing using styrofoam and/or lego. It’s open to anyone. Fingers crossed it goes well.
I am 5 sales away from my next goal. I’d love to hit it before June. Looking for something to read? The Dandelion & The Thistle is a queer & trans romance features two artists who meet at a craft show and fall in love over the course of a summer. Pick up your copy today: pipdolyn.com/tdatt

5 days to Pride, and the release of the Pride Eels! Today's repost features Pansexual Pride and Transgender Pride. The trans eels are where this all started; I owe my friend @pipdolyn.bsky.social a lot for the inspiration!
I will have two cups for each flag. One will be available online starting June 1st, and one will be available at @pipdolyn.bsky.social's tent at the CNY Pride Festival June 21st. So far I have made the following flags - Gay, Bi, Pan, Lesbian, and Trans. I am also planning Ace and Non-Binary. 🧵2/5
I am 29 sales away from having sold 300 copies of The Dandelion & The Thistle. I would love to hit this by the end of the month (in time for pride).
I’m going to be a signing author at RomantiConn. I’m so excited to get to go share my story with more readers and network with other authors.
Gotta love those night before show pushes. Working to get this final trope bouquet put together. It’s gorgeous so far and I am smitten.
This was a fun one to make. Introducing the Grumpy X Sunshine bouquet.
Transgender Pride Eels! These guys have been in my head forever, and it feels good to finally get them out. Unlike my other eels, these guys feel no anxiety, only joy, which is exactly as it should be. 🏳️⚧️
