I'm putting a team together! Let me know if you'd like to be involved as I start research and get excited about taking the first steps towards opening my own book shop. This is something I'm taking deadly seriously so any support from my bookish community will be really helpful!

First cross stitch of 2026 and I am obsessed with it!! 🐝 I tweaked the pattern The Humble Bee by DominionSisters 🧵🪡

That is a lot of news to wake up to.

My best friend and I are gifting each other books at the beginning of each month throughout 2026 and I am SO EXCITED! We added the challenge of only being able to swap books found at used book stores too. For January I received The Scarlet Pimpernel 📚

It’s that time of the year where I gather up all of my clothing projects and do a sewing sprint! While getting through all of these is over ambitious, I think I can knock out half 🧵

Did a double whammy of changing my profile pic and name at the same time. If I seem like an over familiar stranger in your replies, I’m probably not! Still the same person who overshares on crochet, cross stitch, and cats! 🧶🪡🐈‍⬛

A repost... 'Humpty' ~ Wooden spoon carved in Basswood with broken eggshells and pigment. Base was Bald Cypress... (maybe). Same joke as last time.. Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall Humpty Dumpty had a great fall Followed by a brutal winter #spoon #humpty #spoontaneous #woodworking #sculpture

Happy Halloween!! I have dressed up as a Spotted Lanternfly for work today—what’s spookier than an invasive species threatening your native biome??

I passed by a woman walking what I thought were dogs, but upon closer inspection they were two small, chipper goats. I love this for her.

A repost... 'Loopy' ~ Wooden spoon carved in Sapele wood with Holly overlay. Loopy not only describes the spoon.. but also the maker after he realized he could have much more easily carved the Holly BEFORE laminating. #spoon #spoontaneous #woodworking #woodenspoon #carving #sculpture #woodart

I love celebrating spooky season by completing a stitch each October and this year I enjoyed a cute cat and pumpkin cross stitch from CrystalFeatherCrafts on Etsy 🧵🪡

[forest] ME: omg there’s a wolf WIFE: where? ME: no the regular kind

I don't normally do this, but I've been burning the candle at both ends. Other half had a major op earlier this year and now I'm in hospital for an investigation. Regardless of what's wrong, I need rest, but I've had little work this year. I'd appreciate if anyone is able to help out.

Repost... 'Ophidia' ~ Wooden spoon carved in (maybe dyed) Lacewood, display stand I think was ebonized Walnut wood. This was by far the largest of the Snake Spoon series. #spoon #spoontaneous #art #craft #woodworking #design #woodenspoon #carving #snake #wood #sculpture 🥄

When people say "We used to drink raw milk from our own cow and it was fine," That's... usually not the case! In families w their own cow, the mom usually boiled it before using. We just forgot bc that's a boring chore that mom did. And who pays attention to that? youtu.be/vKDPast9WFk

I have space in September for a proofreading project! - I'm really enjoying proofreading romance/er0tica at the moment, but I'm also on the look out for fantasy/sci-fi. - Any length, but obviously longer pieces will take me longer to work through! - DM to inquire! #Booksky

Imagine the complicated and precious genius of the girl who made this embroidery sampler in 1811 The Solar System, sampler, unknown maker, 1811, England. Museum no. T.92-1939. Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

I have a new Mystery Neighbor who is adding excellent books to our neighborhood Little Free Library and I want to figure out who they are so I can befriend them 👀

Speaking of cozy vibes... I was going to wait until September for this but I want it nowwww. Autumn reading bingo is BACK and this time it's cozy. 📚💙

Added a dollop of gochujang to carbonara that I made for dinner tonight—SO GOOD 🤤

I am currently trying out a handful of local book clubs and the one I went to today is hosted in a bookstore with a bookstore cat and this cat came up and slept on me for most of the book club 😭💕

Bookshelf cat gazes down upon us, asking that we read something in our physical TBR 📚

Whoa, Color Holes by mrsciccoricco on Instagram #embroidery 🧶🧵🪡

We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

it does not matter how good you make your game’s block/parry system; I will not use it. My defense is “punch more.” I cannot be taught

My second piece of news is in two parts: A preview of NQO is available on the @srlpublishing.bsky.social website! 🔗 And: You can now buy the ebook direct from the publisher! Support indie presses 📚💙 Chapter One – Not Quite Out - SRL Publishing share.google/ATsmWWPkc23M...

The cross stitched Link to the Past light world map is complete!! Nearly 2 full years worth of work and a pattern ticked off my cross stitch bucket list! Now, how long do I wait before starting the dark world map… #crossstitch

Finished a crochet granny square bag and chose a sunflower motif for the colors. My handsomest little man is a fan 🧶🧵🪡 Pattern: www.mamainastitch.com/magnolia-gra...

I see we are having a/c discourse today my friends, respectfully, this is 101 level climate discourse staying cool saves lives and you do not need to feel guilty about it. promise. no one benefits from your a/c guilt, least of all the planet also heat pumps that both heat and cool are so great

AC is SO MUCH EASIER to decarbonize than heating...we're already like halfway to carbon free AC in the US, while heat is like 10% of the way there.

I just learned today that the US National Park Service has free crochet patterns on its site - from a lighthouse to fish and other critters and even a lava flow. Enjoy! www.nps.gov/search/?quer... #crochet 🧶

She may not photograph prettily, but she was delicious 🍌🍫🥞 (If you enjoy bananas with your pancakes I HIGHLY recommend pressing some slices into your batter after it’s been scooped into the hot pan but before you do the first spatula flip)

My joyful Tuesday evening consisted of baking a coconut cake with chocolate frosting, crocheting, and watching knitting videos. I think now I’ll grab a cat and curl up to read a book to hit hobby bingo 🍰🧶

Alright, bluesky. Let's get serious. I'm starting therapy and I'd like to be able to pay for it! Throughout June I'll proofread your original writing (any genre but not gen AI) for only £0.005/word. Contact me to ask questions and book a slot!
