Had a great time at the Sunshine Coast National Art Prize! I didn't take home any prizes, although it turns out I was 4 votes off the winner of People's Choice - its both nice to know I almost hit popular vote & will haunt me forever 😂 I left the house & wore a cute outfit, so I think I won!

@lillifurfaro.bsky.social are you planning on putting your Bells Hells songs up on streaming/iTunes so I can buy them and then listen to them all the time along with my M9 & VM ones? 🥹

In very exciting news, I am delighted to be one of the finalists in this year's Sunshine Coast National Art Prize held by the Caloundra Regional Gallery. Patient 46 will be in good company, I am so excited to see multiple other wonderful textiles pieces among the excellent finalists!

Happy Pride Month 2025 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Be gay do crow stuff #pridemonth #pridecrows

I'm ready to start embroidering again, so obvs I did something SO NICHE. Where my Dropout subscribers at?😂 I had to immortalise my fave @smartypantsdotcom.bsky.social presentation in thread- @paulrobalino.bsky.social unhinged lecture on how to 'upgrade' humans. It always makes me laugh til I cry

Welp, my big skele didn't get into the textiles art prize finals. It's a bit of a bummer, but luckily I dont base my self worth on how art prizes work out 😂 I know it's a great piece, & it wouldn't have evolved into as impressive a piece as it is if I didn't intend to enter it, so its still a win!

hi @marisha-ray.bsky.social ! i wrote a song for laudna! easy to lose sight of yourself in all that darkness. a hand to hold helps. thanks 🖤 #CriticalRole @criticalrole.bsky.social youtu.be/3UL87ZThyoI?...

IT IS FINISHED! 346 HOURS LATER IT IS FINISHED! Patient 46, Adult Female, Age 38 is life lived with multiple chronic illnesses and conditions. They are parasitic, feeding on your energy and ability to function, causing you pain and slowly taking you over.

So close, yet so far! Skele is just missing half her arms, a few mushrooms and grey patches and a bunch of text. Approx 3 weeks til it needs to be done to give me time to wash, mount, frame, photograph and submit. It's.........doable 👀 Sitting at 274 hours so far 🙃

New skele update! Ya girl has FINALLY finished the second pattern piece and has almost hit 200 hours work on this big fella! I thought you all might enjoy how amusingly too small it looks for the background 😂 I SWEAR it has been sized correctly gang...I swear...It should move along a bit faster now!

The skele continues, onwards ever onwards! #embroidery #embroideryart #embroideryartist #embroiderypainting #chronicillnessart #chronicillnessartist #chronicillness #chronicallyfullysick #cfs #fibromyalgia #endometriosis #embroiderywip

I thought you might be tired of skeleton progress, so to break it up please enjoy this super cute galah pendant I managed to squeeze in while in transit to my parents for xmas. I'm SO proud of him! He's one of the best pendants I have ever done! #embroideredpendant #pendant #threadpainting #galah

✨There are times when, like today, I’m very grateful for being in the right place at the right time to make sure that the right people are becoming strong in the ways they need to be.✨️ Tea Party is finally finished! #criticalrole #criticalrolefanart #keyleth

The most complicated portion of linework is complete! We have also passed the 100 hour mark on this big boi (or I guess girl, since its technically me 😂). Onwards to the Creeping Grey! #embroidery #embroideryart #embroideryartist #chronicillnessart #cfs #fibromyalgia #endometriosis #embroiderywip

Got the first page finished last night before packing it up to head home from the parents' today! I got 33 hours of embroidery done over the past week while visiting (a relaxing xmas break 😂), so this first page has tipped over to 90 hours 🙃 Must go faster!

Art v Artist for 2024! I finished 4 larger pieces this year, plus a bunch of pendants, which isn't bad for my snails pace stitching to be honest ^_^ #artvartist #artvartist2024 #embroideryart

These little mushrooms really remind me of the Isz from The Maxx. Such cute little guys! #SamKeith #TheMaxx #embroideryart

I took a quick snap of this before I stuffed it into my luggage to stay at my parents for a week. I didn't want to dismantle the frame & it just fit in my medium sized suitcase 😬 It's taking much longer than I hoped - I should be past this page by now! 57 hours so far, in case you are wondering...

I'm 25 hours into this beast of a project & making pretty good progress! All of the skele linework for the first pattern piece is done, and all of the Creeping Grey is done for the skull now! Still the Creeping Grey to go on the neck & shoulders, & all the mushies, before we can move on to page 2!

My little pizza pendant has finally joined his friends in my store! I think this is my favourite pendant I have made - it's so cute 🥹 cotfcreative.etsy.com/listing/1836... #embroideredpendant #pendant #threadpainting #embroideryartist #pizza #embroideredpizza

I hear it's International Day of People with Disabilities #IDPWD which is very cool and fun because my body has been actively trying to ruin my life more than usual in the past month. Fatigue flare, yes, but pain flares YES. New ones too! Gotta keep me guessing 😂

THANK YOU to everyone who has chosen to shop small this year and visit my store! 🥰 It's tough for small businesses to compete in today's Black Friday environment, so I really appreciate those of you who have chosen to pick up a calendar or some fun socks from me.⁠ ⁠ ginnydi.com/shop

It's one of my favourite CR fan sonnnggs. I love this song so much!

Prepping for my next big competition piece! Yes, those are A4 size pieces of paper. Yes, I have measured out this skeleton to be exactly half my size. Yes, I do have a deadline of 3 months to work on this. No, I don't know why I'm like this 😂 #chronicillnessart #chronicillnessartconcept

Meet Treeleth of the Air Ashari 😂 You know, when you just have the dumbest idea & you simply must make it? This is the dodgiest cosplay I have ever made because I was not spending more than an afternoon on this, but it was for a plant so it's probably fine 😂 #criticalrolefanart #criticalrolecosplay

I got these incredible cat prescription sunglasses and now I think I might be unstoppable?

I have added a bunch of new pendants to my store! I'm waiting for some heart chokers to come to add those as an option instead of a chain, but for now they all just come with a chain! ☺️ cotfcreative.etsy.com

I know I should wait to post a washed and mounted photo of this, but I literally just finished it and I can't deal with how cute it is so here we are. Pizza is love, pizza is life, wear your love of pizza on your chest 😂 I have a whole restock of fun pendants coming to my shop really soon!
