Having one of those blah weeks where I crocheted something, decided it was too big and frogged. Tried to make it again and it was too small. Pivoting entirely to an amigurumi cause I need a win.

WIP shawl using Lion Brand mandala yarn and the Chalina shawl pattern by Bag-O-Day Crochet

I crocheted 2 waffle stitch dishcloths today with some green paintbox yarn I accidentally ordered. It feels soo nice to touch with all the texture!

Loaf cat complete! Made with the StelarCrafts Loaf Cat tutorial.

So my housemate got me this cute little kitty beginner crochet kit for crimmas probably off Amazon. No rip to her cause its a thoughtful gift but holy fuckballs the people that made this kit put like THE WORST yarn in there for a beginner to try and use. Its thin, slippery and splitty.

My mood rn

idk if its just me but posting and deleting posts is hella wonky rn

Working on leveling up my crochet skills this month! The frog was the first amigurumi I made that wasn't a Wooble. The other comparison is day 1 vs day 2 of learning how to make a granny rectangle for blankets.

Anyways.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Help me stars Quiet the #thrum In my heart My cells My Atoms I was once you Now I reflect light That burned out Billions of years Ago I'm neither feminine Nor masculine Young nor old Brave nor coward I'm primordial Living through Fresh eyes & these Déjà vu imprints Grow #vss365

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

@leejamiller.bsky.social's livestream raised over 30k today for immigrantdefensenetwork.org in Minnesota! We got to see some great footage of fearless Minnesotans out in the freezing temps to stand together in protest of ICE.

I'm going live TODAY at NOON CST to fundraise for MN! youtube.com/live/x5gJK2e...

Good intentions.

Finished my frog! Pretty happy with it for a first try at embroidery. I only had one detail thread that came loose so I glued it down on the back with a lil smudge of modpodge. Those French beans were the hardest part cause I couldn’t understand from the instructions so I had to hunt down a video.

No reference. No colors. Just the mood of this rainy day given what’s going on in the US.

I got 2 Mossery sketchbooks and some refills in today! I played with the mixed media paper one first and despite abusing the heck out of it with way too much water it did not wind up bleeding through at all. The paper buckled a bit but that doesn’t bug me much. Curious to see how the other goes!

2026. I will draw, even if it’s bad. I will draw, even if it’s challenging. I will draw, even if it’s been done before. I will draw, even if it’s imperfect. I will draw, even if someone else is better. I will draw, even if I have much to learn. I will draw because it’s fun. Because I’m human.

Random picks of some of my favorite work in 2025. Fingers crossed I can get even more done this year without too much burnout.

Sorry not sorry for the frog spam but this stuff takes forever.

Frog now has a belly to rub!

I got some silly little cross stitch kits with frog themed embroidery to play with for crimmas so this is a WIP of what I got done in about an hour. People really aren’t kidding when they say this crafts is about having the patience to stab something a million times. 😂

Another acrylic on wooden canvas of a female cardinal on a branch. I just love how the beak wound up kinda looking like she’s smiling!

This is an acrylic on a wooden canvas of a cute little hummingbird getting snackies! I love the bright colors on this one and adding texture with the acrylic gel pens was really satisfying!

This is the second acrylic painting on a wood slice I did for my boyfriend. I dunno why I was in such an orange mood for the background but I really wanted to make his cat look like some kind of cryptid. Mission accomplished.

The first of the holiday gifts I painted for my boyfriend is his cat enjoying the aroma of a fresh cup of hot cocoa in the mug I bought him for our togetherversary. This is acrylic paint on a wood slice.

lol I got pics of new mini paintings I did for gifts to post but I got distracted fixing one that had gotten something stuck to the varnish that I only noticed when I took a picture. It wasn’t even cat hair this time! I’ll try and post them soon!

❄️ Blessed Yule & Merry Xmas 🎄 May the last days of this brutal year be filled with joy, peace, and rest for all of you 🤍

Season Screamings, @jaejekyll.bsky.social !! ❄️ Thank you for your letter to @santas-studio.bsky.social !! I loved your letter. I love opossums so dang much! I may have focused on the "cozy" aspect more than anything else. May the season be warm and bright! 💗 #SantasStudio #SantasStudio2025 #art

I bought the biggest pack of those Arrtx acrylic markers for my bday and had a lil fun testing them on an axolotl toy I got that was a bit too pink for my taste.

I decorated a little tree I was given and painted on the ornaments so they look like eyes! I enjoy the tree looking a lil like a mimic. The Holiday Hellion at the top was made by #AceOfClay!

I may have made him look too cool but I was having fun with these colors and patterns. #artsky

QUIET, PIGGY! I had to draw this one to get it out of my head. I hope I never feel such a need to draw this clown again.

I think few things feel as validating to artists as having another artist draw your OCs. It's like.... "Oh! You can see them too! Good. It's not just me."

"how did you get into ttrpgs" Oh, I was bitten by a radioactive ttrpg when I was younger.

Well I was going to draw Fetterman and Shaheen this weekend but its going to have to wait til during the week when I have more time and focus. Weekends are potato time!

Behold! Tim Kaine! 🤡

🤡 Second clown of the week! Not sure about these colors but I wanted to experiment a bit.

I don't have a fancy title for this one. Its just Dick Durbin.

I'm painting my feelings this week. I call this one "Cowardly".

Rusalkas Kiss🌿✨ Mara daydreaming about making out with a beautiful dangerous river maiden. If it was real there would be a lot more blood #Art #OCSky #ArtSky #DnDArt #DnDOC

Dear bisky, Who told you to invert the colors on the app icon? I hate it.

So there's a whole feud going on between the vampires and this church of light on the RP sim I recently joined so I got the itch to make some graphics for some graffiti and posters and stuff. For context, Macabre is what they generally call vamps. Made in Procreate!

I'd rather eat #tongues Than cut off mine. But I've Come to find I wouldn't mind Having it split Down the middle, Be in The image Of a reptile. I'm already Dehumanized, Sexualized, Idolized Against my will. So I think It'd be A thrill— To weaponize Myself Before others Do it First. #vssdaily

If you're taking to the streets to protest today, know your rights.
