Winter von Valancius❤️ Art-trade with amazing artist @feyspeaker.bsky.social Thank you very much!!! 😍

OK tantrum over I just pieced a little extra fabric onto the bits I had and now I'm good. It's just the lining anyway, not like it's gonna be visible

turns out being really careful about your measurements is fucking USELESS if you note the wrong damn amount needed in the first place

just realised that the pieces i cut and fused days ago are the wrong fucking size fuck fuck fuck i want to pull my own face off sewing is a relaxing hobby

pretty sure the dog is secretly a cat. not cuddly (unless it's on HIS terms), downright aloof, and now he's begging for sushi

it's my birthdayyyyyyyy

Well, I HAVE thimbles now. Now I gotta work out how to use them without feeling like I've lost all manual dexterity

Who needs thimbles, I thought, it's not hard to push a needle through fabric, I thought. Yeah well. Lesson learned. My poor fingers.

First attempt at a bear. Stitching could he neater and I probably should have used a stretch fabric or something fluffy but I don't think it turned out too bad!

Why tf did I just have a stress dream about being lost on the Paris Metro I've not even been since I was 10

This little fella came together surprisingly easily, only took a couple of afternoons by hand. Had to order some felt for the eyes but managed to recycle an old dressing gown for the rest of him. Anyway his name is Squidge and I would die a thousand deaths for him #sewing

I emerge from craft purgatory to reveal...a bag

I'd do a little dance of celebration but then I'd need a lie down. Glad to have participated in this!

I made 87 billion cockups and stabbed myself more times than I'm proud to admit but I sewed a wee fella. Two wee fellas actually. On balance it was probably not smart to try making something that's got curved seams all over the joint.

I wrote something!

the fundamental disconnect between the manosphere and reality is that they are incapable of understanding that this is - according to every woman I’ve ever met - the sexiest thing a man has ever done

Me: I wanna do very clear, crispy art with well-defined edges and clean line art. Also me: I wanna do messy, expressive painterly art with lots of loose brush strokes And me once more: Naah, I wanna do watercolour imitation! I can NEVER CHOOSE.

I do like Black Mirror very much but I always need a good 24 hours between each episode to process The Horrors

Fun portrait I did a few year back in chalk pastel (naturally.) Titled "Stardust."

Nana passed away today, so I'll probably be quiet for a bit. Take care, all.

Things are likely to be hectic here in a week, so I wanted to give y'all heads up early. Apollo 13 coverage begins this week, and I've assembled a tremendous viewing experience: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

I'd like you all to meet the saddest wettest most pathetic little dog in the world. His name is Toby.

Some early morning light trying to poke through the fog this morning #Northumberland #photography

trying to make peace with myself

I saw some pictures of the Tomar Tarot and got inspired. So here is a Mari in the style.

Happy international women's day<3

Dog is engaged in his favourite outdoor pursuit: just sort of standing there sniffing the air. I'd throw him a ball if I thought he'd have any idea what to do with it.

wip, goodnight 🌙

Nana update: still kicking, no longer has pneumonia, out of the hospice now and into a nursing home. Been a weird few weeks.

My dad decided to give the dog trim today and I uh. Baby. My baby boy. What has the bad man done to you.

In brighter news, hospice care is doing Nana a lot of good. She's very comfy and enjoying herself, and they're taking really good care of her.

So like. I got the news yesterday that my nana had died. Then it turned out she hadn't. But today she's going into a hospice and nobody knows how long it will be. So I'm now just sort of waiting to go through hearing that news a second time. So yeah 2025 is a great year so far.

Reasons why I fucking hate communicating by phone: dad told me today that mum had called him on the phone and said my nana had died. we were halfway to the hospital when she phoned again and it turned out she's not dead after all, and dad had misheard her. so yeah. i'm having a day.

Woo! Little brother passed his driving test. Don't need to keep holding my breath now.
