Converting my 401K into cartons of cigarettes for barter before the market opens tomorrow.

I just heard about flashes and I am excited for that.

I don’t do much custom work anymore, but a longtime customer had a request and it was just a variation on a bag I already make. I love how it turned out.

I took another class with @stitchandrivet.bsky.social and made more things.

Thank you to everyone who shopped or shared my info during my birthday sale. I appreciate each and every one of you.

It's time to find something else to look forward to.

So remember when I joked about making a holder for an Aldi quarter? 🫡

Just heard from one of my leather suppliers, their warehouse has frozen pipes and no heat and they aren't shipping for at least two weeks. HAPPY 2025

I made custom leather handle covers for my cast iron today. Thanks @stitchandrivet.bsky.social !

I am putting together a bluesky list of DC/MD/VA makers, artists, and crafters. Who should be on it?

IYKYK

Two weeks in and it is bleak.

Good morning Bluesky!

Today was my day off so I pulled my trail camera and went on a little yard adventure. A yardventure, if you will.

Today, I hosted a work session for handmade business owners who had taken my biz workshop. It was so great, community-full, and lovely. More of this in 2025, please (no, really, I need more of this so I don’t lose my shit)

Good morning, little fox!

I am prepping coasters for the opening of my semi-permanent pop-up at Loudoun Beauty Collective.

Punching some holes today on my halfway-restored Rosback perforator. No power (or heat) needed, glad I didn't do this 2 days ago in 8° as planned! #antiquemachinery #letterpress

I just saw the fox cross my yard in the woods out back. It was either limping or having trouble on the ice, and now I want to pull my trail cam. However, I also don't want to pull it in 17° weather, and I have too much to do today. Next Wildlife Wednesday is going to be fun.

There are a whole lot of (warranted) doomscrooling opportunities this weekend. So, what are we doing to stay away from the internet?

Me: Oh no that trolley is going to run us over! Guy tied up on the track next to me who somehow thinks he's actually the guy holding the lever: Lol cry more 😂

So how are we feeling today?

This is a great piece. "As deportations ramp up again, we have a choice: We can watch as our neighbors disappear or we can build on these proven strategies to protect the diverse communities we've built together."

I better get a cat on this feed fast or nobody is going to believe it is me.
