I have once again forgot about this app. How’s everyone doing over here?!

Anyone out there make buttons, like for a cardigan?! Im crocheting a cardigan tee that needs some buttons and would love to go handmade. #makersofbluesky #artists #makers #handmadebuttons

I was recording myself crocheting for content and I looked like a grump. Apparently masking is hard when I’m crocheting alone and I see that as a win.

I’m back in my knitting and crochet kick. Nice to be enjoying it again.

Best time of the year. The joy birding and nature photography gives me. 🖤 #birding #naturephotography

Happy Full Moon 🖤 I’m releasing stress and worry and bringing in strength, courage, and creativity!

Thought for the Day…

Finally picked up some of my $5 oil pastels and had some fun in my sketch book. Let yourself play and have fun, doesn’t have to be a masterpiece. #artsky #Art #oilpastels

I haven’t made art in a week because life has been punching me in the face, but I think tonight it’s time to pick up the oil pastels. #art

People with diagnosed EDS or hypermobility syndrome - what type of doctor diagnosed you? I think it’s time I get a referral. 😫 #hypermobility #chronicpain

What’s something that’s giving you hope? Something that’s helping you move through life right now? I keep going through waves of hope and hopelessness. If you are struggling, you aren’t alone. 🖤

You are an artist regardless of skill. You are an artist regardless of skill. You are an artist regardless of skill. You are an artist regardless of skill. You are an artist regardless of skill. You are an artist regardless of skill. You are an artist regardless of skill. You are an artist.

If you need some hope, some practical ideas for moving forward in this chaotic time. Check out my newest Substack post. 🖤 #hope #booksky #bookrecs open.substack.com/pub/rinknits...

Happy Black History Month bookies 💙 #booksky 🪐📚 #Blackbooksky #BHM #BlackHistoryMonth

So many times I don’t feel creative but I pick up my pastels or paints anyways. Whether it turns out nice or a mess I’m happy I tried. #art #creativity #oilpastel

I feel like Beyonce has a ska record in her

Happy Monday! Be kind to someone today, open a door, give a smile. Do something to give others hope. 🖤 The world needs it. #hope #kindness #bluesky

#Resistance is Joy Allow people to find #joy & enjoy things. Just bc they do so doesn’t mean they don’t care about what’s going on. We cannot live on #survival mode interrupted. It isn’t sustainable & it’s unhealthy. #Enjoy what energizes & gives you a boost of energy. We need joy to #resist.

Deep breath in. Pause. Slow breath out. Smile. You got this. 🖤 📸 #joy #hope ❄️

We made it to February! 🙌🏻

I need book recs! I host a book club at my yoga studio and we do mainly non fiction and the occasional fiction and I’m trying to pick our next three months. Looking for these themes: 📚self-love/self care. 📚spring time, nature, wellness. 📚 thought provoking #booksky #bookrecs

HAPPY LAST DAY OF JANUARY! We’ve almost made it. 😅 #bluesky

I hope you find stillness and rest today. A moment to observe and restore. Then may your creativity flow freely. You got this. 🖤 #artsky #art #hope 🎨

Art is not a distraction.

Artists, what’s your current favorite medium to work with? I’m loving oil pastels, they are messy and I think it’s healing something in me. 🖤🎨 #art #artsky

It’s a new day, find something to smile about even if it’s a tiny lil thing. I woke up to the sun shining. ☺️ #bluesky #hope #joy

Artists and writers, what books are you reading to help you grow in your craft or maybe a new craft? I want to learn more about poetry and writing. I am currently reading A Poetry Handbook by Mary Oliver. #art #booksky #writing 🎨 📕 #poetry

Good morning #bluesky 🖤 Hope everyone has a lovely day and that you get to create for the joy of it. #art #oilpastel 🎨

Wrote a poem over on my Substack called Listen and Notice. 🖤

Knitters and crocheters, what ya working on? 🧶 I’m making a hexi cardigan. #knitter #crocheter

In the night, she feels peace. 🖤 #art #poetry #procreate

Well today has sucked but atleast I have BB. 🖤 #cat #bluesky 🐱

Tell me something good because I’m about to lose my mind. If one more thing breaks this month…😭

Take a breath. Take a pause. Let it go. You’ve got this. #art #mindfulness 🎨

How I arrived on #bluesky

Someone add me to a starter pack, I wanna feel special. 😂🖤

May the force be with us.

Artists who work with oil pastels. What are your favorites? I am currently using Gallery artist’s soft oil pastels but would love to try new things. #art 🎨

Watch me change my mind a million times. #procreate #art

Creativity is like a houseplant, not an endless well. You need to seek out sunlight, water, and nutrients in art, shows, music, experiences, and more to tend to it. And just like plants it has its dormant and active periods and you may not seem improvement for some time.

I may not have many followers here but I am loving this platform and the interactions I’ve had have been delightful. 🖤 #bluesky #community #joy

A lil morning art share. Find some joy in the chaos we are living through even if it’s a lil smile over coffee. #findjoy #art 🎨 #hope

Made a cute lil crochet 🍑 🔌

I made a crochet 🍑 🔌 and I want to post a picture here cause I’m cracking up…is that safe to do? 😂 #crochet #crocheters 🧶

Just finished Zodiac Academy: The Awakening. It feels satire and I’m here for it whether it really is or not. 😂 #booksky #books #zodiacacademy

It’s a new day. What’s one thing you are doing to care for yourself today? I’m going to do some Qigong. #hope #selfcare #yougotthis

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce. Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

The joy I get when I like someone’s post and it puts them at an even number of likes. Even better when it’s a multiple of 10.
