i got a fucking cold nooo. this is my.. second time getting sick in the past 6 years. :’|

valais blacknose sheepy my beloved

the first thing i’ve drawn in monnnntthss… sticker club has been on hiatus for so long. no i don’t want to take a screenshot

I MADE BROOM!!

*DOPAMINE* *DOPAMINE* *DOPAMINE*

feeling insanely lucky w how easy it is to find fiber art supplies in this town, i got this entire loom bundle (laser cut frame loom/3 tapestry needles/3 weft combs, stick shuttle, GOOD metal embroidery scissors & bamboo embroidery hoop) at goodwill bundled for THREE DOLLARS —

my salmon plush i use as a neck pillow constantly is stinki i need to give it a bath

thankfully my neck is feeling a bit better than it was last night or this morning so at least it’s not something that’s going to need urgent care bc fuck it was feeling like that for a while. could barely move excruciating pain. icing it & stretching it out carefully as things get less inflamed

i had one advil today bc my neck was just so horribly bad and it did help a bit but then i was getting mild ulcer pain a couple hours later ;___; i really can’t do NSAIDs at all anymore

i dropped and broke a bowl in the sink last night and somehow in trying to catch it i jolted my body so badly i destroyed my neck and i am in such extreme horrible pain. i don’t know if one of my bulging discs blew out more or what

wound the first yarn i’ve made with my spinning wheel off the spindle finallyyyy, using “niddy noddy” (cardboard rectangle) and “lazy kate” (cardboard box with holes in it). the yarn is very inconsistent and also beautifulll 💅

i’m going to NorCal next month to see my grandparents and aunt and sister while my sister is doing a tattoo guest spot in SF, and i’m trading her a handknit oversized circle scarf/snood thing colored to look like a pigeon’s neck for a tattoo HAHA. YAAAYY. this is her mock-up and my yarn palette

once again can not for the life of me get fusible interfacing to actually fucking stick (following instructions exactly) BUT making it work with glue basting. 🙄 I NEED TO STOP GETTING FUSIBLE IT NEVER WORKS!!! ONLY UHU STIC NEVER BETRAYS ME

I CANT FUCKING BELIEVE THE SHAPE OF THIS ANIMAL www.instagram.com/reel/DSp2XBK...

mornings have been sooo frosty foggy, rly pretty opening the curtains and seeing everything all white-dusted. it all melts off by noon or so. we have green grass and moss and ferns everywhere year round!!

beautiful nature..

dyed some wool weaving yarn this gorgeousss dusty pinkish-brown color with avocado peels n pits yesterday

leigh trying to ask if i want my scrambled eggs and plant bacon made into a sandwich or as-is: would you like your food on a.. plate? as if it were a.. meal?..

heddlecrafting (looks like shit rn. mostly bc bone dry oak sucks shit to carve and im still figuring out what tools are best for things)

ouh i’m freak ing stressed

i want to go back to sheepcon i want to scratch a happy sheep’s big greasy neck while it wags its tail

cutting out pattern pieces today n maybehopefully fabric too, i gotta do some interfacing tests. uhhh i was gonna do some tax organizing but it was a very stressful day already so i should probably do that later

blurry painful eye bawl.. stupiddd

ahhgg all done taking anise to the vet.. it was an initial appt and they were really overpriced & unhelpful, so she got a general exam (she’s fine) but we’re gonna check out another vet for dental care e____e gonna try a local cat-only vet that may be better with her aversion to being Manipulated

AHHGG i forgot to turn on my humidifier before going to bed and woke up and tore up my eye bawl

ok i am better at winding my little turkish spindle yarn ball now. this type of yarn ball is called a turtle, dats rly cute

okay ummm going to finish up re-drafting this plush pattern (need to redraw all the parts with 1/4” seam allowance), then transferring my playlists and canceling spotify (lol), then going out to weed bc it’s sunny and niiice oouuttt. lookit sunset yesterday after we were done hauling a load of mulch

its a bit of a relief to see other artists feel the same about how US artist alley has become more ""hustle culture"" with a focus on making marketable goods with ok enough art, and less ""check out this mental illness"" with 200 doujinshi pages of the best sucking and fucking you can ever imagine

started spinning again yesterday evening and it’s given me sooooo much dopamines (even WITH the fiber batt i’m working with being super annoying to draft lmao)

wowwww it was so nice out i sowed a bunch of winter seeds to stratify n___n a bunch of natives and some nigella and green peas. real sloppy style just scratching a handful on top of soil in wide nursery pots, to separate out once they’ve germinated, lol

omg i JUST learned that if you type “-ai” before you search anything on google it won’t give you that bullshit often misleading ai summary at the top of your search. YAY!!!

finally deleted my twitter accts for good, aaahhhggggg (sigh of relief as i dissolve into acidic slime)

i’ve been reading a book on in-depth analysis of the classical/smith-waite tarot cards and it’s soooo freakinng cool dawg.. highly recommend this. i wanted to learn how to read the cards without having to look up meanings and this is making things SO much easier to memorize & understand contextually

lessee. my tummy is slowlyyy getting better. i avoided coffee & acids today which helped (teamaxxed to keep headache away lol). i cleaned the workroom a bunch, it rly feels like the season for cleaning & organizing & wrapping up loose ends rn. i’m knitting a bunch, and got a new turkish spindle to -

one of those “i want to leave” posters but instead of a ufo it’s an international airliner

insta has learned that i will click on a tasty bakery or cafe ad regardless of where it’s located, because i always assume it MUST be somewhere local bc otherwise why tf would the algorithm show me it in the first place, but then it’s random ass spots in NY or hawaii or smth?? GUYS THIS ISNT WORKING

head hurts bc i didn’t have my single coffee this morning bc of avoiding acid for my tummy oOOHH BEING ADDICTED TO HAVING BARELY 60MG OF CAFFEINE A DAY AND NO MORE IS STUPIDDD

cleaned up some garden shit in the backyard to enjoy some heavily filtered droplets of sunlight and silent hill-like fog and 54° weather. :0) january in da valley

i am still struggling with ulcer-like pain and getting nothing done. :’| it’s a bit more mild today at least.. i’m avoiding acidic foods n drinks to see if that helps

i want to knit myself a whole freaking sweater this year, i have never actually done that despite knitting off and on for the past 20+ years. biggest thing i’ve knit otherwise was a vest (i’m a small projects guy…)

to the sharp yet mild pain in my tummy in the location where ulcers happen for the past four days, please go away!!

kind of truly fucked up that the arnica cbd salve w dimethyl sulfoxide we traded art at market for legitimately works as well on my neck pain as a double dose of naproxen or ibuprofen or ultra strength tiger balm. why buy otc when you can trade a silkscreen print to some witches

this is how i’ve been knitting for the last half hour. circular needles around velcro cat

i want to craft an anime girl figure out of entirely organic materials. i think it would be a very holy object

ohhhhhhhhh i’m fuckine toired

feeling the annual cosmic pull of wanting to journal

thinking a lot abt how all the tells to determine whether or not something is AI probably won’t even exist in like a year even, it’s only getting better at emulation, and at that point then what? gotta push for people to ONLY source images from artists directly, you can’t trust stock art whatsoever

local materials reuse and recycling store started making laser cut ornaments with AI art and i had to send them a DM explaining why AI is ecologically unsustainable and anti-human, HELL WORLD HELL WORLD HELL WORLD

friend did a workshop and i did my first ever mosaic today!! rly sloppy in places with poor color/texture planning bc i did it on the fly but YAY.. IT WAS FUN!! we’ll go back to grout it later soon
