In better news: the Frankenstein box is complete!! 🎉

Apparently I shriek like Moira Rose when I’m frustrated, hot, and trying to pack up art to send to shows. We never stop learning about ourselves I guess.

“Stop making AI generate an explanation for its output and treating that as an actual explanation” any% challenge.

I have finished a second grant application by taking the first grant application and copy/pasting nearly the entire thing and adding $25. Wish me luck!

Today I am an administrative superpower! I get to write about my art and then get to pack up two different pieces for two different shows. Notice I said “get to” and not “have to.” Mindset, baybee, mindset.

Spring forward? wtf

Fuck that guy

And Claude.

I finished a thing! And started something new! Read about it on this week’s blog: misty.granades.com/2026/03/03/w... #ArtBlog #ArtBlogger #ThinkingAboutMaking #MakingThings #ArtYear #OnlyBeautifulThings

Turns out I was just a bit hangry and not actually stupid, a memoir

Finished up a project last night and picked up this shawl. I’d like to finish it as well so I can start my butterfly sweater. #CrochetArt #YarnLove #OnlyBeautifulThings #Crochet #MakingThings #ArtYear #ThinkingAboutMaking

You chose to ditch policies that your customers loved to bend the knee to the wannabe king. Moms remember that shit. Good luck with that rebranding, babe!

Congress needs to RE-CALIBRATE FAST: This is NOT about "whether to fund" Trump's monarchical war. This is about IMPEACHING and CONVICTING and REMOVING him from office for this, yet ANOTHER high crime of abusing the Presidency and using the US military WITHOUT PERMISSION.

look how cool this one is! The pink sort of exploded artologica.etsy.com/listing/4467... 🤯

I am so tired of this cast. I had hoped that it wouldn’t be warm before I got it off but it is supposed to be record setting high temps for March (plus storms!! Good times!!) the next few days and I am unamused.

One was retired navy (WWII) who was a carpenter, cattle rancher, and county sheriff. The other was a farmer.

And when I see that you are still selling HP crochet patterns on Rav, I block you so I don’t see ANY of your patterns.

Hey listen if you are still making HP crafts here in 2026 knowing what we know about her, you either don’t know any trans people or the trans people around you have identified you as completely unsafe and aren’t talking to you about it.

Here’s an update of the projects I’m working on in March. Taking a breather while also making a mobile for an upcoming call.

You hate GenAI? that’s fantastic I’m with yea but have you bothered to support any artist today as well? All you need to do is share their art and interact with them. Checkout their stores and get others to notice them. If you hate slop you need to make real art flourish otherwise thier is no point.

literally your customer base was 90% parents of young children who want a good future for their kids in which they can be free to be themselves, no matter who they are. you told those people to go fuck themselves. they won't be back

Read this and then call your congresspeople.

I will, as usual, continue to be unfashionable.

I am so tired of fragile little men starting wars. I am so tired of fragile little men making policy decisions that harm us all. I am so tired of fragile little men doing horrendous harm to children and expecting us all to forget about it. I am so tired of fragile little men with their tantrums.

every night I will post our #corgi until I get bored and forget. tonight: yoda ears.

Just bought the pattern and yarn for this. For my mental health. I got yellow and brown and white because of course I did. #Crochet #CrochetCardigan

This week on my blog I’m talking about using mind maps as a way to capture my thoughts about my finished art work. It’s kinda a wild ride! #ArtBlog #ArtBlogger #ThinkingAboutMaking #MakingThings #ArtYear #OnlyBeautifulThings #MindMap misty.granades.com/2026/02/24/m...

The horrors persist and there are fresh ones every dang day. I know it and I’m still choosing to make my little things to stave off the darkness. I’m hoping that you see my stuff and it gives you a moment of respite or encourages you to make something of your own. That’s what I’m about.

Well, it was either world war three or letting black people have jobs, so I see why people just went with the world war

I AM TURNING IN THE GRANT PROPOSAL TODAY WITNESS ME

Here’s my new post talking about a process I used for my grant writing this past month. #ThinkingAboutMaking #MakingThings #InHerStudio #ArtBlog #ArtBlogger #MindMapping

Still napping.

I show you some of my older art works and the mind maps I made while looking at them and thinking about the work.

my local park is full of hundreds of snow sculptures and someone has been adding museum labels

I’ve got more stars pinned and I’m deciding on which color(s) I want to use. I’m only procrastinating a *little* bit on construction. #CrochetArt #YarnLove #Crochet #ThinkingAboutMaking #MakingThings #ArtistHack #InHerStudio
