Add some whimsy to your reading with these adorable (and super fast to make) crochet leaf bookmarks. Here's hoping you're reading something fun this weekend! www.ourdailycraft.com/2026/06/19/e... #craftsky #crochet

Playing with crochet leaves to make sweet little bookmarks today. Though this one in embroidery floss makes me want to make a wrap bracelet. Whatcha working on #craftsky ?

Let's make it a summer of mending! I've collected some of my favorite easy mending skills and projects in one place so you can easily find what you need to fix torn hems, holes and more. www.ourdailycraft.com/2026/06/17/s... #craftsky #mending

I may not have gotten much accomplished this week but I did finally finish that biography of James Monroe I’ve been “reading” for like two years so that’s not nothing. #booksky

Use what you have to make something you'll love with this collection of easy (sew and no sew) fabric scrap projects! #craftsky minimalistcrafter.com/diy-scrap-fa...

Speaking of fabric scraps, had to make a new set of handwarmers today because I couldn't find my old ones. The teen had her wisdom teeth out this week and they are great localized heating pads, too. #craftsky www.ourdailycraft.com/2023/12/04/s...

Working on a post about using fabric scraps today (not necessarily just for sewing). What's your favorite way to use fabric scraps? I'm a little obsessed with making fabric twine lately. #craftsky

I firmly believe teens need their wisdom teeth out to give parents another chance to baby them that the teens will actually accept. Momming hard this week and not mad about it. #parenting

It's definitely shorts season, and if you want it to be shorts knitting season, I've got a tutorial that will help you design and knit your own shorts to the size you need using the yarn you have with whatever fit and stitch pattern you want. #craftsky #knitting www.ourdailycraft.com/2026/06/08/h...

Instead of calling the TV show "For All Mankind" I accidentally called it "Life on Mars" and I need to know if I'm the only person who thinks that's funny. #tvsky #forallmankind

I had so much fun figuring out how to make this little cat bed on a knitting machine. Now if I could only get a cat to use it, but that's pretty on brand for them. #craftsky pattern here: www.ourdailycraft.com/2026/06/05/d...

I think we'd all feel better if we just took all our leftover fabric and made it into fabric twine. So satisfying. #craftsky minimalistcrafter.com/diy-fabric-t...

Thinking I should do a "don't be afraid of your serger" series. Because I just realized I've had mine for 12 years and still feel like a beginner. And you should always write what you need. #craftsky help me out -- do you need this? what should I include?

Love Julie K. Brown getting her flowers for a decade of reporting on Jeffrey Epstein via a special citation from the Pulitzer board. #pulitzers

I had this big plan to do more of my own work in May, which requires me to get client work out of the way. Happy to report I'm on track to have client work done by the end of the weekend! Then I have no excuse not to show up for myself, which is kind of scary.

I guess it's finally time to write about AI and knitting (which I have avoided because it makes me angry and I don't want to bring bad vibes to something I love). Who has good resources (or just your personal tips) for spotting AI slop patterns (not just knitting)? #craftsky

Getting through this afternoon like any good Gen X’er: coffee and Erasure.

I don't think it's possible to have too many baby blanket knitting patterns in your collection. This one uses sand stitch, an easy knit-purl pattern that looks good on both sides. #knitting #craftsky www.ourdailycraft.com/2026/04/15/s...

It's a write down every little thing you need to do so you can cross it off your list kind of day. Two things down, eight (or so) to go! #productivity

I miss Leah Cheshier Mustachio. #Artemis

What are we stress crafting today to get through #Artemis re-entry? I'm thinking of working on my Riggies vest, relatively simple, and really great yarn (using some Malabrigo). #craftsky

Not gonna lie, already getting the splashdown nerves after that briefing. #Artemis

Wild to me that #Artemis isn't even halfway home yet but they'll be back tomorrow. Go, gravity, go.

Also it's sweet that sometimes the ladies let the gents take a turn as CAPCOM. #Artemis #microfeminism

Today's agenda: hemming a prom dress, nursing the prom dress wearer going through some spring funk, listening to #Artemis. Prom is Saturday. Under pressure indeed.

And then the ISS astronauts and the Integrity astronauts had a phone call and I know today is terrible but there is that. #Artemis

Crescent Earth.

And that's me crying again. Can't wait to see Carroll on the moon. #Artemis II

Didn't expect the astronaut's wakeup call to make me cry this morning but here we are. Let's do this #artemis II!

Astronauts are go to go!

81,000 people are watching the live stream of the #artemis mission where mission control just told them not to use the toilet. What a world we live in. Thanks @nasaupdates.bsky.social

It's a good news/bad news kind of afternoon. Good: found the girl a prom dress for $13. Bad: came home and a roller had just fallen off our garage door. And I found the cat with the front half of a skink in our bathroom. Life is a panoply.

Also, this is the only kind of audacity I'm up for. #artemisII

That shuttle launch terror from Challenger never leaves you. Godspeed, Artemis II!

Found this on Etsy and it's clearly really bad AI but the more I look at it the more I see and I just had to share. It started as "why does every state but Arkansas have some kind of decoration?" but it gets worse from there.

My daughter knew a Hamilton lyric better than I did today and that's it, the kids are ready, let's GOOOO.

Now *that's* how you do a holiday email. Bravo, Echoes of Antiquity!

As part of my plan to make more time for my actual work, I've been unsubscribing from email lists. Tons of them. It's so damn satisfying and hopefully will result in less "oh, wait, I got an email!" in the future. (Kid emails me to circumvent no cell phone rules so can't just turn email off.)

That feeling when you're searching for info on Eritrea and getting lots of stuff about Ethiopia. Apparently their struggle for freedom is ongoing. 😂

Just decided out of nowhere that I want to try to do something kind of crazy to give myself more time to work on my own projects. We'll see if it actually works. At the very least I'll probably get more done trying even if I don't reach the full goal, so that's probably a win.

I was already pissed about the CIA sunsetting the World Factbook but man it's extra annoying to have to hunt for things on Internet Archive that should be easily accessible even if they aren't updating them anymore! #researchproblems

Note to marketers: If you're thinking about doing a sale for International Women's Day and it's for "look skinny" leggings, maybe fuck off with that.

Adventures in time change: after husband set all the clocks forward during the day yesterday, we tried to tell the teen it was bedtime an hour early. 🤦 It didn't work because she's 16 and can read a clock.

My husband has been going around changing clocks all day and I am so confused as to why the kitchen is in a different time zone now.

There's still time to make some cute decor and crafts for St. Patrick's Day. Check out this round up of ideas including kids' crafts, fabric, fiber and more. #craftsky www.ourdailycraft.com/2026/02/16/e...

Happy primary day Arkansas and Texas! (Maybe others I don't know.) Make good choices! #arpx

I know it's not spring but I'm already doing some pre-spring cleaning. If you're ready to start, reverse decluttering might be a good approach. minimalistcrafter.com/reverse-decl...

I may be regressing a little bit in my crafting lately, but why not? Air dry clay is like playing with playdough, and I recently made these adorable magnets, which were so much fun to make and decorate. #craftsky www.ourdailycraft.com/2026/02/02/a...

My eye doctor is the greatest hype woman. Always happy and excited. Calls me young and beautiful. (OK, she was talking about the state of my optic nerve, but I'll take it.)

I’ve got to say the last-minute Whole Foods shoppers were a lot less fun than the “last-minute” (two days ago) Walmart shoppers. #stormprep
