I hate moving, my body is letting me know just how old I am. This is when you realize you have to much crap. Time to seriously downsize. Although the oldest says I have too much wool and art supplies. Can there ever be too much?

My fur babies ready for Halloween. Lira & Mylo, too cute. #aussie #dogsincostume #fall

So many species are being eliminated by the greed of some humans that we have entered an era of extinction that resembles the death of the dinosaurs. We are part of nature and every loss diminishes us www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Still plugging away at the Qanik a pattern by Linka Nuemann. The only time I’ve done a swatch & even though gage is right as are measurements I think it’s looking huge. #2025twtsweaterkal

Soooo close to 200 backers, can we get there today? 😍

The Qanik hoodie. Pattern is a Linka Neumann from her Wilderness Knits. This is my first steek and first time using Alafosslopi. Bit like knitting with straw :) I’d forgotten how quick it can be using a 10 needle and bulky. I usually use 4 and fingering sport weight.

Just add “on Zoom” after every fortune… Dr. Tamsin Astor sent me this late last night. And we swear this is true for you if you come to our workshop in September. * Creativity * Habits * Mindset Join my mailing list to be an early bird.

I'll be at booth 1261 for GenCon 2025! Who will I see there?

No pattern, figured it was just grannies. Nice and quick. Sometimes you need quick and easy. #hexicardi #crochet #cardigan

KING OPOSSUM 🔴 Sold via everydayoriginal.com I had many people at local markets ask for an opossum!

THE HAUNTED STATES OF AMERICA comes out tomorrow 7/15/25 in paperback! Not all hardcovers make it to paperback, so this is exciting stuff: lower price, a bendable format, & perfect ahead of the upcoming Spooky Season. Available anywhere books are sold, but I'll add a link to my local indie. 💙

Working on grannies. I have a few ideas, we shall see when I’ve finished making many many more. #afghan #grannysquare #crochet

He finally got his head. Took all morning for that hair. And he still stands, around 14-15” Pattern was by red.bunny.crochet. #crochet #amugurumi #toydoll

He’s been standing there all day. I really need to get a head on, it’s a bit creepy 😂. But, it’s standing on its own, I always use cardboard in shoes.

As mentioned, it was a pleasure to mostly work traditionally (acrylics) on my upcoming Stomping Ground, as well as the usual tonal sketch! It was my largest painting yet (16x20). The painting has already sold to a generous offer.

Turns out I have one of the original watercolor paintings! Will be available Friday. 🪨 #art #sciart #geology #painting #watercolor

I forgot to post here for #birdday older work, but hoping to get back to birds this year.

My Hackle workbook shows you how to use a hackle to create combed top, but even more, I share my ‘pattern system’ to make repeatable blends so you can design a yarn from the prep to finished fabric! And full Video demo too! #fiberprep #handspinning #hackle #combedtop

"Arbor", painted this ideal sort of fantasy city for Hammerdog Games back around 2019 or so. Not really the place to go for beaches, but it's got some amazing ocean views for sure! #fantasycity

First pass Coyote #sketch. I tend to study a subject a few times before I feel like I know it well enough but I never stop seeing and learning. Thank you @norcal-lynne.bsky.social for letting use your photo for practice! #wildlifeart #art #drawing ᏯᎭ or ᏩᏯᎭ yaha (wayaha)
