Oopsie! #accidentalmidnighttacos

another little ol cute #thrifthaul today with an older snapshot display stand, some furniture sliders and fishing line which always come in handy, a neat magnifying glass, a new package of some Sears clear plastic shoe bags, a champagne sealer, and (you guessed it) just a tiny bit of fabric 🖤♥️

CRAP y'all this is gonna look terrific #fixyourheartsordie #happypride

I used to work as a hostess in a casual restaurant and the owner/ my boss said she thought I'd be really good at judging dog shows. I think of that often.

Since it's the last day of #memademay for 2026 I'm claiming this little tiny bit of sewing that gave me an utterly fabulous new pair of vintage Martex cherry print kitchen tea towels. I just hemmed the top & bottom and added little green hanger loops.

It was a very utterly perfect sun/moon set/rise by the lake tonight in significant part because there was a close-to-the-horizon cloud window where the moon was like yo dudes! and then it vanished for like another 45 minutes

Am getting some stof hung up on the walls today and remembered a double mat i scored at a goodwill for a buck. And then- oh hello tiny haunter! #hauntedthrifting

Another lovely Friday with a little volunteering at the evanston @wasteshed.bsky.social, a kickass #thrifthaul, and some fun doo-dads on my #dailylakeglass walk

hey jewel shopping Chicago folk, if you've ever seen this bread cheese in the deli's fancy cheese section and wondered? It is a fabulous substitute for paneer in a lazy (read: fusion, read: white girl) Indianish curry to replace paneer

Nighthawks! Chicago babe we're about to see fewer bugs ♥️🖤

painting this umbrella has been a pretty fun time #wip #alwayscarryablackswirlyumbrella #acab

paintin a boring beige umbrella 'cause why not (also karl was a fat phobic jagoff)

This is a somewhat sadder #memademay moment because these are five different tops I've made that don't fit me anymore, but I'm talking with a friend for whom they might work? At any rate they'll fit someone out there if not me

okay I can't decide if this is sort of charmingly bobo handmade 'i can figure it out and make it work enough' or irredeemably janky (It's going to say RATS at the bottom because they do and it's awesome) #craftsky #Chicagobuns #givemeyouropinionplease

by the way: for evanston & northerly Chicago cat folk? Paws and Claws got some kittens right now ♥️🖤

another xlnt #thrifthaul because sometimes I'm just in the right place at the right time and I see the fabulousness and I'm not gonna apologize for it ♥️🖤

Just as a reminder y'all: you can adorn your KN95 mask with temporary tattoos ♥️🖤🦐

finally reappropriating the dumb maft branded hoodie that I do actually wear a lot plus a tee shirt that fits and now I'll actually wear, all thanks to some 20+year old acrylic paint and a little fabric medium #sloppysatya #fuckgenerativeai #craftsky #makeartnotgarbage

I've made this M5431 pattern a very bunch of times and dangit it's always so good. A perfect platform for any solid or printed fabric to gently holler at everyone I AM A GOOD SKIRT SIR WHAT ARE YOU PLEASE #memademay #sewingbullshit

I give pretty good presents, I gotta admit #thrifting #sewing #danishbuttercookies #marshallfield

I refer to veggie breakfast links n patties as snausages. Also aminals, spaghetts, occasional deployment of bafroom, lashcara, lemmy poppinseed, possibly a couple or many more. This is an xlnt topic.

I've all but forgotten about #memademay (oops) but I did wear one of my favorite skirts and tops for a little thrift run earlier today. You will hafta forgive my dirty mirror y'all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Another little #thrifthaul of some acrylic sewing template rulers, vintage-ish hat pattern (Theresa LaQuey whaaat), some babeh rickrack, mini xmas deco, a couple hardware finds, a few small wooden puzzle balls, and a copy of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

okay I gotta confess that my decision to use some strong readers and a teeny paintbrush was the totally right move for the eyes and teeth on these t rex heads #craftsky #thriftedrelife

My #thrifthaul purchases are getting lighter, because I have a LOT of stuff. But I've always got room for a couple books and sewing things and goofy stuff to hang up on the wall 🖤♥️

French, flat-felled, bound, slot, hairline, and clean finish

Light question for the #mending and #sewing folk out here: what are things you have that need repair? I'm introducing a friend and her 6yo daughter to hand sewing through fixing stuff & want to bring over helpful supplies

heyo bsky word and or grammaticaster types: would you say Saternalentine or Saternaliantine to a Saturday activity sweetie?

drop some FIGHTERS

I can't believe I ate the WHOLE THING

ohhp sorry my ride's here

been a minute since I gathered a handful of #dailylakeglass to share, so here's a nicely lit cloudy horizon and two bitty pieces of blue

got a little #memademay selfie action with M5522 construction notes for next time:: extend cf closure strip and lower the hem of my cf sections based on the pinched midriff seam and maybe nix upper bodice pieces by one pleat. Overall tho, it's another win! 🖤♥️

Me made this apron, this tee shirt, those curtains, and this cocktail #memademay #sewingbullshit

I'm using this me-made-May mojo to get some other crafty stof tended to. Do you really want to know how long ago i bought this corny plastic framed art just to paint over it and use it for a snapshot?

well it's not perfect but it is cute. And who's gonna be looking super close at one of my several sewing baskets? plus I made the ironing board cover and the aged grey tee shirt I'm currently wearing #memademay #sewingbullshit

it's a little homemade handsewn janky looking but I really like the crazy quilt toppers here #sewingbullshit #memademay

Working on some #memademay #sewingbullshit : recovering the topper cushions in a thrifted sewing basket with crazy quilt pieces and I finally sewed the buttons on my latest shirt

Top 15 teevee shows ever, by gut instinct: Golden Girls Young Ones Futurama Simpsons Better Call Saul King of the Hill Kath & Kim Trailer Park Boys Black Adder Spaced Star Trek: TNG Red Dwarf The Office 30Rock The Great North (beats Bob's Burgers by a nose WHATEVER I DON'T CARE)

WHEW it was a big #thrifthaul day y'all, and yes I need to start considering the sheer amount of stof intake but how can I deny a plastic popcorn xmas garland in itsoriginal kurt adler packaging?

the yelp i just let out! #thrifthaul a comin'

the beauty of The @wasteshed.bsky.social : you never know what you might find #fart

Petite little #thrifthaul today with embossing powders & an older clear vinyl tote in need of a little patching magic from the @wasteshed.bsky.social and a couple books, decorative edge scissors, sewing notions, a toy wall screen, and a multi-tiered hanger (that I like to use for fabric scraps)

Yessss!

alright freaky deaky chicago weather turning my radiators back on, I'll just have sneaky collards and cornbread for dinner I'm also watching trading places so ha! ha! I win!

Another Friday, another rando #thrifthaul featuring fabric & sewing notions from @wasteshed.bsky.social and more cool bubbler lights and a small glass picture frame

okay bsky peeps, I realized today I've pretty much always thought of microblogging and 'zines in a very similar capacity, from an authorial perspective. I want to start making some zines and am curious to hear thoughts on subject matter so opine away ♥️🖤 #zinefuntimes

thank you, campanula design studio! I'll have to bid farewell to the fabulous bitter housewife brand but these two bottles of manhattan perfectors should give me another couple years at least 😭

@wasteshed.bsky.social hi there! This evanston volunteer is happy to see ya here ♥️🖤

frozen peas are an xlnt snack
