i make yarn, things with yarn, and opinionated declamations. read the alt text and wear a mask. playing with procreate to #MakeBadArt
#MakeBadArt if only because doodling is fun and you never know what lil guy you might end up with.
ebikes are already defined into 3 classes (4 is considered a moped, not an ebike). the problem is the laws haven't caught up with the industry yet. (disclosure: my family in PDX, USA has 6 ebikes for 8 people, all class 1 or 2. most municipalities around here allow only 1 or 1-2.) but yes, we do.
for reasons i will not be going into, i hate one (1) mid Australian University. #MakeBadArt (this took me an hour, and i had to learn at least three new skills on the ipad to do it. worth it.)
lit two days ago (photo taken that day). three days my dear, witty, snarky, kind, beautiful friend jenn crowell has been gone. I'm so, so sad.
the only think more tedious than sewing a grafted bind off must be unpicking a sewn grafted bind off. 🧶
happy pride, one and all! (stamp work — including the actual making of a couple of the stamps themselves — and design by my teen. sewing and appliqué application by me. yes i know the stitching is a mess, shush.) 🧶 🏳️🌈
i credit bsky and #MakeBadArt for my toe-dip into visual arts, a field i had always felt locked out of. as a writer, i didn't even feel zines were possible, bc, y'know, *drawing*. but the cool part of making things badly is: i made a thing! to download a copy: drive.proton.me/urls/NGPBFJV...
unpacking a 10-pack of bobbins that cost $15 at least ten years ago, to join the approximately 5000 other bobbins i inherited from my MIL, and thinking: this too is generational wealth.
today in #MakeBadArt: my therapist gave me a prompt, and my best friend fed me a whole bunch of blessings, and this is what came out. i dunno, i just work here, I'm not in charge.
me: yay all my fiber is put away, i have so much and i am so inspired! also me:
lulz. gotta love it when the bots answer the "that looks like bot text, is that bot text?" question for you.
insurance companies: "if your submission isn't 1000% perfect including all proper punctuation and fifty codes you've never heard of, we don't have to pay." also insurance companies:
pulled out the procreate t'other day for more #MakeBadArt both my nibblings said a version of "ironically, it's not bad art" which was very sweet but also i then had to explain the point, and the freedom, of making "bad art".
it's Friday afternoon and our @fridaytea.com teas arrived. we're over here huffing like addicts. 19yo declared "that's the good stuff!" and i can't disagree. first up? trying out some golden snails, which are supposed to be good for over a dozen brews. good thing, cuz there's a queue for cups.
friends of mine are going through the worst shit (one is likely not making it past the weekend), and i cannot make any of it better, but i can sit by a hospital bed and add a tiny bit of embroidery to a medical back brace.
did you know that broody mama hens pull out their belly feathers to cover & warm at their newly hatched chicks, so if you have new bbs like these & you hold out your hand at their back height they will run under your hand & then fall asleep all huddled together in a floof pile and you die of cute?
