Stopped at another park along the Potomac bc it’s too nice a day to be indoors and bc I wanted to experience a Rin @stedeco.re smau irl

A sign at Gravelly Point Park warns against feeding the wildlife bc geese + airplanes = BAD

It was more star-shaped, and supposed to be from a tree. Reminds me more of a Sweetgum leaf!

Working on this shawl/scarf combo pattern with some lovely recycled silk yarn I got for Christmas! Also thinking about crocheted and beaded jewelry...

A blue yarn bowl on a light wood desk with a keyboard in the background. A cake of pale blue yarn with red flecks is inside the bowl, and resting across the top of the bowl are a pair of wooden knitting needles with a project cast on. About ten rows of a net-like knit of the blue and red yarn have been completed, creating a 2-inch long swatch.

A few pictures of the finished pattern show it being worn a few different ways, as a shawl, shrug, or scarf.

QRT with a pic of your ugly bangs in solidarity 🫂🫂 I was fully committed to the side part when I first got bangs, thankfully lockdown gave me time to practice cutting my own hair and perfect the feathery middle part look lol

Overdressed for a work party, still side parting

A small child said she liked my hair this day so I was feeling myself lol

I know RR has said that she took some inspiration for Hollanov from the Ovechkin-Crosby rivalry, but you cannot convince me that Ilya Rosanov and his deadly smolder has a basis in Ovi when *this* Russian hockey phenom exists

I don’t have any pics of the Rouge River from my home town, and sadly half of it is in a concrete channel so it’s not very pretty 😭 instead here is my current home river, the Potomac!

A photo of the Potomac River at its confluence with Goose Creek in Leesburg, Virginia. It’s close to sunset in winter, the water is still and reflecting the blue and orange sky and bare trees along the river banks.

Considered stayed as a week or longer, visited as two days-one week, stopped as a day trip or overnight stay, passed as layover or drove thru. Someday I really need to do a tour of the National Parks out west 🙏🙏

A blocky map of the US titled "US Level 84" with colors assigned to each state base on whether the poster has lived, stayed, visited, stopped, passed thru, or wants to visit them; or white if they have never been there. Most of the colorful states are on the east coast or midwest, with the "want to visit" states in the west.

Welp. 😆💀

A screenshot of a GIF posted by Merriam-Webster, frozen on the frame that says “Your 2026 Word: Moribund”.

A screenshot of the Merriam-Webster website showing the definition of the word Moribund:
1) being in the state of dying; approaching death
2) being in a state of inactivity or obsolescence

A super hopeful prediction for the next year lol.

I’m really proud of the way I stretched my creativity & abilities this year, doing commissioned pieces for the craft fair, getting into painting for YWMLP, & finally making things for myself I’m excited to wear! Not giving up when things don’t come out perfect at first makes all the difference!

Three postcard-sized paintings arranged on a wooden table.

The top painting depicts a rectangular, stone-lined pond in a manicured lawn with a copper-roofed stone gazebo and a cloudy sky in the background. The gazebo and pond are surrounded by colorful autumn trees shedding yellow, orange, and red leaves on the lawn. The pond is filled with various plant life and a Green Frog sits on a lily pad. A small metal signpost stands along the pond edge, its educational sign not visible from this angle.

The bottom right painting depicts a scene reminiscent of the Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind manga by Hayao Miyazaki, with a small white glider flying through a blue sky filled with puffy white clouds over a central desert, heading from the dark fungal forest on the left towards the bright green valley on the right. A windmill turns over the fields in the valley, and the mossy head of a ruined giant mechanical soldier sits on a hill in the forest. In the top right corner is an inset of Ed dressed like Yupa against a purple background with a gold Tolumecian serpent. In the bottom left corner is an inset of Stede dressed like Nausicaa in front of a blue-eyed Ohmu with gold tendrils extended.

The bottom left painting depicts the confluence of a stream with a larger river on a sunny summer day. The banks are lined with trees that are reflected in the water below, and a large tree on the near bank frames the view on the left. A log is sticking out from the middle of the stream. On one small branch is a basking Painted Turtle and on the main segment of the log is a Great Blue Heron, its neck bent in an S-shape as it pulls a fish out of the stream.

Five white cardboard jewelry boxes lined with cotton batting are arranged on a wooden table. Clockwise from the top they contain:
-Three crocheted octopus earrings meant to be mixed and matched. One is Stede-themed teal with a big smile and holding a little teacup, one is Ed-themed purple looking sad with a little red silk in one arm, and one is Izzy-themed black and grey with a tiny sword.
-Four crocheted earrings meant to be mixed and matched, one pink, one black, one white, and one purple. All look like hands giving the middle finger, with small black beads on the wrists.
-A pair of crocheted sunflower earrings, bright yellow with brown centers.
-A pair of silver hoop earrings that have been crocheted over with teal thread in a lacy pattern through the bottom half of the hoops, strung with a few small blue-green glass beads.
-A crochet ocean scene mounted on a broach. It contains green, orange, and magenta coral branches with a pink shrimp in front of them and small copper-green metal charms of a starfish and a seahorse.

my feed did a thing lol

Two posts on Bluesky, the first with a picture of NHL player Brandon Bussi captioned "Heated Rivalry as written by JK Rowling", the second with two quotes from Craig Laughlin "That Stellar Bussi" and "Bussi is Big".

Four Christmas movies to know me by.

Cover image for the film "Holiday Inn". Yes I know it has a very problematic blackface scene and a bunch of WW2 propaganda, but its nostalgic for me and I just skip that shit.

Poster for the film "The Muppet Christmas Carol", objectively the best xmas movie and scrooge adaptation and I won't be taking any questions or comments

Poster for the film "Home Alone". A cute classic, nothing says christmas like avoiding your family and causing looney toons level violence and mayhem.

Cover image for the 60s cartoon version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas, one of the few films that can make my shriveled little agnostic heart grow three sizes.

Dropped google street view at a random intersection and got the perfect example. Cute brick ranch house? No, we want A Cube.

A screenshot of a residential area in Vienna, VA. On the right is an older house original to the neighborhood, a 60s ranch perfect for a single family with a cute half-brick exterior. On the left is a hideous "modern" style house at the absolute maximum allowed by zoning. It is a flat-roofed rectagular box, white with black and red accents. It fits the character of the neighborhood not at all and leaves about 6" of yard on either side. A man with headphones on is walking by. His face is blurred out but I imagine it is disapproving of the kids these days.

Here's some of the artists I saw at ATG. Also, I technically heard Cynthia Erivo in the distance at DC Pride this year but I was too tired from marching in the parade to walk to where the concert was actually happening lol
