I ran out of white singles before I finished plying all of the red tweed yarn. Now I’m on the spinning equivalent of sleeve island, lol!
It’s beautiful! You’re doing great. I haven’t set mine up yet, tho I did prep a big practice braid and clear space on the coffee table tonight so I can try it out tomorrow. For now I’m spindling more plain white merino.
This is my traveling stool. It’s rated to 300lbs, 2” thick when folded, and weighs almost nothing, for packing in suitcases. Though it would also be great for use in small spaces without much storage room. I’m 4’11”. I absolutely will need it every time I travel!
Still recovering from travel, but my @oishinythings.bsky.social necklace went with me to Rockland, Maine for the 78th Annual Lobster Festival! mainelobsterfestival.com
Tree crew is moving on to the stand by the road now. They don’t expect to block access, and think they’ll be done by around 2:30. Best part of using the same co for 10+ years? They say they love working in my forest bc it’s fun. ❤️❤️❤️
Orphaned socks make excellent yarn bags! This one is for my traveling socks, an ongoing project that lives in my backpack and gets a lot of rough handling. Nobody likes untangling yarn. (This sock is a dimensional traveler. No one in this house had this pair and we don’t go to laundromats! 👀)
Electric done, tree removal in progress! Little bit of vehicle shuffling needed but that was expected and no big deal.
Yesterday I took donations to a local thrift shop and looked for art supplies. I found this adorable set - a supplies box/easel THAT I CAN COLOR. 😍 I’ll seal it before it gets used forever. Scored some perfect organizing bins to impose order on fiber/yarn chaos too! #art #artsupplies #thrift
My in-laws are in Kerrville. They’re fine, but the trailer park behind their house (double wide trailer) is completely gone. We were planning a trip to visit and renting a cabin in that park.
I did some DIY on the keychain @irisflorafawn.bsky.social sent with my bracelet! It was too pretty to just be a zipper pull on my knitting project bag. Now I have matching earrings and a cool addition that I can wear with all sorts of other Pride jewelry in my collection! 😍🤩😎
My custom Bi Pride bracelet from @irisflorafawn.bsky.social is here! With bonus matching keychain! Awesome experience ordering and it fits perfectly. I love it so much! No doubt I’ll be getting more from Iris and you should too. 😍🤩
My fashion has a theme, lol! Pendant arrived today from @oishinythings.bsky.social , necklace vintage from my late grandmother.
Supplies! Fine and broad fountain pens, pencils in assorted hardnesses, erasers, assorted paintbrushes.
Acrylic, by me, ~2015. A mashup of Van Gogh’s Starry Night and Nightmare Before Christmas. Paint and Sip class with friends. I was at the back of the room and saw the moon and stars as smeared orbs rather than the dashed technique of Van Gogh. I love it so much.
Alt text tutorial! Got an image with text? Here’s how to make alt text in seconds! It took me about 10 seconds to make those screenshots, and another minute or so to add the alt text captions. Feel free to share widely! #alttext #blind #esl #lowvision
Slide from ACIP meeting with alt text, summary of benefits and harms for COVID-19 vaccines
Just got around to weaving in the ends! Fine silk, crocheted, own design 🎉🧶
Oh that’s awesome! I’m a very baby hand sewer/quilter right now. Challah cover from scraps batted with an old cotton towel
