Apologies to @risingpun.bsky.social , who has had the Real Experience (tm) for far too long.

Love it when the grown-ups get into it too #crafternoon

This dude sure is grumpy considering that it's Friday

A fish made from a clam shell and air-dry clay. He definitely needs a nap.

I said I wasn't going to make anything new for the employees' art showcase next month. But then this happened. I call it "Otter Rock."

A needle-felted scene of a large rock and a small rock with water between and around them. Both rocks have some kelp on them; the smaller also has a starfish. The larger rock looks a little like a sleeping otter.

Same scene from a slightly different angle.

So uhh

Distant view of a black bear enjoying the free buffet a.k.a our compost bins.

Zoomed-in view of a black bear having a lil snack of slightly decaying food from our compost bins. Yay.

Doing an Art

A sheet of paper with random watercolor splotches of red/yellow/orange all over it. A collection of flowers is drawn in black pen on top of the paint, also at random. I am quite pleased with the result.

Well, that's a good-looking shirt, if I say so myself.

A tie-dyed t-shirt, white with blue and purple diagonal stripes. "Milne Pride 2026" is printed in black in a very ornate typeface in the middle of the chestal region.

Y'all, my friend found these at Walmart

Oreo BTS, purple cookies with words printed on them; this one says "The biggest love, BTS ARMY"

Good morning friendos, I am in sunny(ish) Seabrook NH, where it is currently a balmy 56 degrees, and when the heat kicks on it sounds like windchimes [complimentary]. There's a very nice view from the kitchen (and the deck, when it warms up just a tad) and I am VACATION.

Mr. Carrots is here!

Mr. Carrots, a white needle-felted bunny with skinny ears, protruding eyes, and a wide nose. His bottom garment is royal blue with a lighter blue polka-dot. Under his arm is a Carrot Of Unusual Size [large, also needle-felted].

Craft Swap!!

A bunch of tables with a LOT of stuff on them. Signs say YARN, FABRIC, PAPER, etc.

actively hostile to bigots@starfishknits· May 12

Okay, #CraftSky what am I looking at here? They were in a box of donations for our craft swap, and the person who brought them didn't know either. Rigid plastic with a little give to it. They do not fit together. The clips fit on the struts.

A weird plastic mesh shape, with some clips or hooks that came with them.

OMG, @lunaris1013.bsky.social , how are these all so perfect? Thank you!! (Also I had forgotten about it so it was a big surprise!)

A lovely and intricate mandala and an assortment of stickers including a crow saying "no no no never," a space-cat with a yarn planet, a bi-pride-striped "Bi," another cat with the caption "I exist to spite you," an adorable and colorful house, and a compass rose inlaid with a night sky over a boat at sea (avec tentacle).

Okay, y'all, let's see if I can get any of these to sprout this time. (Last time it was pretty much a wash.)

Two cut-apart egg cartons filled with potting mix (and seeds). There are three tags on each carton so I can remember what was where.

Yay! I got people!

Some kids and a grown-up getting LEGO with it.

actively hostile to bigots@starfishknits· Apr 21

I'm ready, let's LEGO!

Two tables with bagged LEGO pieces and instructions. There is a clock on the wall showing that it's time to start! But no people.

My new co-worker 😍

A large colorful wooden caterpillar affixed to a wall. It has five segments including the head, and each one has various baby-type activities on it. I love it so much.

Hahaha ha NO that's not okay

Thermometer on my desk showing 14C / 58F which is TOO FUCKEN COLD.

and it's hard to turn off the part of my brain that wants to get everything perfect, because *I don't have the skills for perfect* and fucking around is how I will learn the skills .... anyway I drew a flower please love me 🫶

A purple flower (possibly a hyacinth) with green leaves, painted in watercolor. The stem was too dark so I tried to lighten it with water and it looks more like one of the leaves now. I'M LEARNING.

Did all y'all know that you can buy tom kha paste in a jar? And make yourself a big pot of delicious coconut soup on a random Wednesday night?

A bowl of tom kha gai with carrots and yellow squash in addition to the standard mushrooms. It's fucking fantastic.
