I read and review lots of books with an emphasis on queer fiction and nature-themed non-fiction. I also craft, dance, and talk about my corgi. Find my reviews at ajreardon.com
It doesn't look like much, but I started the Evergreen SAL from Sprouting Lupine. I'm excited to stitch bugs on green Aida 😍
That flying squirrel pattern is so cute! I'm almost done with this week's museum exhibit.
Just finished the dimorphodon and now it's time to move my frame for this museum stitch-along.
Ready to do some backstitching on the first two exhibits in the museum.
Emma had fun walking the red carpet at the PAWSWalk Festival today.
While waiting for the first exhibit for the museum SAL, I'm working on this thread end sampler and my first biscornu! No Pride patterns, sadly. I'll have to plan better next year.
I honestly have no idea how many stitches I do on a good day! My WIP is the frame for Museum After Midnight and I'm gonna have to move my q-snap to start a new section tonight 🥳
Working on the @lolacrow.bsky.social Museum After Midnight SAL. Will I finish the frame before the first exhibit drops next month? Stay tuned to find out 😁
Emma was very disappointed she couldn't bring her beach ball on our morning walk. What if we ran into someone who wanted to play ball with dog?
I'm participating in the economic blackout today. You know what doesn't cost money? Taking your dog for a walk in the park and seeing ducklings!
Emma enjoying the view of the Sound yesterday. We had a fun trip down in to Seattle and couldn't have asked for better weather.
Working on the last little dragon from the Tea Dragon SAL and my thread-end sampler. I got through most of my backlog of ends 😊
I've been remiss in posting Emma pics. Here she is yesterday morning with a snoot bedecked in dewdrops.
I've got two WIPs going! A Peppermint Tea Dragon and a thread end sampler. I've got quite a pile of ends to work through.
I am so close to done! Just this last corner of the blue section and then backstitching.
That needleminder is amazing! I am - big surprise - still working on this Tiny Modernist dragon. Getting close though!
Dry citrus vermouth! Made with the peels of 9 citrus fruits. I ended up doing a 2:1 reverse martini with barrel aged gin and grapefruit rosemary glitter bitters.
Made a drink from @eliaseells.bsky.social for the first time tonight! The Extemporist slaps, as does the book that inspired it.
I resisted hand-dyed fabric for a while, trying to keep costs down on this new hobby, but I just love the extra visual texture it creates. I'm still working on this dragon, on fabric from BeStitchMe.
Making good progress on this Tiny Modernist Fall Folk Dragon despite having had to do some frogging over the weekend.
Oh I didn't know y'all allowed dogs! I'll be sure to bring Emma in the next time I'm down in Ballard.
Been enjoying working on this Fall Folk Dragon by Tiny Modernist!
Ready to do the backstitching on Jackelope's Garden by Ingleside Imaginarium. I think it's going to be fun adding spikes to cactus!
Just a few leaves and sparkles left on House of Book Dragons by @thestitchcrypt.com 🐲 Gotta start thinking about framing and then where to hang it in my home!
