Fruiting Body
@garnettillie
Queer in many directions. Disabled. Reader. Embroidery, costumes, gluten free baking. Food motivated and anxious (both me and my dog).
I went back to the clay studio because why buy whimsical things when you can make whimsical things?
As someone with the #MECFS flavor of #LongCOVID, I DO let my dog decide when it's time for a rest.
Nothing says surgery recovery like re-reading Hench then reading Villain by @nataliezed.bsky.social
This week, my partner and I got legally married. We'd have a commitment ceremony 3 years ago but with the horrors we decided to formalize our relationship. We were witnesses by my bestie, their spouse and Coco. It was short and sweet and definitely something I'm glad we've done.
Happy Pride Month from your neighbourhood mostly Sapphic Enby disabled weirdo. Remember that Silvia and Marsha want more freedom and rights for ALL, especially trans women and SW.
If you see this and you wanna, quote with a pic of you wearing sunglasses.
I also made myself a pillow for top surgery recovery! I made another one several years ago, but it's out there hopefully still being used.
Creative retreat! I did a bunch of stuff! I'm also sillier when my spoons aren't eaten up by work. I love @maydela.bsky.social for making a vacation for us.
This is just your humble canine companion, inspecting my leather carry-on for bed suitability.
Today I'm diving into my embroidery UFOs and trying to set up each project as a seperate bag with necessary supplies in it. Then I can prioritize and/or jump between projects as needed. It's a relief. Then I can set up 2 new projects. I'm DNFing this experimental hoop.
Turns out organizing this on my lunch break is a bad idea when you have chronic fatigue.
Coco updates. Him cuddling his rescue human, and being excited to play with Kathleen.
I'm hand stitching and my dear Coco is napping at my hip. This is so good.
It's also been a year since we brought home an anxious rescue dog, made sure he got neutered and dental surgery. Coco has changed our home and our hearts.
My household loves a big mug. I recently commissioned one from @starlastarfruit.bsky.social and it's gorgeous. Also here's some pics of how large our mugs are. We also have the beer stein my mother's prep school gave her and it holds 750g of liquid.
Today has been a day off trying to scrape dopamine out of the bottom of the neurochemicals but hey! No more time changes after this spring!
Recent clay makes. I've been socializing with people via clay dates.
I only worked half a day today because someCoco sat emphatically on my feet in a way that let me know he was picking up on my fatigue.
Ever feel like being uncomfortably thirsty and horrified? Read Spread Me by @sarahgailey.bsky.social
I'm mostly recovered from my crash but still gotta be careful. I have a soft dog, a loving partner, a sustainable job, amazing friends and had a satisfying weekend. I also for to support my local fat clothing swap and collect items for a friend. It was very satisfying.
Coco is currently holding my to do list hostage in the most nefarious way: he is curled up next to me and ever so often pushes his body closer to mine. Don't send help.
This weekend I'm gonna try to make The Food of my People, corned beef hash, allergy adjusted.
My hair has decided to reward me by doing unexpectedly cute n curly things.
