I learned to sew this past year and made a ridiculously snuggly fleece cat cape and a comfy catstooth jersey dress. Both have pockets of course. Now i have a ridiculous amount of fabric and patterns to play with.
I contributed to this project as one of 50 animators. Which 2-second segment was mine? Probably one of the really impressive ones, I’d let you imagine. You’d be wrong, but I’d let you imagine it, haha.
Just the same, I’m really happy I got to contribute and try my hand as a very noob animator.
I liked the circles that fell down onto sticks and rose up as flowers... But seriously, participating in a collaborative project like that takes courage. Well done!!
I think our diva hasn’t realized the timid is cuddling her yet. Out two foster fails. Rachel was born with megacolon and has needed meds and special food. Rolo has always been timid but is starting to come for pets. Getting a timid to feel safe with you is such an incredible feeling.
No matter how hard some people try to make the world difficult and nasty, there will always be people like you working to make it beautiful and good. Thank you for doing these!!!
FYI there's a background and the like associated with that panel. But we changed the pose and that's what we've been sending info back and forth about- that's why there's nothing else there.
I have a pamphlet published by the U.S. Army in 1945 called “How to Treat the Germans.” It told troops to keep their distance with these words: “They look like us but they’re not like us. They’ve been under the spell of a madman since 1933.”
Yesterday, in San Francisco ( here on a trip) with my son we took a diverless cab! Weird with no one at the steering wheel but felt perfectly safe. The way forward in cities. Car by Jaguar tech stuff by google ( i think) .
I was able to take my morning pack to play at the park every day this week! Fun for all!

There are so many quilts on auction sites these days, so much beautiful work done in the past that is simply not appreciated now. So glad you went and enjoyed it!
It was so wonderful. I had my doubts because the arrival area is tacky but once you’re in Hobbiton it’s like truly stepping into the books. I did the dinner tour and I’ll cherish it the rest of my life.
I read a book in which a paladin was sold poorly dyed red yarn at a steep discount and he knit his companions pink socks (Paladin's Grace by T. Kingfisher) and it reminded me that I had some pink wool just languishing in my yarn stash. . . So I knit myself "paladin socks"
Took a few of my hens for a walk to the front yard. Here is Duchess, supremely affronted by the harness. (I'm in city with small-ish lot sizes and many local dogs so no free ranging at my house)
I adore hollyhocks. The seaside town a couple of miles away has great swathes of them along all the railings just growing straight out of the pavements. I am pea green with envy mixed with delight. They’re so beautiful!!
A bracelet I beaded. It's a design I created based on an antique "overshot" blanket we had at home when I was a child. Overshot is a weaving technique where there are two different layers woven above and below one another, usually one wool and one linen. Popular in the 19th century.
Before & after. I tackled the side of mine & our new neighbors homes. The previous owner was a bit of a slob.
She (new owner) put in so much work transforming the blue house, hers. What a difference.
Women rock!
Thank you!!
I agree. Should’ve taken a picture of before I removed all the overgrown weeds & trees! Couldn’t even see the blue house! Plus it was rat infested!! Ugh!
One of my three Beastie Boys, this one is Blackberry and his latest fascination is chewing on books. I'm also not totally sure he's a cat, or if he's just pretending to be one.
I love photography. This zoo photo I took juxtaposes an orangutan, totally of nature, with a cold, sterile man-made environment. It speaks to me of the disservice we do to animals, even through our conservation efforts, by putting them in inadequate, unnatural environments. #photography
Nah, he’s a big floofy softie who’s called adorable all the time. He doesn’t mind 😉 He’s always watching me and following me around. He has to make sure he doesn’t miss anything! 😂
Finished one tea towel, started the next! I use vintage linens & iron-on transfers and I also stitch feminine quotes on some I’ve embroidered or some previously stitched by others
These are my cats, Dobby (left) and Tribble, on the first quilt I made. It still looks good! Fraying in spots. It's well used. I picked out the fabric in 15 minutes before the shop closed. When I went back to buy the backing fabric, the clerk exclaimed, "It's square!" First quilts are usually wonky.
We finally got Mecca to take his tranquilizer pills so that we could wrangle him into the carrier, but he bit, twisted, clawed, screamed and ran under the bed, so we had to cancel. Then, when it was too late, he proceeded to climb onto the bed and conk out.
Wow … That sounds like classic cat! We were dreading what Mecca might do to the vet if we had managed to get him there. We’re hoping he gradually moves past his trauma, but in the meantime, he’s quite intense.
Combining “something I’ve made” with “pets” theme, here are some portraits I drew of pets belonging to family & friends as gifts. They’re digital but still hand drawn with a stylus the same way I draw in traditional media, no AI here. I mostly draw cars so not as practiced at animals.
I've almost finished this cross stitch I started in January. To the detriment of getting anything "productive" done on the weekends. But gardening season is looming so I must finish.
I found this beautiful statue in Sedona AZ and it reminds of the vulnerability people I actually care about who are being disserviced under the current US administrations policies.
Lol that's actually for quality control. Every time the baby is taken from the nursery, the codes on the band must match the mom's so they leave that out of the swaddle.
It is extraordinary. Watched a NatGeo series on four of their photographers. Extremely good, of course, and such amazing photographers. They each did exactly what you did - work it 'til it was right.
We just moved and are preparing our home to be the ultimate cat mansion. Cat door window for once the porch is screened in and litter box closet entrance.

I met a Canadian couple and apologized on behalf of our country.
I’ll try to make up for it next week.
But nothing to -show-.
I’ve been slacking on my photography to be honest, and using the weather as an excuse.
Surrealist pieces : Art by Tai
Tile & Metal sculptures: Nicole Brin Designs.
one this year.
Congratulations 😍
Stained glass
Pickles
I'm not exactly sure why I've made 92 stained glass pickles... but they exist now and I'm rather proud.
Several will be gifted.
The teeny tiny ones will be put in a small decorative jar.
But the main project might be
A Pickle Chandelier
For my outhouse.
I don't know yet.
