I think that'll do for the design... Will make some hearts and waves to disguise the supports.

When the dolphins you're making for a topper turn out so large that you have to redesign the whole thing... But in my defence, they are blooming cute! #postboxsaturday #postboxtopper #crochet #yarnbombing

All of my items ready for my first craft fair tomorrow, including three of my ex-display post box toppers! I am incredibly nervous, but it should be a fun day. If nothing else there will be mulled wine and mince pies!

I rarely open Twitter now, logged on today and within moments I felt that twisted pit of fear, disappointment and anxiety for humanity as it feeds you the hellscape cultivated since Musk took over. Fear and anger fuel engagement. We were being farmed for his $$ Bluesky feels like the old Twitter ❤️

I have no idea why, but I'm obsessed with these derpy little buggers 😂

Struggling to get stuck into a new platform after Twitter, but thank you to everyone who has recently followed me. I'm sure I'll get used to this one soon enough, but until then, here's come of my cute makes ready for my first craft fair. I'm super nervous! #christmas #craftFair

The Stardew Valley sign is finished!! Stitched on 14 count plastic canvas, it’s about 3 months of work, from design to completed stitching. This will be part of a collaboration with my town’s yarn bombers in the new year, so watch this space! #StardewValley #CrossStitch

Day 10/20 in my goal to make 100 Christmas tree decorations for my first craft fair. Yesterday I managed to make 24 rainbow octo's 😲 bringing my total to 106 items made. I have about 50 more octo's to make, so I'll be back with another update tomorrow.

Someone requested Christmas tree brussel sprouts, so here we are… the things I do 😂

Trying out some tree-gonks! They're super chunky and use a lot of yarn so they'll be a bit more expensive, but they are very cute ❤

The final piece of advice I would like to give to new folks tonight is that Bluesky will be what you make of it. When I came over from the former Twitter, I resolved to be more kind to others here than I was over there. That choice has made being here so much better. Keep it in mind for yourself.

I can't change the world, no matter how much I would like to. But if I can make one person smile, even just for one moment, then that is enough for me. My first post box topper has been installed! I hope people enjoy it. #yarnBombing #knitting #crochet #handmade

Time for me to move away from Twatter and find my tribe in a new, not so toxic space. Looking for folks to follow who are IT nerds (like me), into Cyber, gaming, crafting, and general creatives. Bonus points if you love Christmas and Spooky season! I promise to follow back unless it's a bot!
