First work in progress in ages 🌸 #embroidery

Watching the bees at my window 🐝

For today, and just today, I'm going to try to pretend that the world is functioning as it should and that we're all happy and fine JUST SO THAT I CAN BE PRODUCTIVE AND GET SHIT DONE WITHOUT FEELING THE EVER-PRESENT NEED TO WALLOW IN SADNESS + STRESS.

It's been a hot minute since I last stitched something 🫣 (Pretend those lines are straight)

I constantly ruminate about embarrassing moments, but I always stop myself at "I hate myself." Because I don't. In fact I think I'm pretty cool sometimes. I have flaws, that doesn't make me a shitty person. There are very shitty people in the world and I'm most definitely not one of them.

I've been trying to convince myself take better care "for my mental health" but that sounds like an abstract idea that won't make me want to. Then I thought "do it for yourself--you're a person, do it for you." And I defiantly thought "I'm not a good enough reason." I instantly hated that thought 😬

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. When interacting with ICE, you have rights guaranteed by the Constitution, no matter your immigration status. ⬇️

Heads up! The @aclu.org Immigrant Rights Project has an EXCELLENT online resource available in multiple languages to walk immigrants or advocates through various scenarios of encounters with immigration officials or police. It includes contact #s for local ACLU offices. www.aclu.org/know-your-ri...

Strive to create something that outlives the people you feel spite for.

I think the sexual tension between my hair and my fabric scissors has returned.

Oops 👁️👄👁️

Gosh, am I days behind in #januARTy 😅. My apologies! Here is my belated Day 10: blue! I’m created seascapes featuring whales this month (as I often do in January). This one is #fabriccollage with beading, sequins, and metallic thread!

Just got an Amazon package from a lady delivering from her car 🤨 Is Amazon making people use their own car now??

Sometimes I really wonder if I'm easily overstimulated or reasonably overwhelmed by the never-ending noise pollution happening specifically in my neighborhood 🫠

not sure if some people understand that part of what makes creating so rewarding is the fact that it *is* hard. It doesn’t matter if you’re been painting or writing for 80 years— every piece will have problems that need solving, and few things feel better than figuring it out.

I'll never understand why people go out of their way to save the photo of someone's art and upload a new post themselves saying "credits to [artist]." There's a literal repost button... Like what is this need to gain imaginary internet points? You're so weird for that 🤨

It's so interesting the way my motivation sky rockets when there's no one else in the house...

Updates to Terms of Service these days: "We're going to be listening to everything you say, collecting data on everything you do, selling that info to third parties AND using it to train AI, oh and you can't sue us" 🙃

It's wild that my mom coughs like a toddler when she's sick but *I* get yelled at for begging her to cover her mouth 😭

I made a tiny bow 🎀

I wrapped a bag of chips for giggles but why am I looking forward to opening it now lmao

Working on some mechanisms #crafts #artsandcrafts

Making it a goal to make another embroidered mechanism by the end of this year, even if it's a small one.

A little mechanism for my username ☺️

The opposite would be true for me--I stare at my work for so long that I think it looks fine. Then I give it a day and return to it wondering how I didn't notice how off it looks 😂

Quickly approaching the end of the year which means another year of "Oh, I didn't get to all the art I wanted to make." And honestly this time around I'm just glad I'm getting some momentum going rn.

This project may have become too intimidating 🫠 #embroidery #studioghibli

4 minutes before death👻 #ghosttrick

My Chappell Roan beaded embroidery portrait with 51/55 of the beads I used (4 were in little bags and didn’t fit into the array).

another woven piece; this one's called "hold it back as best you can"

chains are still chains, no matter how comfortable

Fiber friends, it is done! My current masterpiece is complete and truly amazing! The rainbows turned out so fun AND it lights up! All details by request, blue like Starry Night mushrooms, and rainbows because it's magic. Got permission to share photos, meet the Mr Presto. #crochet 🧶 #fungifriends 🍄

Finished this #crossstitch memento for my Star Wars obsessed little brother of his cat that passed away #craftysky

My favorite embroidery piece I've made yet! This one is tiny, but I hope to make a giant one someday! #art #embroidery

A cross stitch I did for a friend. My first one and I enjoyed it! #mothman #crossstitch #cryptid

It's a humbling process

A little edit 📦

One of my favorite embroidery projects. This took so much time, but I'm obsessed with the florals. Still looking for mutuals! #promosky #embroidery #flowers #floral

it would be extra special if i got another order before the end of the month 🖤✨ consider checking out my work if you’re planning on shopping small for the holidays! #art#shopsmall#craft#artist

Some recent sunsets! 🌅 #embroidery
