Hi new followers! My name is Kat. This account is mainly my stitching, and not a whole lot of personal stuff. But if you like crafts/craftivism, project management, interfaith musings, and fighting for equity, I am the friend for you.
Happy Fri-yay, where instead of writing my silly little PM reports I just want to craft something with my hands. Who else can relate?

There's a cafe that specializes in middle eastern desserts that I go to maybe once a month. The woman who makes the desserts does fantastic work. But there's some lore there - her business partner is her ex? But they seem like besties?

Obviously, I need to investigate (eat more warbat kashta).

Today's happy news is that my mom finished radiation treatments this week and gets her port out in two weeks. We can officially say she kicked cancer's ass. 💪🏼🩷

It's February 5th and I am over a month into my pattern no-buy. I had a couple of exceptions:

-Two Patreons (been cycling between designers to help support their work)
- One donation-based pattern (because I was donating to the org anyway, so why not?)

Sometimes I think project managers were born from the group assignment in high school/college. We are A+ students who will never let one person drag down our grade ever again.

Happy February! 🥰 This pattern, Deep Sea Duet, is February's #crossstitch Patreon pattern!

I'm SUPER excited with how this lighting effect turned out! I originally had something else slated for this month, but once I designed these lil guys I couldn't resist 😊 💖 patreon.com/finefrogstit...

Beneath the depths sits a fountain, impossibly flowing, each stray droplet awakening a playful new life.

"Fountain of the Depths" is February's Patreon pattern!

Today in project management problems: a person who only schedules time to cover his problem items from 1-3pm on Fridays, causing Sunday Scaries and Monday Chaos.

In this essay, I will explore how this affects my mental health and contributed to 2 Energy Drink FAFO Kat.

Anyway, I have been crafting more because it's been incredibly grounding for my mental health. No shock there. Today, I colored valentines with a group at work. A few days ago, kinusaiga. Last week, weaving. Tonight I'll frog my cross stitch, but be back stitching again tomorrow.

I shouldn't have shared that WIP yesterday because today I need to frog half of it, UGH.

"I was only following orders" wasn't an acceptable excuse at the Nuremberg trials & won't work now.

I really think that seeing Aaron Tveit perform "One Night in Bangkok" live could heal everything inside of me...but I'll take the cast recording as a compromise. #chess #chessbroadway

Just saw a picture of stuffed animals in the woman's car and man...I really am struggling to find the words right now. This is all just so unspeakably devastating, and I don't know how we come back from it.

Hey, hi, hello. I've been burned out on social media. It's been a tough year personally. But we are almost on the other side! Because I am a project manager, here are my lessons learned of 2025:

Romantic comedies taught me that I am very likely to run into people I knew 20 years ago when I am in my hometown, but so far, nada.
