My online shop will be part of the Friday strike.
But one thing I'm planning to offer tomorrow is a free Patreon post with a PDF of "Etoile du Nord" for you to print out at home. It's been such a hard road for us all lately, and you all deserve something good.

ICE shot a woman the next neighborhood over, in front of a friend of mine. The woman died. We're all really frightened and angry. There's video, and tons of witnesses to what happened. It's horrifying.

It's Monday, so I'm back on my shenanigans, finishing up little projects and putting up listings in my online shop. But that leafy choker needed juuuuust a few more beads, and I'm keeping it for myself.

This week I'm basically taking "off" for a nice staycation. So there's been cooking, and tidying up, and virtuous gym-going and whatnot. And I've been playing with art supplies I haven't really tried in a big way. I broke out some of the new Posca markets, and have been having a really good time...

Dear fellow Minnesotans; do you have some sweaters that could use cleaning? This snowstorm is the perfect opportunity to snow-wash your woolen clothes. While you're out shovelling, take your sweaters outside, cover them in snow and leave them for 10 minutes or so.
