Sushi Rejection Project Update: Acceptance! You know how some pieces are just closer to your heart than other pieces? Yeah, this is one of those. I'm especially happy because I am VERY good at writing about humans in some sort of vague void of "house" or "not house" and that's as exciting (1/2)

Everything sucks. We are all overwhelmed. What can we do? Well… we can help others. Let’s help some Brooklyn Park, Minnesota folks make their rent payments. We're going to clear the board, folks get their rent money, and it’s gonna feel amazing. Wins all around! www.gofundme.com/f/minnesota-...

The #CameronButtonUp so far! The front (which was cut from a failed skirt) looks fabulous, turns out the back WAS too good to be true (it was ever so slightly off centre) so now I'm a member of the Enterprise YAY

I donated to Critical Rent Assistance for Central Neighborhood Families in Minneapolis, they are helping people who can't go outside meet their rent in the midst of these scary times. If you can spare a few dollars, that would be amazing:

Front pieces for the #CameronButtonUp shirt are cut! The disappointing skirt is proving to be an excellent source of scrap fabric. This time I WILL take credit for the way the solid black flows, SO EXCITED TO SEW THIS

Success! I'm at the end of my sewing budget for the month so I'm cannibalizing failed projects. This skirt was a massive disappointment, but as the back of my #CameronButtonUp it's going to be GORGEOUS. (I take no (1/2)

Three Good Things – 28 January 2026

Today as usual there are three good things: One I appreciate from my life, one (and actually a bonus second one this time) story of someone doing good in the world, and finally a way you can also be part of bringing good into the world.
