No clue what to put here. Am the actual WORST at bios.

Crochet, spinning, various fiber arts. Books, sarcasm, CATS.
Last night's almost buttermilk skies.

It was quite lovely before the storms.

One more day to snatch up this gorgeous monthly club member skein "Vermillion Voyager". Time for us to have a little brightness in our stashes. The colorway is based on a beautiful 17thc scene of a Moorish merchant. 🧶

I have a joke about Penelope that I'll tell you as soon as I finish weaving this shroud.
I have a joke about Cassandra but you wouldn't believe it
I have a joke about Theseus and the Minotaur but it’s too horny.

it’s a great time to remind everyone to keep your cats indoors. i don’t want to hear that shit about how your cat is desperate to go outside or is used to being out there. i had an outdoor cat i had to bring inside after 13yrs. i know how they are. she lived to 20. they’ll get over it & so will you.

Joann’s closing post their monopoly destroying a lot of small fabric businesses across the country is gonna impact cosplayers, and sewing/crafting hobby-ists of all kinds.

But hopefully it will give a chance for new small local fabric shops to pop up as well as those shops struggling to survive…

The Bishop Arts District in Dallas, TX is well worth a visit.

Definitely my favorite part of a recent work trip.

There is a light speckling of black & silver throughout just to give some dimension to your work. It's called Pedro's Turquoise Teal.

For now, enjoy the colorway & a mini lecture on some early modern Afro-Indigenous ppl. 🧶

Work has me pretty exhausted right now. I want to be all excited and sharing all the things, but I'm tired.

Given the state of the US it seems minor, but it affects my abilities heavily.
