I blorped ink onto the floor when priming my pen to write my Priority for the day.

My priority? “Mindful attention” of course! 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

The pen is a Conklin 350 with semi flex nib and a gorgeous “zebra” finish. Definitely worth making a mess over.

Seaming up a sweater, and it still feels like magic!

My mattress stitch is not precise but is consistent— and remarkably similar to my Kitchener/grafting and blind stitch if I’m honest— and works along with the texture of my fabric to make seams that seem to be seamless!
