Just cutting some holes and making some lace on a chilly Friday afternoon.

Early Christmas present for me so I can spam all my friends with tiny Stardew Christmas presents 🎁

Hardanger lace? More like hard danger lace.

Follow for more extremely niche needlepoint puns! 💁‍♀️

My favorite thing to do here is to go to popular threads, find all of the trolls and spammers, unleash my inner Karen and go on a blocking/reporting spree. It’s extremely cathartic.

G’morning! My dog would like to show off the new sweater I made for her. She’s so fancy.

My goal on Bluesky is to be relentlessly myself. Unmasked, cringy, awkward, way too much into crafting.

Progress on my needlework: hardanger blocks, achieved!

If Bluesky is indeed an echo chamber, what are the feared consequences for that? We’ve seen spaces held for negativity, intolerance, selfishness and greed and it literally forms N*zis, but what if space is held for positivity, beauty, and progressive policy? What does that echo chamber create? 🤔🤔

Has anybody ever created something that went viral but no one knows you created it? I sure have. And you’re welcome.

This morning I am revisiting a needlework sampler that I haven’t touched since…since I could see fine details in dim light. I used to be pretty good at this!

Hello! I’m Heather Holmquest, a music theorist, singer, and fiber craft maven living in western NY. I haven’t been on The Other Place since it became a single letter and I’ve desperately missed the #musictheory and #musicology communities. Please say hi and I’ll give you a follow!
