Yeah, I’m enjoying my vacation right now. It’s 22° at home.
A photo view of the mountains over the pool deck in Honolulu. There’s a ficus tree in a planter on the left, the pool and pool chairs mid distance, then the mountains beyond a low wall. There’s a shady pergola over me.

My newest work: “Three of Wands (A phylogeny of my creativity). I’m really excited to be submitting it to an upcoming exhibit. #PaperWeaving #ThinkingAboutMaking #MakingThings #ArtYear #OnlyBeautifulThings #Collage #CollageMaker #CrochetArt #YarnLove #Crochet #InHerStudio #GiantTassel
A photo of an art piece consisting of three paper weavings that are attached to a stick. The warp is strings and the weft is paper in mostly shades of blue. The leftmost weaving has a giant yellow tassel hanging from it and the rightmost weaving has two blue tassels hanging from it. The stick is about four feet long and there is yarn wrapped around the branches and yarn ends are hanging down to flutter in the breeze.

I’m always dunking something in a tea bath. It is one of my oldest tricks.

The sari silk tassel spent the morning hanging where the yellow tassel is hanging now but I had to swap them out because I needed that yellow there. I’m getting close to done with this piece after work today.

A photo of my right hand holding my crochet and my yarn cake is on a spindle hanging off the back of the driver’s seat. It’s a really sweet setup for car crochet.

Quote with your favorite pic of you from 2025.

@granades.com took this pic when we were on a cruise in the Galápagos Islands in April this year.
A photo of me: a fifty something white woman. I have a pair of sunglasses on my face and reading glasses on the top of my head. My black hair is up in a clip. I’m wearing a safety orange life jacket over a maroon and white striped shirt. I’m onna boat with the wake of the Pacific Ocean visible behind me. I’m smiling a bit and having a truly spectacular day.

I love #ArtVsArtist blocks! Here’s mine for 2025.
A nine square of things I’ve made this year. I’m in the middle wearing my pride flag cowl. There’s watercolor, crochet, and a book I made.

Feferi plotting crime #Corgi #CorgiSky #CorgiCrew
A photo of Feferi, the red and white Corgi, looking so sweet and beautiful when really that head is only full of crimes. She’s sitting on a gray rug back lit by the Southern sun coming in through the blind slats on the back door. She had sun stripe shadows on her face.

Anyway…this is me right now:
A photo of my hand holding some crochet on the hook. You can see my slippered feet on the ottoman. And yes, I’m still wearing my PJs. There’s a lit up Christmas tree on the left and the right is the 2005 Vertigo concert playing on the tv. The dvd quality isn’t great but I’m persevering despite it.

Workspace: Holiday Edition. You can tell it’s festive by the holiday plate and glassware 😂🎄🍕

My desk with work spread all over it. Pens and markers and art in progress. My holly and ivy Christmas plate and a balled up Christmas napkin where I ate my leftover homemade pizza and my Diet Coke in a festive glass.

I’m deep in Christmas present making this week. It’s great for avoiding the hellscape of the news! #CrochetArt #YarnLove #OnlyBeautifulThings #Crochet #MakingThings #ArtYear #ThinkingAboutMaking
A photo of my current crochet work in progress. It’s a light blue panel where I’m currently making the sloooooowest stitch know to woman: the star stitch. Never again. In the background is my Christmas tree and the YouTube video I’m currently watching on my tv.

I leaned into whimsy very hard this year! And it’s made life SO MUCH BETTER!
A photo of a crocheted Baba Yaga’s hut. A photo of a tiny book with a giant pink tassel. A photo of the strawberry and wild berry pop tart kindle covers I crocheted. A photo of me, a middle aged white woman, standing in some blue footed booby feet mugging at the camera.

This is so dumb and easy because we’ve been doing SO many meds for this dog but I think when we switched her food it’s made her allergies better??

A photo of my open “Into the unknown” book on a wooden plank table propped up on some drift wood. There are some sand dollar pieces in the foreground and a shell-shaped bowl behind the propped up book. The ocean is visible off in the distance. The book has a piece of abstract painted canvas in teal and magenta on the left and some abstract graphite marks on the right.

Still drying!!
A photo of my “into the unknown” book that is drying after its dip in the ocean. It’s propped up on a piece of drift wood on a wooden plank table. The open spread is an abstract collage of black, tan, pink, and rust.
