I just darned a hole in my favorite hoodie using embroidery floss - red on red. At first, I was really disappointed, as it's kind of messy. Then I realized it looks like a scab, and suddenly it's kind of gnarly and I love it.

When the floral designers have had enough, well... things gotta change.

This is the design crew with whom I started my career. I'm so proud of them.

I’ve had this little #earthlingemoji character sitting on my laptop for many years. Today, I made it public!

High-res files are now live on GitHub as an #opensource emoji set for anyone to use, remix, or build upon. I hope people use it!

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

If you suffer from depression as I do, please take care of yourself. See a therapist if you can. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helped save my life and get me out of the rut of faulty thinking. You can also look for depression support groups in your area. Take care of you! You are needed and loved. 💜

This is the time of year when I share my Christmas originals. "Am I Ready" is a conversation between Mother Mary and the Holy Spirit... a lament-to-affirmation about being able to do the hard thing... much like we all do in times such as these. 🙏

New #floralarrangement: pink hydrangea, orange ranunculus, pink stock, leucadendron, orange protea, blue larkspur, aspidistra leaf, and seeded eucalyptus.

This is one of my favorites... done without too much thought, but instead, moving fast and trusting my hands.

Just some #florandesign favorites from my portfolio! More at heathersuccio.com.

NOTE: All photos have #alttext. Most importantly, it helps those who need vision assistance. But it also helps me cement my knowledge of floral terminology!

This afternoon, I took myself on a creative field trip to my favorite hangout: Hunt and Gather in SE #Minneapolis.

Every time I go, I'm reminded that the world is weird. Indeed, it has always been weird, and will always be weird.

I find this to be very, very soothing.

Made an arrangement for a colleague going to a celebration of life tomorrow. I always pray over these... in gratitude for whatever good the person did in their lifetime.🙏

I raised up this beautiful #monarchbutterfly from its start as a tiny little egg on a tiny little milkweed leaf. I will never tire of being an annual participant in this miracle of science, and spirit. #nature #conservation #monarchwatch

Colors and shapes: Earth-inspired, but with sharper lines. I forgot how much I love to do modern graphic design work. 🙂

I've been raising monarch butterflies for almost 30 years. This is one of four that I released into the world today.
