I am on holiday in Portugal and found a yarn shop quite by accident. I bought 1000m of this gorgeous night sky colourway. Anyone have an asymmetrical crochet shawl pattern to recommend for this glorious yarn? 🧶 paid patterns are great! #Merino #Silk #Crochet
Skein of merino-silk yarn in a navy, purple, mint, variegated and spelled colourway.

My child has a lot of challenges with internalized beliefs that stem from trauma. They are 15, and we travelled to Portugal from Canada this week. When everything was too much we stopped and found a quiet park to rest in, over looking the river. Curled up like the little one they are in my lap.
Two heads of hair at my midpoint, cuddling in blankets at the Jardim de Morro in Porto, Portugal, over looking the Douro river.

The flames of the first bonfire of 2025. Blessed Beltane, may the Beltane fire spark inspiration in your hearth and banish the struggles holding you back. #Beltane #DruidSky #Blessings
Bon fire of orange flames licking a pile of logs, glowing embers between the stacked wood and brightly contrasted flames rising around the fuel source.

Today’s plan is reading my dad’s galley, being published May 6th; the story of the creation of the Accessible Canada Act, a law that came into place in 2019. #CanadianAuthor #Disability #TheRaceToTheStartingLine #IndieAuthor #Galley 📚💡 📚💙 📚🇨🇦
Holding a galley print of The Race to the Starting Line by Max L Brault, the cover a broken landscape with an electric wheelchair on a point that is surrounded by 2 red chasms which come to a point in the top left corner, the letter I from the last word of the title connecting the jagged red lines. “What you need to know about the Accessible Canada Act for making a barrier-free society”
