Finally sat down and finished weaving this scarf - it’s using old, old stash yarn Stroll Gradient I bought in 2018 for the warp and hand dyed yarn from Lilliput from 2014(!) for the weft

New sewing FO, which hopefully will see use on my trip next week. The pattern is Kandou Pattern’s sling bag with assorted fabrics that I picked up in Cannon Beach recently.
I feel like bag making is so fun with all the different fabric combinations and notion choices.

Saw this bald eagle on the way to get coffee this morning. I’ve seen quite a few lately, but this was unusually close.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! Whether you are out or not, just questioning, or somewhere in-between, you are valid and matter. Gender is a wonderful diverse spectrum and being ourselves makes the world a better brighter place. Support trans people on #TDOV and always. 🏳️⚧️

I’ve seen accounts of people who found beauty in learning to clean or cook because of how Ghibli portrays those acts and I think that’s also beautiful. Heck, how many folks started art because of Ghibli?

Been inspired by a few different YouTubers (mostly evydraws) to pull out my watercolors again. I usually draw digitally so the feeling of watercolors is intoxicating
I painted this from a photo I took in Astoria last year. There’s things I wish I did better, but it’s good to be practicing again

She’s insisting on helping cut out fabric for a coat.
It’s cute up until she starts trying to eat the pins

Playing with the Siser Juliet I got for Christmas to make a stencil for a mug I made in pottery class. Definitely a bit of a learning curve but I’m fairly happy with it for a first go

Finished Trellis Quilt, which I scaled down to be crib sized. It’s fairly scrappy (my preference for baby quilts), so I tried to be intentional with the quilting to keep it from seeming too busy.
Pattern is by Quiltachusetts and fabric is mostly Ruby Star Society

Is there anything more satisfying than a tubular bind off?
Pattern is Saskie Co’s Tuku sweater out of La Bien Aimee Corrie Confetti and Hello Yarn hand spun

Starting to quilt this baby quilt - I’m still undecided on how to quilt the background, but I’ve got a lot of petals to get through first

Made a holder for my circular knitting needles - they were in a binder before, but I think this will be easier to check whether I have something or put them away. Plus is was the perfect use for this yarn & cats fabric!
