What exactly is my responsibility here? To comfort insecure heterosexual men? That can’t possibly fall to me.

“sweetly oblivious old ladies” Hon I 100% guarantee to you that those old ladies are aware of you, your bloodline, your daily habits and your breakfast order and gossip about how rude you are as soon as you leave.

As an introvert, the best thing is finding someone who it isn’t draining to spend time with

[mj-irl]

It’s interesting trying to explain to people who don’t experience social exhaustion that there are some people who are less draining than others and then their are those who are mind numbingly exhausting. All socializing is not equal

Sewing on buttons this evening. My #weechickadee from über soft #bellevuepark 4 ply is finished. And I finally put the pumpkin buttons on the #antlercardigan I knit when I was about 10 weeks pregnant. It's a size 2-4, but I'm trying to get ahead of the growth spurts! #knitting #kidsknits #babyknits

The Department of Extraordinary Embroidery can’t get enough of these exquisitely stitched miniatured foods created by Japanese artist ipnot (previously featured here).

“After discovering embroidery from her Grandmother and then being fascinated by the French knot, ipnot has spent years perfecting her hand-embroidery art and today creates “paintings” using just needles and yarn.”

Working with a collection of 500 different colors and shades of yarn, ipnot creates everything from bowls of soup and sushi rolls to fruits and vegetables to chocolates bonbons and more. Each tiny creations is remarkably realistic.

Our favorite piece is this embroidered miniature matcha, which actually looks frothy and ready to drink:

Visit ipnot’s website or follow her on instagram to check out lots more of her hand-stitched miniatures.
