in the name of the Lord
You draw better when you have eaten. Stupid critics are an excellent source of protein.
A resident of Hamnavoe, Shetland Islands in Scotland, Anne Eunson decided to knit herself a beautiful lace fence using twine. The fence is fashioned from strong black twine - the same kind that is used to make fishing nets - and Anne knitted it on specially adapted curtain rods. It took her about three weeks to knit enough lace to surround her front garden, using a 23 stitch repeat of a familiar Shetland lace pattern.

😮😮😮🧶
I acrually know someone who did this, but made it into a trellis for her garden plants instead of a fence.
Found out I was short fabric on another project and decided I wasn’t going into town to pick it up, so I pulled a jelly roll out to keep myself busy until I went back to town.
Figured I do a quick quilt top, you know, just throw something together.
And then I made two blocks of the forty eight needed for this Harvest quilt and boy howdy.
Not a quick quilt two day top, this one LOL
The blocks look fantastic ofc.
And the quilt! She be gorgeous!
Love that fuck-off bright yellow I picked for the cornerstones, they’re perfect for this.
Thinking about quilting it in a blue thread, but we’ll see when I audition colours lol
So we have this bin of partially used bobbins for the long arm. And we only have so many bobbins of course.
I decided that since the quilt top was so colourful, I’d put plain flat black cotton the back and use up some of these bobbins, making the quilting on the back really stand out.
Holy shit did it work or what! I love it, of course LOL
I used a medium purple on the top so it would fade into the patchwork and not show up too much on the background. The quilting pattern is called Pink Lemonade and it is one of my favourite quilting patterns.
I didn’t have any left over border fabric, so I found a nice blue that matched with that print and made it my binding. I debated using purple, but couldn’t convince myself to do it.
The blue looks good though, from the front and the back.
I love the idea of Use Up Bobbin thread!
art store: welcome, we have all manner of supplies to help you create literally anything
atticus: do you have (basic supplies i found on a manga video)?
art store: HISS. KILL YOU WITH $5000 HAMMER. FUCK YOU.
atticus: ah ha, this is just like early 2000s art school all over again
in my extensive experience, every art store has exactly 1 of 3 vibes (I guess 4, there is a variant) from the day it opens
absolute corporation, you feel like you are in a prison and you aren't sure if your behavior will be tolerated enough to be allowed to leave when your time is up
superficial nice but utterly and completely focused on The Old European Masters and if you do not want to create like The Old Masters then they will beat you to death the minute you ask for something else. VARIANT -- same attitude -- but the most commercially modern art phase-of-the-month.
you have no idea what is going on when you walk in and everything you think you need is "oh wow, yeah, okay how about..." and they suggest something you have never heard of, is more expensive than you planned on spending, but once you try it, you realize it is AMAZING and you have no idea how you've gotten this far making whatever without it
then there is the hardware store
which is an off-label art store with less speciality but almost always significantly cheaper
100% this.
There are several variants of #2 but its always "are you doing the Correct Art?" (Spoiler: I am never doing the Correct Art.)
We have a #3 that unofficially supplies the art and design school. They don't have everything; but they have a lot considering their floor space is approximately 12 sq inches.
i beat myself up for not knowing enough about my special interests a lot but then i remember the average person off the street has no idea what the carboniferous is and i feel better
are you really bad at it or are you in "good at it" spaces
"are you really bad at it or are you in 'good at it' spaces" has derailed so much self-hate since I read it
this is a load bearing sentence in my psyche and I can't believe it's only 2 months old
This. I keep telling my newbie crafters that they can't compare themselves to me - I've been doing this full time for more than a decade.

Sewing and wasn't paying attention to which container I was putting the pins in
This is why you use DIFFERENT containers for food and non food. Mugs are for food. Go get something different, like a fabric box or cardboard or plastic bins for your sewing (or painting or drawing or...) equipment.
For God's Sake, DO NOT USE MUGS to wash out your brushes!
Art!
do more things your child self would be in awe of
This is seriously one of the reasons I do my drop spinning in public. It's a magic wand. Children (and often adults) will come stare at it. And then I explain what I'm doing and they're even more amazed.
Colours of January 2026
This scavenger hunt is the newest enrichment in my enclosure - feel free to join in!
Redtwig dogwood? / sunset / sunburst lichen / yucca / sky / black raspberry brambles / rabbit tracks in snow / coyote silhouette / pinecone
Bonus:
(I did have to dip into my expanded winter rules this month, the raspberry brambles pic was taken last month but I know they look the same all winter, I just couldn’t get a more recent picture because temperatures got down to -15° before wind chill and I’m not built for that lmao)
I managed most of the colors in January crafting!
No one can kill themself today, you have to make a little homunculus out of clay or perhaps dough today. You must create a small thing and show me for wizard homework, it’s due today
Here is one I created earlier.

@eagle-writes
Today I worked on more 3D printable Patreon requests!
I worked on a baby Tarrasque, which I cheerfully dubbed... the Tarrasqling!
I also worked on a Swarm of Animated Books!
Free stls : https://mz4250.com/posts/147819437
Have a great weekend folks!
@kaypendragon, relevant to your interests, i believe
Yes. I want both. I don't know what a tarrasque is, but he's clearly a Good Boy.
It's slow going but The Pile CAN be smallened!
Hell yeah! Progress is incremental! And that's ok!
It sure is! And as I said in the blog post I wrote about The Pile, if it's been built up over many years it's unrealistic and unfair to yourself to expect to finish all those things quickly.
Also I added 2 more things to The Pile in 2024, but none in 2025, so I'm getting much better at finishing things before moving on to new things! It gets easier and easier to pick up old projects the more of them I do too!
