Amber's wheelchair isn't attached to her! It can be purchased for any mini-size bee we've made.

[Video description: an ace pride striped bumblebee named Amber, made out of chenille yarn, zooms down the street (pillow) in a knitted wheelchair. A black and yellow version, named Cecelia, sees her and asks about her wheelchair. Amber shows off by zooming away. Cecelia says "wow!" The ending shows them side by side, saying "We can be adopted!" Underneath it says "(link in bio)"

Note: The bees do not move during the shots. They were moved in between and the effect of zooming was done by moving the camera.]

A tiny mole! Popping out of a pile of sand! His name is Baxter 🥺

[Image: a cute little knitted mole. There's a knitted pile of sand, and then a top half of a brown mole, popping up out of it. He has a wide pink nose and white yarn claws]

Baxter would like to explore Tumblr. If you boost him, he can pop up in your profile and look around a little!

(Baxter and his friend Adam can be adopted here)

(Cobalt:) Our Rescue Trans Rescue listing is live! https://ko-fi.com/s/99aaeef6b9

If you'd like to adopt a tiny trans turtle while ALSO supporting a great cause, this might be a good purchase for you! This is what Trans Rescue does:

We help trans*, intersex, and other people flee places where it is dangerous to be trans. We help them reach places of safety and reasonable quality of life. We do so legally and securely.

You could also check out the other great art in the Rescue Trans Rescue exhibit here: https://ko-fi.com/inherentlee/shop

Boosting this post is also very helpful, if you'd like! <3

[Image 1: A hand holding a small turtle knitted out of fuzzy chenille yarn. Its shell is blue on the outside and pink on the middle, with the pink forming a star or flower in the middle. It has white French knots (little bumps) for feet, tail, and head. It is 2-3 fingers wide.

Image 2: A hand holding a slightly larger version of the same turtle. The pink star or flower in the middle is bigger and more messy. The French knots are the same size, so in comparison to the larger body, they're proportionally smaller. Little teeny feet. It is 3-4 fingers wide.]

I made a tiny knitted alligator a few weeks ago! Her name is Allie. I got the pattern right in one go, and I'm really proud of that!

[Image description: three photos of a tiny knitted alligator. She has a rich green body, cute little paws, black French knots for eyes, two white French knots for fangs, and several French knots in green along her back for spikes. In the first and second photos, I'm holding her in my hand. The three photos are various different angles. End image description.]

(Saffron:) Today, I fixed a giant rip on a beloved pillowcase! I just slapped a patch on over it. The patch is from a not-worn-out section of a worn-out sheet.

Nålhus aka needle houses aka needle keepers made with wool fabric, protected by a ceramic case. Stamped patterns with inspiration from plants and nature in general and the geometrical lines somewhat inspired by runes.

This is really pretty! 💜💜💜

And useful! I've made myself several from leg bones of deer and sheep.

People often don't realize that needles used to be really hard to make in the olden days. Imagine having a fragile little piece of bone and having to drill a hole to it! (This is why the oldest bone needles didn't have holes but a little cut on the side to hold the thread and that the 1st holed needles are considered a huge leap in early human technology.)

Needles were vital for survival because that's the thing you need to make and fix your garments! Fine needle work was literally a skill that kept you from dying of exposure to harsh weather, that kept your seams water proof* if done right. It's a precious item you wanted to protect from breaking or getting lost, and having a needle holder like this, which you could hang on your belt, is a genius way to keep your needles safe!

Ancient crafts textile Artisan nerding here, why yes I am. I just really love these and think they're super cool! 💜

*if you're curious and want to read more, I highly highly recommend Betty Kobayashi Issenman's book Sinews of Survival: the Living Legacy of Inuit Clothing.
