A few months before he passed away in 2003, a 74 year old children’s television host sat down in the same studio where he had filmed 895 episodes over 33 years and recorded one last message. It wasn’t for children. It was for the adults who had grown up watching him.

Fred Rogers hosted Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood on American public television from 1968 to 2001. For over three decades he walked into the same set, changed into a cardigan and sneakers, looked directly into the camera, and spoke to children as if each one of them was the only person in the room. He never raised his voice, never talked down to his audience, and never rushed a single moment.

In that final recording, he looked into the camera one last time and said “I’m just so proud of all of you who have grown up with us. And I know how tough it is some days to look with hope and confidence on the months and years ahead. But I would like to tell you what I often told you when you were much younger. I like you just the way you are.”

He passed away from stomach cancer on February 27, 2003. He was 74.

This person needs a dog!

I continue to stand by my statement - this person needs a dog…. like this one! He turned 14!

We had to say our final goodbyes to him on Tuesday. Even through the heartbreak that losing him has brought I still stand by the above statements - this person needs a dog.

fiber artists be like “this project has shaven years off my life. for endless hours I have toiled with no end in sight, a man dying in the desert of my own foolishness. my loved ones will find my withered remains hunched over in my armchair, skeletal hands grasping the finished piece that drove me to my early grave. ooooh that pattern looks awesome I must start it right away”

That awful feeling when the stitch count doesn’t add up. I’ve got a “stitchuation” happening.

accidentally have the potential to be too powerful now that I have a sewing machine. am I good at sewing? no. am I restraining myself from buying fabric with the garden of earthly delights on it so I can wear it as a shirt? absolutely. how do people who can sew restrain themselves from making a ton of stupid shit

[nonasuch]

we do not.
