Nevermind, maybe I can't count

As you can see, I have made a fair bit of progress thanks to my ability to stay up past my bedtime (that comes at a great cost, but so do most super powers). The problem is that everything to the right is off by two!


Somehow I managed to make the green "arrow" part I've circled 22 stitches instead of 20.  Not quite sure what I was thinking when I didn't count that one and just went entirely based on my gut apparently.

In the interest of having a good time, I am just going to power through as is. Maybe I'll recenter the text, maybe I won't. Everything looks so nice I don't want to undo all of it. Considering it's going to end up as a 3D object we'll see how much this affects things when it's all sewn up.

Le sigh.

    Call it a happy accident, evidence of your own hands, a funny story to point out to people when its done. Hopefully it doesn't affect the final too much, because that really is the worst feeling.

Welcome to the (small) big top

 I'm away from home right now, but knew if I didn't start this blog now I never would. I will post in text and maybe even in doodle or comic form if I'm feeling fancy. I hope to embrace my inner clown this year and be more silly and whimsical! This is for me and my cats to read, but you can stick around if that's your jam.

It is very important to visit your local library. I try to go once a week and I always have a good time. I was able to almost completely break a shopping habit by going on library sprees back when I was in university. Did I read all of the books? No, but I had a lot of fun and didn't get stuck with things I didn't need doing it. The crafty books are among my favourites. I adore all sorts of handicrafts whether or not I have any proficiency in them. For one thing, they always have pictures, or at the very least diagrams, and we all know all the best books have pictures. My haul for my inaugural 2026 library visit includes: 1. A book on making rag dolls 2. Two books on Halloween crafts 3. A thick tome called "Flea Market Flair" 4. My required at least one (1) book about origami I really like origami. I already made one of the models in the book: (I did cheat and tape the back so the pieces don't come apart with the slightest jostle but shhhhh) What's...

Buy local, get crafty

Got everything I needed to start my new project today. I was delighted to find a local art supply store to buy all the materials in lieu of going to Michael's. It was so charming and full of all sorts of fun stuff and the person who assisted me was so helpful and welcoming. I definitely found a new favourite spot. As you can see, I got started basically as soon as I got home. I'm so in love with the colours!
