My advent window went up today!
My neighbor who creates some truly legendary advent windows thinks I beat him this year ;)!

Hello! ✨

I forgot to share that I was fortunate enough to do some of the cover art for the 2nd issue of Mall Le Brí (there's been a slight name change) along with the Irish illustrator Lauren Lee!

They are still looking for some collaborators for the next issue so if you're interested a video from the editor is on my profile and some details are below. If you could share/pass this on to someone interested that would be great! Thank you!! ✨
------------------------------------------------
Issue 3 of MALL le brí is on it's way and I'd love for you to get involved

If you're an artist, creative, and/or an Irish lover or speaker I want to hear from you

DM the editor on insta (Mall.Le.Brí) to pitch your idea

Or you can send your idea or submission to our email popbox.ie@gmail.com

Let's make Issue 3 bigger, better, and more diverse than the last

A committee has studied the matter and recommends that the historic site be dedicated to a new "McGuffey Community Arts and Crafts Center", costing the taxpayers just under $12,000 in start up costs (about $72,000 in current dollars). #ArtsAndCrafts
Uhhh - my first ever crochet post is out now.
And there is hope for more.

Let me introduce you to: Tiny Flowerpots, the series where we'll crochet multiple adorable little plants and add them to our crochet planters.

The first part is entirely dedicated to making a round flowerpot.
And the future posts will focus on making plants to put "in" the pots.

(I'll hopefully get the first plant-post out this week; but no promises 🙈)

On the Horizon 24D: The City of North Adams, Massachusetts

(Almost) immediately south of the Vermont state line and Bennington County, immediately east of the Town of Williamstown, is the smallest city in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts: North Adams. While North Adams is a city of a mere twelve thousand people (approximately), the smallest city remains very important to the culture of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts by way of the Berkshires. Though not much exists in terms of the quantity of amenities within such a small city, the state college […]

On the Horizon 24C: Williamstown, Massachusetts

The Town of Williamstown is located at the extreme northwestern corner of both Berkshire County and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, adjoining the New York and Vermont state lines. Immediately to the north is the Town of Pownal, in Bennington County, Vermont. The Town of Pownal is also better known as the “Gateway to Vermont” and is located at the southernmost point of U.S. Route 7 in the Green Mountain State. As the region locally forms a tri-state area, each of the regional cultures […]

#FotoVorschlag: Zahlen: vier // Numbers: four

Vier Blattfüchse als Türdeko in der alten Wohnung. Damit war mein Basteltalent bis aufs Äußerste ausgereizt.

Four leaf foxes decorating our door in the old flat. This is the height of my artistic talent.

Fumbling through felting tip #2: the hoop is optional!

And it's very easy to correct mistakes by felting over it! A little work can go a long way, so it's fast, too!

You'll also break needles. You may or may not go through periodic spells of 'gleeful stabbies' that precipitate a needle break.

I give it a 9/10 recommended for the #disabled and #chronicillness crowd.

@meoralis Was es nicht alles gibt! 🤣👍
@effdeekaa@mastoart.social Hatte die Idee auch nur irgendwo anders her geklaut 😅 Aber es ging schön schnell und einfach und dem Kind hat's gefallen
@meoralis Ah, dann kann ich das ja bedenkenlos weiterklauen! Dem Kind in mir gefällt es jedenfalls sehr. 😄
@meoralis I love these!😍🥰
@bluejay@ohai.social Haha, thanks 😅 Saw this somewhere (probably on the interwebs) and thought we could give it a try. It's simple and you don't need special skills or tools, yay. Though a surprisingly high number of things can go wrong (I think we lost two foxes on the way) 😂
@meoralis Sometimes the simplest things are the most delightful. You could also find different, bigger leaves and make fox bodies!🥰
@bluejay@ohai.social Ooooh, now there's an idea! 🤩 Maybe I'll keep that in mind for next year's hallway window decorations. I skipped autumn decorations for lack of inspiration, and I'll need to do some Christmas drawings soon (I normally use chalk pens). But leafy foxes sound brilliant! It would take some serious leaf collecting and drying though. Most of them are now dirty, broken, and soggy.
@meoralis Good luck! Please share photos if you do 😊
They are adorable! 😍
Haha, thanks, especially the one with the runny mascara 🤣
O' Canada 🫡🫡🫡
🤭 I would think they are bright red 🍁
Normally yes but it's autumn
These are quite creative 😁 now that's all I can think of when I see these leaves
😄 Foxes everywhere!
@meoralis Fun and creative... Bravo ! 😀
@jlbouzou@mastodon.social I can't take credit for the idea, but thank you! 😊
@meoralis This is such a joyful photo and decoration. Thank you for spreading some playfulness on my timeline 🦊🍁
@meoralis wie süß ☺️😻🦊
@wolfmond@norden.social 🤭 Danke! Auch wenn sie ein bisschen verunglückt sind ... Der Wille war da 😂
Adorable and creative, love it! :)
Haha, thanks! 😄
