Crocheted some pie bun covers to fight pie witches in our dnd game 🥧

Had a very hard week and I really needed an easy, lighthearted project to get through.

This is not my original design - I saw some similar ones on Etsy and made up a pattern to make them myself.

Could someone better-at-patterns than me help me understand what I'm supposed to do here? I don't understand the diagrams or what the end product is supposed to look like.

Picked this up from the library and thought I'd share in case any of my fellow sweetiepies are interested!

Not implying we don't need to be vocal about opposing the rampant misogyny/transphobia/racism/etc but some of us don't have the spoons to be in menace mode all the time.

Just some nature photos I took last year in case you need a timeline cleanse.

This is late, but I made this dress out of a thrifted blanket for Christmas and I think it turned out cute, so I wanted to share it! I used the Ivy Dress pattern by OhMeOhMySewing on Etsy. I made a lot of clothes in 2024, and I feel like I'm finally at a point with sewing where I can make things that I will actually wear. (I've been sewing since I was 12, so it took a while.)

For my first ever contribution to #PortfolioDay, I'm sharing some of the drawing-based pieces I made in 2024!

If this is your first time encountering one of my posts, hi. I'm an artist and designer based in the midwest and I do a lot of printmaking, sewing, and fiber arts. Perhaps you'd like to follow along?

I don't have to certify the quality of a poem written in my sleep.

I would love to be the kind of person who has a year end wrap-up ready to go, but I'm simply not. I made so many projects that I never posted about!

Instead, here's a new multimedia print that I'm starting. The "print" part is forthcoming. Looking forward to making as much space as possible for art-making in 2025 🧚‍♀️

Does everyone's work training platform have a totally superfluous feature where you get coins to build a crest? A feature that developers spent many hours on that has no benefit to the user besides being silly? No?

Finished my quilted bag! This took 30+ hours to make and I felt capitalist guilt the whole time!

Despite that, for my first attempt at both quilting and making a bag, I love how it came out.

Overall, I enjoyed this book. The author encourages the reader to find ways to contribute to social justice movements that employ their unique strengths. The idea of "sensitive soul" is based on Dr. Elaine Aron's research on the "highly sensitive person," which she has also written some helpful books about. There are journaling prompts at the end of many of the chapters, which were sometimes actionable, sometimes reflective.

One concept I found a bit strange was an idea the author put forth that categorized leaders into "warrior kings" or "priestly advisors." However, it is a small section of the book.

The section I found most helpful was Part III, which presented roles in social justice movements that are often suitable for highly sensitive people: Connectors, Creatives, Record Keepers, Builders, Equippers (aka Teachers), and Researchers.

I'd recommend it if you consider yourself a sensitive person and are looking for something to read that feels more productive than doomscrolling the latest political horrors.
@desiree That sounds lovely. Will there be an update when you've read it? (If you haven't read it yet)
@snoopy_jay yes! I just started so I'm not in too deep yet but it's not very beefy so should be a quick read
@desiree Just put on hold at the library—thanks!
