Landscape in a match box.
Maybe not a very exciting scene, but the place means something to me. And now I can take it anywhere! 😊

"A man in Taiwan is helping reduce fashion waste by creating a sustainable alternative to artificial textiles from an already existing waste stream.
He’s using oyster shells—which when ground up and processed can produce a flexible yarn similar to sheep’s wool that’s been appropriately dubbed 'sea wool.'"

I started writing again, partly to fundraise for medical expenses, and partly for the sheer fun of it. Hope all y'all in my Mastodon community can take a moment to check it out, let me know what you think! 💞🧶🥰

Went to a short workshop on "embroidery on the unusual" today.
I've previously stitched paper a fair bit (and some pre-drilled wood & metal) but we also played with balsa wood, copper shim & reclaimed metal sheet (tomato puree tube).
But this biscuit was staring at me from the snack plate the whole time. It had ready-made holes! The tutor thought it was hilarious 😄
(We didn't have much time so I kept my designs simple - I like lines 😄)
Look at this brand spanking new beauty!
Over the past year, I have finished many machine sewing projects and my old sewing machine was no longer sufficient.
Coinciding with my wish for a new machine was the fact I was lucky to celebrate a "big" birthday with friends and family. They helped me enormously to reach my sewing machine savings goal, and today I visited my local sewing machine expert store to buy this new beauty.
First project? A small shopping bag, great to use as a cover for various gifts for friends and family!

🧵 For all who like to see my #scrollBook project in progress, I start a thread for new photos.
The idea: Having art small enough for a handbag or hanged on a wall. 'Writing' a #book that can't get copied by AI or people - but can be inspiring for others.
Materials: A vintage wooden bobbin, tea-dyed coton flannel, #teaBags, #sareeSilk scraps, #lace, #embroidery, glass rocailles.

🧶🧶🧶 Needed a knitting palette cleanser, so knocked out this new pattern - The Emotional Support Little Chickie, a pocket-sized comfort fowl.
Mistakes were made. And that's OK... at least the safety eyes are kinda even. Now that I know the ropes, I think I might make several to surprise-gift to people here at the nursing home.
The child-like instant joy it brings to others is everything!

Flower Stole - a new project.
I bought a third ball from the same yarn (but different dye lot) that I'd used for the cardigan (which is still drying) - just in case.
I'll turn it into a stole with a simple flower pattern, worked on the bias but with a straight cast on. Pretty mindless, 8 stitch / 8 row pattern repeat.
I started it to take to the #KIP event.
