Amid the chaos of social media today, I've managed to put my phone down and accomplished sewing progress on this project:
-bloomers [finished 99%]
-lobstertail [ruffle made & sew in]
Goal: get the petticoat hanging & a Waistband attached
The goal is to have it dome enough that I can wear it closing weekend of Miss Holmes (end of this month) and maybe enter it in the Masqurade at Norwescon in April
My current project is a pretty big 1880s build (8 garments total). Tonight I got the rest of a pattern cut out, did a full put together & cut out of another and got a prototype cut out of material to put together tomorrow.
I made a giant mess, but it was a productive 4 ish hours tonight
A pattern on an embroidery hoop. It features 7 different knives with the words "no spoons left only knives " written around them. The pattern is drawn in blue washable pencil.
And now to start a needlepoint project for a friend.
It’s opening night! What are these mysterious London gentlemen up to?
Find out starting tonight when Miss Holmes opens at Centerstage Theatre in Federal Way! Playing Jan 31-Feb 23

Sure is a good way to burn us out 🫠 living through a history textbook series of events before I turn 24? Let alone in the last 6 years?
Wearing these at work today🫠
Social media is being SUCH a brainrot right now. I didn't bring a book to work & should have. Or crocheting. Or anything.
I haven't signed out of my 2 BigSocialMediaCo. accounts because it's my only connection to much of my community, but I start doomscrolling as soon as I open them
Now's the time to stock up on your banned books!
Remember:
- physical media is best (because unless you own the PDF/Epub, Amazon can take it from you!)
- Shop local, thrift stores, used bookstores, or independent sellers
- Thriftbooks is not owned by Amazon and supports independent bookstores.
Justice is coming... eventually. ⚖️

A star cluster is shown inside a large nebula of many-coloured gas and dust. The material forms dark ridges and peaks of gas and dust surrounding the cluster, lit on the inner side, while layers of diffuse, translucent clouds blanket over them. Around and within the gas, a huge number of distant galaxies can be seen, some quite large, as well as a few stars nearer to us which are very large and bright.
The image is divided horizontally by an undulating line between a cloudscape forming a nebula along the bottom portion and a comparatively clear upper portion. Speckled across both portions is a starfield, showing innumerable stars of many sizes. The smallest of these are small, distant, and faint points of light. The largest of these appear larger, closer, brighter, and more fully resolved with 8-point diffraction spikes. The upper portion of the image is blueish, and has wispy translucent cloud-like streaks rising from the nebula below. The orangish cloudy formation in the bottom half varies in density and ranges from translucent to opaque. The stars vary in color, the majority of which, have a blue or orange hue. The cloud-like structure of the nebula contains ridges, peaks, and valleys – an appearance very similar to a mountain range. Three long diffraction spikes from the top right edge of the image suggest the presence of a large star just out of view.
This image of the Ring Nebula, taken by Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera, appears as a distorted doughnut. The nebula’s inner cavity hosts shades of blue and green, while the detailed ring transitions through shades of orange in the inner regions and pink in the outer region. The ring’s inner region has distinct filament elements. Stars litter the scene, with a particularly prominent star with 8 long spikes in the top right corner.
An infrared light echo traveling from the lower left through the upper right of the image. The image is speckled with dozens of white stars, some showing Webb’s signature 8-point diffraction spikes, against the black background of space. The image also shows tightly packed, glowing red filaments that resemble muscle fibers or wood grain.
