One nice thing about having access to a big printer is that I can think "I want more colorful posters" one day, and put these up on the office wall the next day.
(hat tip to @iliana for the cat SVG)
You are allowed to do stuff just because you want to.
Even if it uses up all your spoons/matches.
Even if it leaves your exhausted and broken the next day.
Even if you need to let other stuff slide a bit while you recover.
You are allowed to have fun, to go out, to take a day once in a while and do what you want with it.
Being #disabled, or #chronicallyill, or a #parent, etc doesn't mean you can't take time for you.
(I needed to hear this today, so I figured other folks might too.)
I saw the Weiner car yesterday.

Sooo... it's a rainy day.
Didn't much feel like drawing.
Did have a well-stocked pantry with a little too much sugar and butter and flour, which clearly needed to be dealt with urgently.
...
Now I have cookies. Sour cherry and "unicorn" flavoured cookies.
I also have a mild sugar high.
Wheeeeeeeeeee.

Here's my current #lace #fiberarts project.
Going to attempt making "spiders" into a fanned edge.
I wrote down the pattern for the small shawl I came up with for my handspun yarn. If you want to make one too, here it is: https://julesfliegt.wordpress.com/2018/04/24/didilya-small-shawl-knitting-pattern/
I usually don't write patterns down like that (just cryptic scribbles in a notebook for myself), so please feel free to ask, if there are any questions.
And let me know if you make one, I would love to see it

Here is my latest #lace practice: a Torchon edging with a fan motif!
Being practice, I used different color threads; this helped me keep track of what I was doing.

Arg! Paul McCartney's "Jet" has been stuck in my brain for two days now!

Is there a name for the law that says any online community is bound to disappoint you, usually because of gutless decision to avoid "offending" some snowflake or another? If there isn't, there ought to be.
For the last week or so, I couldn't get onto Mastodon (it kept timing out), but today, no problem. Missed you!
I've blocked my shawl!!

Really good article on picking up and #knitting stitches along an edge, by Kate Atherley. Worth reading even for experienced knitters. #fiberarts

i made one over a year ago and am just now knitting the second one. this is why i avoid doing things that require a pair #fiberarts
And Josie and the Pussycats, of course.
