The art of being alone
I had the fabric for this top cut out and ready to go for quite a while, but only came around to sewing it on a day this August when I was completely, blissfully alone. I know I sound like an asshole to some people when I say that I like being alone so let…

August Review
August 2022 saw my return to this blog, after my efforts in this area had been sporadic to say the least for months. I did some knitting, I did some sewing, and then I documented the results for all the internet to see! Why yes, I’m patting myself on the shoulder here. More importantly, it’s…

Body-positivity, or: putting yourself out there

October WIP
I’m embracing slow crafting even if it doesn’t make for a regular blog schedule. The Sage cardigan is on a break because the pattern of the two front pieces didn’t line up. I’m taking a breather until I can return to it without stress or anger! I’ve started sewing this box jacket using the fabric…

Sunday walks in the countryside
We took a Sunday walk to the new observation tower near our town. There’s a hot debate regarding its design, usefulness, and construction costs raging here, but we’ll leave the local affairs out of this blog post. I actually quite like the light wooden lattices on its walls, and think it’s a fitting piece of…
