Oooh, I Went Out And About Today By Myself And Had A REALLY Lovely Time Exploring! I Specifically Wanted

oooh, I went out and about today by myself and had a REALLY lovely time exploring! I specifically wanted to pop into a local quilt shop that I've never been in—if you're familiar with local crafting shops you know they have wildly limited hours lol—and had a little chat with the staff! They carry Ruby Star Society fabrics which I was jazzed to see, even though it was slim pickings. I love LOVE RSS fabrics, the colors are just!! *chef's kiss*

Afterwards I ambled around the plaza and found an awesome little art store that is like? A thrift store/art supply/consignment combo and WOW. It was just stuffed to bursting with all kinds of bits of art supplies for like, $1 each. ONE DOLLAR. In this economy? And it was virtually all things that people would have otherwise thrown away despite it being perfectly good.

L i t e r a l l y filled a tote bag with fabrics ends and scraps, a ribbon, and trim, and beads. All exactly what I am looking for, and in the quantities that I'm looking for, to keep practicing making animal dolls.

I am JAZZED out of my little mind about this new goblin hoard of fabric!! I can make things! I can experiment with tricky, slippery fabric and not be terrified about wasting a ton of money! I have so many new, inspiring colors and pattern to put together into wee little rompers and bows and bags. ; u;

It's Gonna be May~

platforming palestinian joy is just as important as sharing the suffering they're enduring during this genocide. despite continued displacement and bombardment, you cannot steal their joy and spirit. happy birthday to this sweet baby 🖤🇵🇸 may they grow up to see a free palestine

I'll be at MoCCA Fest at table 68 this weekend, and I made some of my favorite, evergreen pieces of art advice into a print for the occasion! Always some nice reminders for me, but maybe they'll be helpful for you too.

(Personally, I have never been steered wrong by "follow your thirst." 😌)

happy birthday trans people!!!
