Starting on a new batch of tarot card bags/cases. What do you prefer for the closure? A. drawstring, B. zipper, C. fold over wrap with tie/button/snap, etc? #tarot #tarotcards #handmadetarot #tarotbag #tarotreader

Are you kidding me?!?!? AGAIN. This is where I cut the deck. WHO ARE YOU?!? #phantasmagorictheatertarot #dailytarot #wtf #kingofswords #tarot #tarotreading

And of course, I'm two inches away from top stitching the binding and my beloved machine sounds like someone threw sand in the motor. At least it held out so this one got finished. Guess what ever I've got made is what I'll have at the show. ｡ﾟ( ﾟஇ‸இﾟ)ﾟ｡

I love this deck. Bought it long ago coz it was so cute, but I love how the meanings of each card apply to the journey through everyday life in a way that is so applicable. The meanings are a bit different from standard decks and that keeps me from just applying remembered meanings and think a bit more. Every reading has been about the same thing this week. Repeating cards, repeating themes. First two fell out as I was shuffling. Like I need cards to tell me my overwhelm is blocking me from getting shit done so I can be happier! #tarot #dailytarot #phantasmagorictheatertarot #overwhelmed

My mother taught Spanish for forty years and she was famous for her performance while teaching the story of Don Quixote. She had these 60s wood statuettes of Ol' Don and Sancho Panza and she'd use them to pantomime the story, running around the room, breaking out into a sweat. It was something she did every year and the kids of her students would look forward to it in their year. So I made this for her for Mamma's Day. It will probably end up in the guest room with all the other crap I've made her that doesn't match her decor, but whatever. :) #pillow #embroidery #donquijote #donquixote #handdyed #handdyedfabric #handsewing #columbuscraftacular #fightingwindmills

The only good thing about being stuck home all crippled up: getting lots of #sewing done. #handdyed #donquixote #donquijote #embroidery #pillow #columbuscraftacular
