Just finished this little litter of salty sea doggos. Now they're ready to set sail to their new home. #oneofakind #loveineverystitch #buttoneyes #stuffedchihuahua https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq_J-WxB_K5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1safjhb8g4dpn

Finishing up a present for someone. #insidejoke #trustwomen #itsasecret On this note, I'm working on a system for taking custom orders. I'd take a small cut to offset the cost of supplies, but most of the proceeds would still be donated. Figuring out the details as I go. Is there something weird you'd like to have hand sewn or embroidered by yours truly? Hit me up and we'll work something out. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq5mtkiBIDW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=v2hzz14nub4j

It's time! Today's the day for the #girlgangholidaythang at the Oakland Scottish Rite Center, from 11-5. 120+ womxn makers and artists, + food and drink, fun and shenanigans. A portion of each artist fee and raffle will be donated to Global Fund for Women, for their work on human rights and striving for justice. ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏻 I'm donating 🌟ALL🌟of my proceeds there as well. And of you're lucky, you can win one of my items in the raffle! Please come! It's free and indoors (in case you're feeling cooped up from the smoky air). I'm so incredibly proud to be listed among these amazing artists and makers, and I would feel so touched if you could make it out to say hello. #globalfundforwomen #whoruntheworld #supportyourlocalgirlgang #craftingforjustice #bayareacrafter (at Oakland Scottish Rite) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqSXzbAB2Gv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1srszo5urbuvs

I had planned to spend today crafting anyway, so when I heard Stan Lee had passed, it seemed fitting to bust out my #Spiderman fabric. #ripstanlee. You'll be missed. #withgreatpowercomesgreatresponsibility https://www.instagram.com/p/BqGduelhVpk/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3fy77udjzami

I prefer a tiara myself, but you can't go wrong with a #justiceleague bow either. Want one? I'll have a few hair pretties at my table during the #girlgangholidaythang NEXT SUNDAY, 11/17. Be there or be square. https://www.instagram.com/p/BqEVyGMB8Yz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bopxrq96ugio

Tomorrow! Holiday craft fair at the Pinole Senior Center! Every single cent I make will go to @foodbankccs. I would love to see your sweet faces at my booth. Please say you'll drop by.

Did you know that 1 in 8 people within Contra Costa and Solano counties turn to @foodbankccs for emergency and supplemental food? I'm proud to officially announce that all of my proceeds from the Pinole Senior Center Craft Fair on November 4th will be donated to the Food Bank of Contra Costa and Solano. Kick off your holiday shopping, and help feed your neighbors at the same time. The event is free and family friendly! I hope to see you there.

Making some holiday decorations for my craft events next month. Nothing says festive like the silent majesty of a winter's morn... the clean, cool chill of the holiday air... an asshole in his bathrobe, emptying a chemical toilet into my sewer. #shitterwasfull #girlgangholidaythang #christmasvacation #holidaydecor #embroidery #youseriousclark #swearingincursive #christmasiscoming https://www.instagram.com/p/BpGsTHDBEDR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1n4d8p66t5xbw

Added another member to my #chihuahuapack. Experimenting with eye and ear size and placement gives the lil doggos such different expressions. Fabric types change their face and posture as well. They're all unique, just like real chihuahuas. 😍 They can't wait to go home with you. https://www.instagram.com/p/BpC7b88hVCs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=gphe1t17r2qf

Ok. Yes. It is still officially too early to be talking about Christmas. I am not trying to upstage Halloween. But I wanted to make some holiday stuff for my HOLIDAY craft fairs next month. (Deets and rsvp at the link in my bio.) Thanks to #therecraftingcompany and @the_sewing_room_alameda for having my back. 💖🎄🎃 #christmasiscoming #christmasfabric https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo45xVbBMTf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1o73ecs3p91os

Another #stuffedchihuahua. Still getting the hang of making them. They're small and very fiddly, just like the real thing. Will I see you at a craft fair on November 4th or November 17th? Let me know if you're planning to be there! https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo4i8YWhe72/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ma2etrkmlzwl

I was working on my embroidery in Starbucks this morning and two different women engaged me in conversation about it. This is an icebreaker for sure. Within seconds we were bonding over our constant rage in these trying times. This is my version of a painting that has always fascinated me: Truth Coming Out of Her Well, by Jean-Léon Gérôme. (Truth coming from the well armed with her whip to chastise mankind) It has been on my mind more and more lately. I'm not sure if I'll make it into a bag or a pillow, or if I'll just leave it alone to display. But I couldn't get this image out of my mind, and wanted to make it into something to share with you all. I'll post another picture when it's done. #truthcomingoutofherwell #jeanleongerome #embroidery #needlepoint #currentmood https://www.instagram.com/p/BozfPWGBeuY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9wr1ik8emmjr

My chihuahua army is coming along slowly but surely. I didn't do it on purpose but the green one is kind of a little #spoopy Halloween zombie doggo. These (and hopefully more) pups will be looking for loving homes at craft fairs next month. Plus, all proceeds will be donated to social justice causes (TBA soon). #stuffedchihuahua #chihuahualady #myfamiliar #craftivism #appleheadchihuahua #doglady #girlgangholidaythang #craftingforjustice https://www.instagram.com/p/BosU59HBqXX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=5zbi8kirhpku
