Time for a bath and a proper block (and a fluffy pompom I think). This hat does make me unreasonably happy.

Pattern: Öronlappsmössa top-down by Anna Bauer.

Charts on the borders by me. Frogs, bubbles, lillypads and mushrooms ^^

Urgent care is a very funny name for it because they do not treat you with any urgency nor do they care

Another fish jacket?! Another fish jacket <3

This time I tried flat felled seams for the sleeves which was fun and it totally didn't almost kill my sewing machine.

“Contemplating the teeming life of the shore, we have an uneasy sense of the communication of some universal truth that lies just beyond our grasp… the ultimate mystery of Life itself.”

"this must hit so hard if youre stupid" is such a simple yet incredible rinse i think it might change the hating game forever

also all my friends make fun of me for always carrying my swiss army knife but guess who they turn to when they need a cardboard box opened or a string cut or a bottle opened??? many such cases.

wish it was more acceptable to carry around a knife. not in a I'm gonna stab someone way but like what if I need to bushwhack some bushes. or do a little on-the-go wood carving?? many such options but sadly my bum ahh TSA-ized society sees no whimsy and joy in the world.....

#TextileTuesday:

“Border fragment of wool with a continuous band of #hummingbirds and fringelike appendages representing beans. Early Nasca [Nazca, Peru, c.1-450 CE]. Pollination of bean plants by birds may be suggested here. Border was formed using a needle-knit stemstitch.”

We have GOT to stop pathologizing the joy out of life.

Saw someone claim that if you read a lot as a child, you were disassociating. No, you were reading. Because reading is fun.

"I have a problem with maladaptive daydreaming." It's only maladaptive if it negatively impacts your ability to function in the real world. Laughing at a joke you made in your head isn't doing that.

"You seem to do a lot if creative projects. What are you escaping?" I'm escaping this conversation.

Like what is the end goal? Because so far, all this has done has made it harder to enjoy my hobbies because you're turning a mindless process into something I gotta think about.
