went to the monterey bay aquarium today (ily monterey bay aquarium). i got to see the beautiful beautiful mola mola which i have missed since the last one left and also the into the deep exhibit which was so good, and i tried to take pictures of my fish with the real-life fish but mostly it was too dark

(with bonus preview of newest fish)

Hi! I love ur fish patches, they're awesome!! Do you sell them?

Also, I was wondering what stitch you used around the edges. Is it blanket stitch? Thank uuu🐟

thank you! i’m always glad to hear that my little fish spark joy in other people too. i do use blanket stitch for the borders, and it took an embarrassingly long time to realize that it’s so much easier on my hands to do the border before cutting the fish out.

i’ve actually been meaning to gauge interest about selling my fish. since i don’t want to undervalue my labor and time, they would be pretty expensive — generally around $100, and they’re only a couple inches. but i am saving up for top surgery, so any money is helpful lol.

I'm doing Nano-lame-o by which I mean that my main goal is to dedicate daily time to working on any creative project whatsoever, preferably at least an hour but any amount of time works.

Today my husband and I worked on our TTRPG project for two or three hours (mostly playing around with orbits and tides in a very not-that-useful way), and then I started a .scriv document to write down and organise my worldbuilding notes.

Today was a good day. Now the real challenge: going to bed keeping it up!

it’s done! already removed from the backing fabric and blocked (ish), and now i just have to decide where to put it. i was planning on hanging it on the outside of my door, but i’m honestly too worried about some idiot stealing it (yay college dorms)

i have started a new project doing something i have tried once! since it’s october i figured i should make a little spiderweb for the corner of my doorway (i have very little idea of what i’m doing) (and i’m having a great time doing it)
