It has been suggested I make a post to pin at the top, with some info for anyone who decides to stop by.
First, I have my most important links at the top, but if you don't feel like scrolling up, here you go.
My Kofi Page - here you will find my gallery, shop, and the options for supporting me. This includes a monthly option, called a membership. My Kofi page is like Etsy and Patreon rolled into one, with some extras, and much more user-friendly. Selling my work also reduces the mentality of my being a burden, and thank you for making that load much lighter for me. Pssst...my members get automatic discounts on shop listings and commissions, and some things are available only to my members.
My Throne List - this is a list where you can purchase items for me, and do so anonymously. I have quilt-related things, stuff for hEDS, egift cards, and other randoms. My being Disabled and my husband being the only source of income aside from my fixed income, I don't have much opportunity to shop for anything that isn't 100% necessary.
My AO3 - I write Dragon Age fanfiction, namely the smutty stuff. Because I can. Fair warning: I like it explicit and mixed with humor because life is weird and funny. You will need to be logged in to read anything I post. My account is locked in order to prevent AI from scraping it so easily.
My smutty romance book list - not part of the links, but figured I may as well share here. I love filthy explicitly detailed smutty romances. I'm also quite picky about what I like. If smutty romance is what you like, check out the link. Scifi, historical, historical fantasy, modern day/contemporary, and a mix of all of these are on the list.
Second, I have some details here for y'all since I know so many of you are a curious bunch...
I'm a Disabled queer artist with a focus on quilts. When able, I'm also a watercolor painter. My work is done Friday-Monday, taking Tuesday-Thursday off because those are my husband's days off. On those days, I game, write (mostly fanfiction), assist in housecleaning as my body allows, and spend time with Hubby.
I'm pagan and the pantheons I work with are Norse and Celtic. I'm a devotee of Cernunnos, and work a lot with Thor (patron god of the blue collar/working class), Freyja, and The Morrigan. Every home has spirits, and I've been working with those who reside in my own house. I love their company and it appears they enjoy mine as well. I do suggest you talk to your home, set up a little shrine with something as simple as a plant, a bowl, and a cup. Share a portion of your meals with them, explain changes you've made and why (like hanging artwork, home improvements, etc), and build a relationship with them. It makes a big difference. Call me crazy if you want, but it's spooked tf outta my husband when he saw how swiftly things improved when he apologized to the house and explained the home improvements and repairs we've made.
Some info regarding my style:
My style will never be called subtle. Bold and bright is my route. Even when working in black and white, I will make it stand out.
My personal aesthetic is cottage core, stained glass, art nouveau, and Hawaiian prints (especially the campy stuff).
I lean towards jewel-tones, which is why I really enjoy making stained glass quilts. Bright jewel-tones with the darkest black in strips between sections? Fuck, yes.
My favorite animals are housecats, snow leopards, clouded leopards, penguins, peacocks, and hummingbirds. In that order. The last two are the colorful ones.
My favorite flowers are daisies of every kind, and very fragrant flowers. Not a fan of roses though. I think they're overrated.
I collect teacups and fairies, with a big love for mushrooms, moss, and teapots.
Most of my quilts are small because they're quick to make. My primary focus has been on stocking my shop, but now that my husband has a well-paying job as a sous chef, I can focus on decorating our home and get to work on the quilts I wanna make for us.
We're turning what is technically the dining room into my quilting room. It's slow-going due to my disabilities, but it's coming along. The walls are no longer shiny hospital blue, but are a matte green and the ceiling a matte white. I've moved The Monster (my massive hutch) in there and will be painting it as well. the room with have The Monster to store all my tea-related stuff (I love tea), and everything related to machine quilting.
I have a machine quilting frame, and a domestic sewing machine specifically for it, set up in there for me to work on BIG quilts. They'll be put to use after the room is finished.
Fun facts:
We will be celebrating 20 years of marriage in 2026. Yay! We married at a renaissance fair in 2006, but the seizure med I was on at that time prevented me from developing many memories. I have flashes of the wedding, but that's it.
I'm epileptic and have seizures everyday. Thankfully, the Big Ones, in my case tonic-clonic, aren't daily.
I was diagnosed with hEDS when I was 41. My doctor genuinely believed I had been diagnosed already because the symptoms are so obvious. We've also come to the conclusion I have vEDS due to the severity and ease with which I bruise, the length of time it takes for bruises and injuries to heal, and various other interesting things. Unfortunately, the only way to officially diagnose vEDS is via genetics testing. My insurance won't cover it.
To make things more interesting, I have POTS as well. I get virtually no sewing done during the summer/dry season due to this. My sewing room gets hot as balls before noon due to where the room being on the more eastern side of the house. I have to get up at around 5AM in order to get anything done in there. Thankfully, it's only four months of hell. My tolerance for heat is almost comically low.
I've got other disabilities as well. These are why I cannot work a "Real Job." I do my best to bring in money via selling my work. Please, purchase my work. I know commissions and custom-made items are awesome, but they take time. There are many listings in my shop, with more incoming, and I can ship those off right away.
When I drop things, I, um...sorta scream? Not the sort that would scare anyone into thinking I'm dealing with a home invasion or violence. Let's just say that Telemed appointments have resulted in my doctors laughing themselves to tears because I dropped my pen on the floor or whatever. In person, this shit is so much funnier and absurd.
My husband is a DnD dungeon/game master, and his players have heard me scream like my previous point. It never fails to make everyone laugh.
He paints the miniatures he uses in his games, and I construct all the buildings. The only thing that stopped me from becoming a carpenter was my seizures. They and heavy operating equipment with sharp blades do not mix well at all.
Hubby is a professional cook. The only reason he doesn't call himself a chef is due to not going to cooking school. This man has been working in kitchens for more than 30 years. He is a fucking chef, and his own employer has said as much. It does make him grin every time I tell someone I have my own personal chef, though.
He is also my official caregiver and is even paid by the state. It covers our mortgage and a portion of our bills, and takes some of the guilt about being a burden off my mind. He refuses to say I'm a burden, and shushes me anytime I mention feeling guilty about being unable to bring in more money.

Emmrich and Manfred dining set - for sale, $288 USD
Another celebration for Dragon Age The Veilguard. This pair represents Emmerich and Manfred. Emmerich is a necromancer, and his assistant is a skeleton named Manfred. I haven't been able to play as of listing this, but from what I've seen in the trailers, Manfred wears goggles that appear made from green gems. Emmerich colors are green, dark wine red, gold, and off-white. I think there's blue on his list, but I opted for these instead.
The skull piece is 11.5x12.75 inches, and I used insulated batting for it. This gives you the option of having it serve as a really big mug rug, hot pad, or pot holder. Plus, as big as it is, it could be a placemat, hence the coaster.
The coaster is 5.25x5.25 inches, and the same design used for the eyes. Lay it over one of the eyes, and it sort of blends in.
All the fabric is cotton, and the gold bits are metallic and shiny.
The bone-colored fabric isn't solid. It's a batik with a subtle swirl, and that particular shade has a slight green tint to it. You may need to zoom in to see it.
This purchase will result in you receiving both pieces photographed here.
Hours x $27/hour + cost of materials = final price

This is 33.5x45 inches, measurements ideal for a crib, good travel size for covering a single person's legs, or for a wheelchair user if the long ends are tucked in around the legs. I imagine it would also be a good gift in general because everyone needs a quilt in their life. I'm totally not biased regarding this.
Quilting was done in a single direction stitch-in-the-ditch for the width of the quilt, keeping it hidden except on the back. I then machine quilted it diagonally, also a single direction, and this time not hidden. The thread is a variegated denim blue that fades to nearly white and then back to blue along the length of the thread.

Say you break your ankle. You could know everything there is to know intellectually about the injury. Even with this vast knowledge, you will still experience physical pain.
Now take this logic and apply it to things like ADHD, autism, clinical depression, and other less visible/divergent disabilities. You cannot think your way out of feeling.
That is to say: you are not a bad, lazy, or selfish person for struggling, even if you know why you are struggling.
This is for just the quilt top. As you can see, the quilt is quite large. It's a twin size and will be about 64x80 inches.
Quilt details can be seen here: ko-fi.com/i/IO5O4JIRMZ Small note: I did have a cat when I made this. Finished quilts are washed and packed away to prevent any cat hair from getting on them. A quilt top isn't washed until it's a finished quilt. If you opt for just the quilt top, some cat hair may be on it. She did not have access to any of my fabric, nor did she get on the cutting table or sewing desk.

Fuck AI, look at my handsomest boy instead, he helps me in the garden by digging holes next to where I am digging. He is not helping at all, but I appreciate his spirit, we are bonding.

be proud of ‘small’ achievements that are big for you as a disabled person. share them with trusted people, share them online, write them in your journal or your notes app. forge a space for yourself. don’t shrug your successes off just bc they don’t look like much to abled people.
About the Disability Pride Flag
(its design & meaning)
Because:
A) I see it around the Internet where the proportions are off, and I think people are copy/pasting from different thumbnail images that come up in search results, and not clicking through to get the original. It's not a big deal, but it causes a hiccup in my brain whenever I see it.
and
B) There's been some discussion in the Disability Community here on Tumblr on what the precise symbolism should be, and it's changed a bit and gotten complicated. So I want to simplify and broaden it, so it can be explained to curious Normate folk -- without going into a 15 minute explanation of social constructs.
So I'm making a fresh post right now to put all that stuff together.
I'm gonna leave the detailed description of the flag design's proportions just in the alt text (so that people with screen readers know what they are, without having to listen to it twice)
The width of each colored stripe is proportional to the overall width of the flag, but I decided to leave the general proportions of the flag flexible (so it's easier for people to make one based on what materials they can find -- just in case there's a need for a protest sign for a pop-up rally).
The Meaning (Short Version -- what to tell someone who asks while you're waiting for the elevator)
6 colors represent how the Disability Community is Global
The 5 colors in the middle represent how diverse that community is
The black is inspired by pirate flags: rage at injustice, fighting back
The stripes are diagonal to represent cutting through barriers.
The in-depth reasons behind the meaning (Long Version -- If you actually want a 15+ minute discussion of social constructs and history)
The flag has all 6 'standard' colors recognized in international flags, to represent how the Disability Community is bound together by their varied, but shared, experiences, rather than geographical or political affiliation (borrowing that symbolism from Olympic Flag, which represents the global community of athletes -- also bound together by their shared experiences and aspirations).
The five colors cutting across the center of the flag represent the diversity of the Disabled Community, both in terms of physical conditions and in terms of the social-political-economic ways by which disability is understood in society. (No longer trying to assign a specific meaning to any of the individual colors)
The stripes begin centered in the top corner because that's where the "canton" of a flag is, and in flag code, that's the place of highest honor; this is where the stars are in the U.S flag, and also the stars in the flag for the People's Republic of China, and the Union Jack in Australia's flag. It cuts all the way to the end that flies in the wind to show our striving for freedom.
The field is black because Pirates!, yes. But it's also in recognition of the Black Triangle Badge (link goes to Wikipedia), which the Nazis used to mark out a wide range of people in their concentration camps, including the Disabled, that they considered "asocial." And it's in solidarity with the UK-based Black Triangle Campaign (link goes to deathbywelfare.org, from 2010), protesting cuts to disability benefits, and reclassifying disabled people "fit for work."
Reblogging the poll for more visibility, and also to reply to these Quoted tags:
#I am of the opinion that *all* disabilities don't get enough recognition as-is
[...]
#I say this as a person who can be fully able-passing (for short amounts of time)
@strangestructures made similar points in (excellent) replies to this post, especially how any disability can be made "invisible" depending on what resources a person has access to, or the context of what they're doing and when.
Back when I was still in the first stages of designing a disability pride flag (when I was still focused on the cursed zigzag design), and I was still thinking of representation in terms of different medical conditions, I only had four stripes, and someone asked me to add a fifth, for invisible disabilities.
At first, I just stuck that stripe (originally a unique purple, which was hard even for me to reproduce consistently) on top of the other stripes. But after changing it to white, and mucking around with the design, I decided to move it to the center of the design, because Invisibility is at the Center of all Disability.

This is the one I use, the memes above are fun, sure, but this one is nice and to the point.
But also seriously, check the EEOC page yourself, there’s a LOT of things they aren’t legally allowed to ask for but still do, and only some of them are slick about it (asking if you have ‘reliable transportation’ in lieu of asking if you drive/have a license for instance)
