Hawksong Weaving

My sweet Hades Himbo. I got the runt and then he DIDN'T STOP GROWING.

Sharing some digital collage art for no particular reason at all.

3. Date people with experience in old folks homes, they won't bat an eye at going slower, and they can admire a good rollator. 4. Date nerds. My rollator is being decorated as Grond the Seige weapon from Lord of the Rings for Halloween this year. 5. You think you want a medical alert calico. No you don't, especially if you get overstimulated easily. 6. There is no shame in sitting down to do a task and 90% of tasks can be done sitting down. 7. As someone reliant on others you literally cannot afford to be a bitch, knock it off. (If you bean soup this I'm not replying, look at the title of this post and use some context clues for the love of media literacy.)

The yarn for these trivets (available for sale on my store) is hand-dyed and handspun by KittyCat Spins in Drayton Market, England. She mailed them across the pond to me and I had the most wonderful time weaving with them! Then I ran the weavings through my washing machine on high heat and high agitation, cut them into squares, sewed them to a backing of upcycled cotton muslin, and hand sewed a blanket stitch border with cotton embroidery floss! They turned out wonderfully, if I do say so myself.

Green, Blue and Purple Possibilities!

Strawberries... in a summer evening! I love doubling the weft, you get such a fun variegated feel!

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.

This bag has the funniest story. I made it for Pride Month, posted that it was going to be first available at the Great Falls Farmers Market in Turners Falls, MA, and that if it didn't sell I was going to bring it to Waterway Arts (also in Turners Falls, MA) and it was going to be sold there. This glorious, wonderful queer showed up 10 minutes before the Farmers Market opened and rabidly hunted through the bags and crowed in utter delight upon finding it. And just... I love when social media works for good rather than evil.

Scottish Highland, in Sleuthwood on the Lake...

I Really Like Fenrirmadman and Habitual Line Crosser as content creators. I loathe violence and the United States Military as an institution, but I do appreciate history memes and things that go boom!

Handwoven Rainbows are the best rainbows!

THE MOLLYMAUK TEA LEAF SCARF WENT TO A CRITTER!!! Oh I'm so happy! This scarf was handwoven from upcycled and thrifted sari silk yarn (for the weft) with free-bin red acrylic for the warp!

Experimenting with joining infinity scarves! This joining is two scraps of vintage lace made in New England (at least according to the label on them at the thrift store, but I tend to trust that thrift store) and a hand embroidered patch made by one of my favorite regular customers. I'll work on cross stitch while I'm at Markets and she'll come see my progress and hand me some of her newest work "Now don't say no, this stuff won't do me any good just laying around. Go and make something with it." (So much of my business is based on saying "Yes Ma'am" to older women!)

Aaaaa! *flails* I'm so glad! It is a process, but it's one that's very hampered right now by staying safe. I wish you the utmost of luck with being true to who you are and the same comfort, relief and abundance! What a lovely well wishing!
