My crafty stuff and posts that encourage creativity in general!
This is the main blog for the person behind a number of sideblogs: see my pinned post for the list
About Me: 30s, she/they, queer, pagan, neurodivergent af, spoonie, just vibing
Call me Lily, I'm a disabled queer geek in my 30s, avid fibercrafter, idk what else to tell y'all. I've added a couple of my common tags to the bottom of this post.
PSA: If your blog is blank I'm just gonna assume you're a bot and block you.
I have like a billion side blogs, most of which are witchy/pagan (the main one being @tuiliel ) and one of which is like spoonie/queer/random/sometimes bunnies (@potsiefaerie )
So if I liked your post and you don't know who tf I am, you're probably looking for one of those two.
Or maaaybe my writing blog ( @nathaira-stern ), or my gardening/plants/pollinators blog ( @lily-gardens )
...or if your blog is 18+/kink themed maybe @a-sapphire-lily [Do Not Follow if you're a minor. People who know me irl and can be normal about it are welcome.]
Full public list under the cut.
@potsiefaerie - queer stuff, spoonie stuff, memes, a fair sprinkling of leftist politics
@nathaira-stern - reblogged writing advice, some of my old D&D campaign stuff, some of my AO3 nonsense, updates from several failed NaNo attempts, and occasional fandom meta
@lily-gardens - plants, gardening, nature photography, and insects and other critters
@radagast-the-snek - my Colombian Rainbow Boa, and some reblogs about pet snakes and other reptiles (and maybe amphibians)
@curiositea-cabinet - tea and tea related things
@7serendipities - blog for my witchy shop, which also has a website: www.7serendipities.com
@eyes-of-ra - Kemetic polytheism, e-shrine to Bast and Sekhmet, not as active as I once was
@vanadottir - vanatru e-shrine and my rune stuff and probably eventually seidhr stuff
@bright-and-cold - Hela devotional e-shrine, rarely updated
@thrudvangr - Thor e-shrine made as part of an agreement with him, rarely updated after the agreement was fulfilled
@nic-flidais - e-shrine to Irish goddess Flidais and her daughters, mostly aesthetic
@queens-of-sovereignty - e-shrine to a number of fairy queens, mostly aesthetic
@athena-columbia - e-shrine to a local cultus form of Athena, as patron goddess of Washington DC, rarely updated
[Also there's an 18+ nsfw/kink blog, so if that's what I liked of yours that url is @a-sapphire-lily . No minors!]

Pleased to report that after a day of this i am not longer craving caper brine and my mouth is not dry as usual. There's some good suggestions in the notes too that I want to try.
-ancient roman posca: water, red or white wine vinegar, honey, salt, herbs (coriander, mint, thyme)
-switchel: water, ginger, vinegar, sweetener, lemon, salt
I mean great and all that but I can never cease being shocked that people don't just enjoy water. To me there's nothing quite like my bottle of water fresh from the fridge with two ice cubes in.
... this was about a sodium deficiency. If you are in a situation where you are sweating, you are losing electrolytes and there comes a point where plain water does not do anything for hydration. It was absolutely not about taste.
im a simple man i like when things are shaped like other things. stool shaped like a mushroom. pillows shaped like fruit. salt and pepper shaker shaped like two friends hugging. in my ideal world i will have a house stocked entirely with novelty objects shaped like other objects and it will be beautiful.
I’m running a quick commission sale to get back into the swing of things! Also really could use the extra help money is tight this year! I appreciate you all <3

I got a new hat at the lizard show. They had a lesbian lizard shirt that I was also considering, but I am more of a hat wearer. The lovely ladies who made this hat don't seem to have it online, but I'm linking to them anyways because they're my favorites.
You mentioned that you used flower language to plan the panels on your bee dress – would you mind telling us a bit more about it? I can see, say white clover ("think of me" in the flower language book I know best), but did you have a message in mind overall? I absolutely adore that dress, and I've been playing with the idea of flower language for a knitting project I've been thinking about, so I'm really curious how you approached it!
Hi!!! I would love to talk about it!!! :D
I looked up flower language on Wikipedia and went down alphabetically picking out things that I wanted people to think about me in the dress and things I would like to think about myself!
While I did not use everything I have listed below, this was the general starting point!
I had to pick out meanings and then I divided them into color categories, as I couldn’t visually have two pink flowers next to each other, have two flowers with large leaves and stems, use the same color of green twice, or have flowers of the same texture/petal style near each other. Lots of variables to balance visually.
There were more than a few times where I would start a flower and realize the texture, leaves, or color did not fit with the two hexagons that bordered it, and thus had to rip it out. The final product is something I am very happy with, but I want people to understand that this was very much a trial and error. I changed things constantly and although the result is still very much inline with the initial idea I had, it was not really certain until I finished the flowers on the skirt!
Since you are knitting, I think visually your biggest challenge will be color and shape of your flowers. If I were to approach it, I’d block out the stitching in a spread sheet or grid first to make sure the flowers you have in mind fit well together size wise without sacrificing shape or uniformity!! (Like how big do you need to make a bluebell to look like a bluebell and does that size requirement make your magnolia look silly and vice versa)

Behold my Bee Dress, as photographed on my trip to Italy. It was a happy coincidence that my dress this year thematically aligned with my vacation plans!!!
