Feeling like an elf today.

Say Hi to Karl.

Small creatures, big journeys. I feel very lucky to help them get home. 🐸

Okay, I might be getting a little megalomaniacal but I’m seriously considering turning one of my favorite paintings into a giant crochet tapestry. Ever since I read The Silmarillion at fifteen, I’ve been in love with Roger Garland’s illustration of the Two Trees of Valinor. I previously made a small tapestry crochet piece using just two colors and it already was a pain in the ass. So why not scale it up to a one and a half-meter-long work with twenty different colors? 😄😄😄

It took far longer than planned, but I’m glad I followed it through. Learning tapestry crochet will carry over into my next project: a dress with Norwegian patterning.

The pattern is by @beezeeart and was truly a joy to work with. Very well designed and easy to follow. This is my first ever sewn plush toy, and I’m really happy with how it turned out. 🐱🧵

I made this baker boy hat out of an old pair of jeans. Only one leg was needed so there'll be a second one soon cause this one's a bit on the tight side

Made a cute red mouse for my coworker’s birthday. I make these out of old yarn, stuff them with sheep’s wool and always keep one in my bag to give to someone who looks like they’re in need of a little friend.

Archery as meditation. The world turns green, the birds are singing, and for a moment I forget everything.

Went out to the heath a couple of days ago. A heath is this special type of landscape shaped by poor, sandy soil and centuries of grazing. Too barren for forests, but perfect for wild grasses, heather and sheep. I just missed the purple heather bloom but I did meet the Heidschnucken (local moorland sheep). It feels a little like Rohan, quiet and endlessly calm 💚

My Zucchinis this year are as big as newborns :D So next step will be to declutter my basement, make room for a freezer and blanch and freeze all the veggies from my garden.
