I was but couldn’t quite decide between a ship or the unicorn figurehead - I might noodle around with some ideas and add something later but I was also afraid of messing it up 😆

Slow and steady is the way to go!!! I definitely kinda rushed through and am a little sad that it’s done

Wow - Bsky ate the quality of this photo - I’ll post some detail shots when I have the time to write proper alt text 😵‍💫

I am so glad that @thesearethekids.bsky.social put together this #OFMD embroidery kit - it has kept my hands busy during a really stressful time and I am hooked 💜

I considered going back and redoing the early sections, but I kind of love that this tracks my improvement over the past 2 months 🥹

When life is overwhelming, I just open my laptop to gaze at this smug carpet-selling fucker and feel a little better

This collab is one of the most fun things I've ever worked on and I'm so grateful that @redwrensailing.bsky.social is unhinged enough to have thought of it to begin with and agreed to let me draw something! Check out the 500 word skyfic below and on ao3!!

An illustration in three panels. The largest, on the left is a wide shot of Edward Teach shown from behind, hair loose over his black leather jacket, standing at the side of the road in the open door of his black Plymouth Cuna. He's looking up at a billboard that features blond, moustached Stede Bonnet wearing a pair of tight, gold shorts and laying down on a red, shag carpet. The text on the billboard says "Bonnet's Carpets, Whole House $499" and at the bottom "Wood, Laminate, Tile." The panel on the right is a close up of Stede from the billboard looking doe eyed with one hand propping up his head. The final panel on the bottom right is of bearded Ed looking up and off panel with mouth agape and a look of surprise and interest. The light purple, collared shirt and a dark purple tie that he's wearing are just visible.

Has anyone seen his shirt? It's hard to train for pirate captain with stiddies out. Id? #ofmd #steard #stiddies

*It's apparently a cursed suit day 🤭

But my favourite bit very nearly didn't make it in, Stede frantically crawling away from getting planked #OFMD

Close up of Stede on his hands and knees as chaos rains down around him

Also Zheng "is this how you plank someone Stede?" and Stede lying on his back, about to be planked

Five coloured sketches of the progression of Stede's outfits through the series.
First sketch: Stede walking around with the potted fern and a quill pen, wearing a light teal vest and breeches over a white shirt and stockings.
Second sketch: Stede kneeling in shock in front of the weapon that Chauncy used, his clothes from the privateer academy rumpled and dirty.
Third sketch: Stede in his celebrity pirate era, with a dark teal shirt that shows off his chest, brown leather pants and boots and a sword belt. He's winking off to his right, holding onto a rope with his left hand and his right is resting on the hilt of his sword.
Fourth sketch: Stede is back in his soft fabrics, in blue cotton pants, leather boots and a linen shirt that's wide open and sliding off his shoulders, showing bites and kisses left by Ed. In his hands he's holding onto the pink robe with a soft smile on his face.
Fifth sketch: Stede finds a middle ground in his wardrobe, mixing the softness of fine fabrics with the practicality of leather. He kept the loose shirt wide open over his chest, with shiny pearl and gold necklaces framing his neckline. He's kneeling with one leg on a stool, leather pants soft and stretching in his pose, and buttery gold leather boots adding a pop of colour to his outfit. His upper body is draped over the counter as he smiles coily at his companion (who's not in frame but is definitely Ed)

Asked spouse what earrings I should wear to lunch with the dean and without missing a beat they answered “Guillotines? You know, set the tone”
