Hey, all! I’m a #musician, a #fiberartist, a #seamstress, a #book dragon, a #boardgamer and #videogamer, and in general, I never met a craft I didn’t at least want to try. Transmen are men, transwomen are women, abortion is healthcare, and science will save us. GenAI is theft; stop using it.

This is absolutely breathtaking!

(Also, I totally saw this and immediately thought that it looked completely right for a painting by @stellerarts.com )

Aaaaaand done with my #CharmPatterns #ArtistApronDress! Time to fall over and get at least a little bit of sleep.

A white woman (me) with red hair pulled back and blue framed cat’s eye glasses takes a selfie in a bathroom mirror. She is wearing a handmade short wrap apron dress made from gray cotton canvas fabric with big black polka dots interspersed with black cat faces. Some of the black cats are wearing sparkly silver cat’s eye glasses. The bib pocket, carpenter pocket, and straps are all made from a sparkly silver cotton fabric. There are diamond-shaped patches on all of the pockets made from the polka dot material, with a glasses-wearing cat in the middle of each.

Yo this GFM for Austin trans housing has a $100K match that could be life changing for the organization. They are specifically asking local celebs to help with meeting the goal.

I immediately thought @andreagrimes.com @kitoconnell.com and @oliviamesser.bsky.social may want to boost?

Late notice, but no Twitch stream tonight - I’ve been rushing to get ready for my trip to NY tomorrow. I likely won’t stream from my own channel this Thursday and next Tuesday, but stay tuned - it’s possible I might make a guest appearance on @therepressions.bsky.social channel while I’m up there!

Photo is of the skirt and top right before I pinned them together, carefully sewed the whole thing…and then realized I still had my stitch length set on 4 (basting) instead of 2. So I had to stitch it all over again.

A photo of a 1.5 short circle skirt (from the Artist Apron Dress by Charm Patterns) and a bodice, both made from a gray cotton fabric with black polka dots and kitty faces printed on it. Some of the kitties are wearing sparkly silver glasses. The carpenter pocket on the skirt, the bib pocket on the top, and the straps are all made from silver sparkly cotton fabric, and the pockets have diamond-shaped patches of the polka dot fabric with a glasses-wearing cat in the middle of each.

What I’m wearing to the Bluesky Christmas party -
Essie Davis, as Phryne Fisher from the TV show “Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries”, is wearing a fitted red jacket with a wide white lace border around the cuffs and neck/front opening/bottom edge. Under the jacket is a hint of a matching red dress. She also wears short red gloves and round dark sunglasses pushed slightly down her nose, as she looks pointedly towards the left of the photo. She’s carrying a red purse on a wrist strap, and a large cream-colored parasol with Asian designs on it.

I’m about halfway through my second #ArtistApronDress. The store didn’t have enough cat fabric for me to do a full dress, so I’m using sparkly fabric for the pockets and straps.

🧵 #wip #sewing #craftsky #stitchsky #charmpatterns #SewAndTell #Handmade #GarmentSewing
Several pieces of fabric and paper pattern pieces for the Charm Patterns Artist Apron Dress are spread across a cardboard cutting mat. The bodice and skirt pieces are cut out of a gray fabric with big black dots, which are interspersed with little black cat heads. Half of the cat heads are wearing sparkly silver cat’s eye glasses. The bib pocket, carpenter pocket, and straps are all cut out of a creamy silver sparkly fabric, which coordinates nicely with the cats’ glasses. On the bib pocket and each panel of the carpenter pocket are cut-out diamonds of the polka dot cat fabric, each featuring 9 big dots and a cat with glasses in the center.

Starting @charmpatterns.bsky.social #ArtistApronDress number 2! The jury is out as to whether I can finish this before I leave for New York next week. Wish me luck!

A large piece of fabric is laid out flat on a cardboard cutting mat. It is gray with big black dots on it, and black kitty heads interspersed among the dots. Some of the kitties have glittery silver cat’s eye glasses on. The pattern piece for the back of the skirt (short version) is laid out on the fabric.

#Pie! (Pay no attention to the mess behind the curtain…..)

( #BanoffeePie and #CosmosApplePie from #Vegan Pie In The Sky by @isachandra.bsky.social and Terry Hope Romero)

The pie crust in a glass pie dish holds unseen layers of bananas and toffee, topped with a layer of Rad Whip and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Cosmos Apple Pie from Vegan Pie In The Sky by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero. Spiced apple filling is topped with a fancy crust made of radial overlapping thin strips of pie crust, with braided edges surrounding most of the pie, three pie crust roses at the top edge, and a wavy line of crust at the bottom edge.

It is a big week to think about the fate of 46 million turkeys who lose their lives for a meal. Turkeys are absolutely amazing animals who have wonderful smart personalities that most people never stop to learn about. We love our wonderful 8 turkeys that call MMFS home.

I'm celebrating a milestone birthday this month and I'll be streaming on Tuesday, 11/25, to commemorate. It will be a retrospective, of sorts, of music that had a formative influence on me. Join me at 10 pm US Central time on twitch.tv/DJellafine !
Flyer with the Isolation Tuesday logo: an image of a circular record label, white with black letters. At the top it reads "Birthday" above a small image of dj ellafine, and underneath that "in Isolation." below it is the usual info that appears on the Isolation logo: "with dj ellafine; Tuesdays at 10 pm central on twitch.tv/djellafine" Below that text has been added in bold: "nov 25 2025." Behind the circle, which is semi transparent, can be seen an image of a cupcake with sparklers sticking out of it, and a gold cake topper with the number 50 on it.
