I’ll be vending at two new spots this month and I hope to see you there! Both of these events will be doing good things for our community, whether it’s Arable’s food drive for Food for Lane County, or We Mend Us fundraising for Black Thistle Street Aid, PRSG and the PCRF.

A vending schedule graphic against a photo of looking up at green, orange and yellow leaves and a blue sky. The box the text is in is semi-transparent with grey stitching detail. White text reads “bigbadtrouble November 2025 Vending Schedule. Nov 2, Arable Brewing Pop-Up, 510 Conger St, Eugene. Nov 16, Arable Brewing Pop-Up, 510 Conger St, Eugene. Nov 22, Mend: A Theatrical Spell, 440 Maxwell Rd, Eugene. Nov 23, Mend: A Theatrical Spell, 440 Maxwell Rd, Eugene. Want me to vend? bigbadtroubleshop@gmail.com”

Forever in love with reproducing vintage Pride pins! These are a labor of love, heavy emphasis on the love. 🏳️‍🌈♥️

ko-fi.com/bigbadtroubl...

Nine round pins laid out in rows of three. From left to right and top to bottom: Blue with an inverted rainbow triangle with black text that says “We’re not a danger to your family, WE ARE YOUR FAMILY!” White with a lavender drawing of a raised fist with butterfly wings and text that reads “COME OUT”. Magenta with a pink triangle in the center of a green united Ireland. Yellow with wobbly black text that says “DON’T FEED OR TEASE THE STRAIGHT PEOPLE”. Red with a purple star in the center and white text that reads “gay revolution”. Purple with a red fist inside a female symbol. Pink and blue with alternating color text that says “OUR NATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCE PLAN: ‘DON’T GET SICK’”. White with pink text that reads “LESBIANS UNITE IN ARMED SNUGGLE”. Pink with italicized black text that says “How Dare You Presume I’m Not Transsexual?”

I hope openai gets sued into oblivion, and when they get to oblivion, the void lords banish them to the shadow realm, and then when they get to the shadow realm, they get annihilated by a blue eyes white dragon

As always, I will have tatreez patches at my booth with all sales going to my friend Dua’a in Palestine.

I am so in love with our community here in Eugene, and how quick we are to step up in times of need. Looking forward to the conversations I’ll have with you lovely folks this month!

Maybe someday I can visit my ancestral home and ask my ancestors for answers themselves. Until then, I will feel adrift and Samhain will challenge me to dig ever deeper.

I’m no-contact for personal reasons, and don’t have anyone to ask questions of. Having to scour through the internet only to find rampant misinfo and dead ends led me to tears last night.

The internet is full of copy-pasted paragraphs with no citations, and to my display, misattributed AI generated portraits. Our castles are now tourist attractions. There’s a lot of grief in being from a family that carries Celtic names but has long been separated from our lands and culture.

Samhain is a time where the veil is thin and we can reach back to our ancestors. I spent time last night digging through long-abandoned websites for more information about my ancestry, specially Clan Macaoidh (anglicized to MacKay) and Clan Dùbhghlas (anglicized to Douglas).

Digital art of pink Celtic knot work in a thick circle, surrounding an orange triquetra, a symbol of life, death and rebirth. The colors are pulled directly from the sunset lesbian flag. It’s laid over a blue-green tinted photo of Autumn leaves against a pale blue sky.

I estimate I’m about a week away from finishing the beading on this piece. Having a hard time with the last section but just need to keep with it.

#Embroidery #BeadEmbroidery

Work in progress bead embroidery of a section of The Reluctant Bride featuring an opulent sable coat and purple dress. The unbeaded portion is bare fabric stabilizer on salmon felt.

Her vending table is covered in a golden spandex cloth with a floral table runner in the center. From left to right, there’s an acrylic display of stickers, square prints, a price menu, business cards, standup displays of embroidery pieces, spreads of cross stitched patches, and tiny zines.

My newest shop update is LIVE on my ko-fi! It includes a lot of tatreez patches, with every cent going to my friend Dua’a, who’s seeking an evac out of Palestine with her family.

Shop now: ko-fi.com/bigbadtroubl...

A spread of cross stitch patches against a black background. At the top are four Moon of Bethlehem tatreez patches flanking either side. The rest are phrase patches that read “t4t”, “butch”, “saoirse”, “1312”, “futch”, “dyke” and “eug”.

Sharing an ask from my friend of many years, Ivory Jean. If you donate $10 or more and send me proof, you can pick any sticker from my shop and I’ll mail it to you for free. Open internationally! Please spread this ask around as the need is urgent! Thank you. ♥️

A flyer with a warm brown and powder blue color palette. On the left is a photo of Ivory Jean, a Black woman with thick braids and a black bandana around their neck, sitting at a restaurant table. Text on the right reads:

Mutual Aid Needed ASAP!

Ivory Jean is a Black musician and interdisciplinary artist who recently came back to the US. They were recently hospitalized for nerve damage in their legs and chronic stress, and have to take time off work for bed rest. Funds are needed to help cover missing work, and to get Ivory Jean a vehicle so they can reduce how much walking they’re doing.

Can't help with money? Assistance is needed to find resources for low cost or free vehicles within a 12 hour radius of New Orleans.

Finally, it is picked up by a gull and dropped somewhere far from the pebbles and the sand where it once rested. Who will find it next? Will they intuit the shell’s purpose?

Anyway, that’s what looking at this piece makes me think of.

Juniper Harwood @bigbadtrouble.bsky.social · 26d

A sacred shell is thrown from a jagged cliffside into an unforgiving sea. The waves are too choppy for it to sink, and it churns in the foam at the edge of the shore, flipping wildly for what feels like an eternity to the shell.

My latest Radiant Carpet piece, part of a series where I stitch a self-drafted pattern in various color schemes! I don’t often use brown thread, but I wanted a more basic color to ground this version of Radiant Carpet.

A cross stitch piece with an abstract square pattern that radiates out in layers from a central spiral, and is accented on its edges by single lines of stitches like fringes on a carpet. It’s stitched on purple and pink dyed aida with gradient threads of browns, greens, purples, blues and pinks.

My next sticker design is inspired by one of the most haunting sights of my life, watching the beam of Heceta Head Lighthouse cut through thick fog on a dark night. This sticker will GLOW IN THE DARK!

Line art of a red Heceta Head Lighthouse against a black background, with yellow stars and a moon, and a white beam coming from the lamp that spirals outwards.

Working on a new batch of patches for upcoming queer events! I’m always running out of patches with this phrase on it, weird… 😉💋

A patch that is done being stitched but still needs to be cut and sealed, lying on top of a thread organizer box. The patch reads “dyke” in sunflower yellow thread, with an orange striped border on green dyed aida.

Juniper Harwood @bigbadtrouble.bsky.social · Oct 1

Working on “I Didn’t Even Get to Say Goodbye”, a trauma processing piece about how I spent the last night in my childhood bedroom, without knowing it was about to disappear forever.

This will be my stitching template! Hand punctured with a sewing needle.

Juniper holds a sheet of paper up to a window that’s been punctured with a needle to create a stitching template. It reads “i didnt even get to say goodbye” in gothic font with a dotted rectangular border.
