Mexico City on a rainy night. It’s beautiful any time of day.

A quick stitch. Scraps that I couldn’t toss! Everything counts. #stitch #slowstitch #wastenot
My first watercolor in….23 years? Wow. it’s been pure joy. I’m looking forward toward the next painting.

A new stitched piece. I used a variegated floss on hand dyed fabric that I purchased at Donde Clara in Mexico City.

Very slowly bringing this little painting along. It’s coming back to me :)

I left watercolor 20 years ago to pursue casein, gouache, and then landed on encaustic. Encaustic has been my medium for 15+ years.

While I wait for my encaustic supplies I’m dabbling in watercolor. I’ll see where it goes. Small painting in process.

An embroidery in process this morning. For me it represents the beginning of my journey in Mexico City. The intertwining. #embroidery #fiberart #stitch #slowstitch
Visiting the home of Frida Kahlo will influence my decisions from now on. What a gift she has left us. Her passion, her collections, her joy in spite of pain and loss. Her home is an inspiration to us all. #FridaKahloMuseum #mexicocity
I’m knitting lace on the plane because i’m a bad ass knitter.

Free Shipping this weekend too! I just ordered puzzle books for the Grands.
It arrived today and my Granddaughter helped me open it. She’s delighted too. It’s lovely!
I saw a bracelet made from a vintage knitting needle and I had to have one! Thank you I love it! #TheOrneryShepherd @theorneryshepherd.bsky.social #jewelry #vintage #bracelet
Our boy started life as a homeless kiddo searching for food in the dunes. Now he snoozes on the couch and gets three squares a day. It’s a life. #cats #tabby #orangetabby #catsofbluesky
New Jersey deer. I get a kick out of them every time we are here! #
Finished this morning! I’ve made about 50 pairs of socks and this is the worst kitchener I’ve ever done. Not a big deal -
my socks are never perfect because they are always done on the go. I wore them to the park today but quickly shed them. Warm out here! #knit #handknit #knitsocks #sockFO
I looked at Etsy. what colors available and ready to ship?? I’ll order.
I’m in New Jersey till Sat 4/26. possible to ship and me receive by then? Love the knitting needle bracelets.
We made a Fairy Garden today! #Fairies
Wow, that is really a memory! I remember being in third grade and the girl who sat in front of me was black. She and I were friends but we never went home with each other - I think we knew that wasn’t an option. And there was a picture of George Wallace above the chalk board. Even then, I knew.
